When I was a child I was utterly oblivious to the pressures felt by my parents. Like any child, I had no idea whether they felt compelled to keep up with the Joneses or felt pressurised into making decisions or purchases based on appearances. If they did, they kept it from me. Had they attempted to communicate it, I would have listened politely, nodded at the appropriate time and asked whether...

Nine months, three quarters of a year, as long 'out' as 'in'... Whichever way you look at it, our gorgeous son is another month older and his first birthday seems scarily close all of a sudden! It's been a very busy development month for Toby and he's rapidly growing out of being a baby and becoming a little boy. Feeding I've felt so much more confident since we saw the dietician last month and so...

With the advent of my son's second birthday and my second's turning six months tomorrow, I have now successfully navigated the wonders and perils of having two under two in a city--even enjoyed it. I've learned a few things along the way which I thought I'd share here: 1. Coordinate naps and bedtime[/b]. This is the most difficult and most important element of enjoying having two babies close in...

Remember in the weeks and months after you gave birth, all you wanted to do was make mad passionate love 24/7? Anytime, anywhere, you were up for it. Remember that? Yeah, me neither. So when new mum Kelly Clarkson hit the headlines in recent days for saying that she never wanted to be one of those women who had to schedule sex with her other half, I thought: “Well, good for you, but some of us...

This morning I was involved in a very interesting Twitter conversation with some other bloggers, which all started with Aly from Bug, Bird and Bee asking what the #KloutMassacre was all about. It seems that some high-scoring Klouters (?) have had their scores slashed and it got us talking about how many of them are prolific link spammers on social media and don't actually engage much with their...

My seven-year-old son seems determined that I come to terms with my own mortality and it looks like he’ll stop at nothing until I feel like I’m staring death in the face at least once a day. It’s disconcerting to say the least. I know, I know- what kind of horror am I raising? It’s not how it seems, however, but that doesn’t really make it any easier to shrug off sometimes. It all...

It has been quite a week! Between school runs, homework and tonsillitis I found myself with the opportunity to speak out about the challenges we face when eating out with our children who have Coeliac Disease. An opportunity to address a celebrity chef whom I greatly admire and respect, Jamie Oliver, in The Daily Telegraph For those of you who don't know Coeliac Disease is an auto immune disease...

There is nothing quite like a beautiful, sunny day to make us all feel happy and relaxed. And as we enjoy our third ice-cream while basking in the yellow glow, our bodies are getting some much-needed vitamin D. Now I’m not the type of person you’ll find sunning themselves on the beach or in the garden - my pale, freckled skin just doesn’t bode well with it - I do love when summer comes...

I have heard numerous reports from stay-at-home mums that they’re treated like pariahs in the playground. They're apparently made to feel like they’re incapable of holding an intelligent conversation or contributing in any real way to a ‘worthy’ discussion because the chose to stay at home and raise their children. I can sympathise wholeheartedly with this plight despite being a...

I have an exceedingly colourful turn of phrase. And by ‘exceedingly colourful’, I mean I can swear with the best of them. Unfortunately, that’s when I’m actually in a good mood. I can positively turn the air blue when I’m even remotely inconvenienced. Don’t get me wrong, this is definitely not something I’m proud of. In fact, it’s something I constantly try to rein in when I’m in...
