Years ago when Rebecca was about seven-years-old, she asked for a toy kitchen for her birthday. Normally more than happy to treat my children on their birthdays, I found myself utterly conflicted on this one. You see, her older brother, Christopher, had asked for a Barbie kitchen two years previously and against my better judgement I didn't end up getting it for him. Regretfully, I listened to...

My three-year-son is possibly the most inquisitive little creature I have ever encountered. As a mum-of-four, I have fielded my fair share of questions over the years, but since the arrival of Nathaniel my world has revolved around responding to queries and replying to enquiries. Eager to know how the world works and why, Nathaniel will question everything from the colour of the sky to the...

Since becoming a mother, I have found myself moved to tears over anything and everything. While I was by no means made of stone before the arrival of my two children, I was generally able to keep it together during TV commericals intended to pulled on your heartstrings, movies described as tearjerkers and love songs made for a good sniffle. But now? Now, I'm a wreck. And it's bizarre...

For almost as long as my second oldest child can remember, there had been issues with her older brother. Issues which required professional intervention, issues which caused untold upset and tension within our home, and issues which affected my daughter so greatly she became - what can only be described as - a bag of nerves. Her brother battled desperately with low self-esteem from an early age...

Listen, I have never subscribed to the school of thought that material objects act as any measurement of your spouse's love or affection for you. Believe me, the fact that my partner will remember to defrost the chicken breasts when I forget, slip a hotwater bottle under the duvet while I'm brushing my teeth or return home with my favourite magazine, chocolate and bubble bath when I have...

Remember the last time someone approached your teenage child and expressed concern over their developmental progress? “14?! And you're still out and about with your mum?!” “15 and you're still only 5'3”. Is your mummy not feeding you at all?” Yeah, me neither. So, why do veritable strangers deem it appropriate to pass comment on the progress of your younger children...

Let me preface this blog post by saying that my mother-in-law is a much-loved and hugely respected member of our family. Not only did she accept me like one of her own when I first starting dating her son, after getting engaged she was the first person after my own mum who I wanted to tell. And while I respect her in innumerable ways and felt genuine delight when I learned she'd be moving a...

OK, so maybe the title is a little OTT, but while in the grips of PMS, I'd be lying if I said the thought hasn't flash through my head more than once in the course of married life. While undeniably thoughtful and considerate, the man I married is also incredibly slap-dash when it comes to a number of things in the life we share with our four children. And while I try to keep my patience...

I'll be the first to admit that there are many, many things in this life which cause me untold stress; health worries, mortgage repayments and my inability to tell left from right when navigating for my husband, but these pale in comparison to some other things which make my blood boil. Every day I am confronted with numerous things which rub me up the wrong way, and even though I know my...
