About a year ago I kept seeing numerous bloggers who I follow on Twitter tweeting about BritMums Live and I vowed that I would go this year. Having my second baby in November of last year means I’ve not been as proactive with my blog as I had hoped as I’ve been too busy enjoying spending time with my two daughters.… Read more
There are no words to explain how amazing a sunny bank holiday weekend in the UK is, so I’m going to use pictures instead. Here’s our fab weekend en famille in the sun:
Saturday
Saturday saw L and I heading to our local park for some long overdue one-on-one time. She hung upside down.… Read more
It’s been nearly 6 months since Baby C joined us and our family of three for the past 6 years went to being a family of four. L has loved having a baby sister and surprisingly has not shown any signs of jealousy having been an only child for 6 years, however I realise she doesn’t get a lot of one on one time with me these days when C is not around.… Read more
When I used to teach English in France I would go on about the lack of dog poo on the streets of the great old land of Blighty. I would wax lyrical about how Brits don’t let their dogs foul the pavement, and if they do, they pick it up. I would tell my students that Nice is a beautiful city, but you can’t ever look at it, or take it in, as you always need to watch where you’re walking.… Read more
I have two daughters, the eldest, L, is 6 years old, and this weekend this is what she came out with. Once I picked my jaw up off the floor I asked her where she had heard this, but she didn’t remember hearing it in any one place which therefore implies that she has not come across this idea just once.… Read more
For the first time I’m linking up with Mummy Barrow and her Ranty Friday theme. I’m not sure if this is following the rules or not but I’m going to have a rant at myself.
You would think that by the ripe old age of 37, and after living on the French Riviera for 14 summers, I would know better.… Read more
Or in fact to anyone who does any solo parenting over any length of time.
Hubs was away with work for 3 days last week, and he is away again for a further 3 days this week. I don’t do solo parenting very well. I always get excited first of all at the idea of having the remote control to myself, of being able to hog the whole bed, of eating junk food in front of the TV and calling it dinner.… Read more
Yesterday I had my cake. And I ate it. Thanks to the lovely people at Baker Days who sent me a personalised cake through the post. Yes, that’s right, I got a cake, delivered through my letterbox.
I had heard about Baker Days and their letterbox cakes on Twitter but to be honest I didn’t think they’d be up to much.… Read more
When L was a baby in France she would have 2 to 4 teeth coming through at a time, and she would scream for both France and England in the screaming Olympics when they did. This was a shock to the system as she was the most chilled baby apart from that.… Read more
