As any mum knows, children have an innate ability to push your buttons and test their limits, and while the vast majority of us have learned various ways to deal with this, there are times when we simply don't have the energy to tackle the issue. Recently, I was confronted with a shrieking six-year-old girl who had thrown herelf so deeply into her tantrum, it looked like she may never find a...

Myself and my husband once made a pact to never go to sleep angry. No matter how blazing the row or how frayed the nerves, we both believed it was important to hash out the issue before turning in for the night. Dragging rebukes and recriminations into the next day was a receipe for disaster, we told each other, as the ill will slowly festers and both parties find further issue with one another...

I recently found a list my daughter had compiled which, and I'm going to be honest here, didn't exactly portray me in a favourable light, to say the very least. Discarded among stray lego pieces and Barbie shoes, the crumbled A4 page outlined my shortcomings in a document which wouldn't have looked out of place in the Mean Girls' Burn Book. Settling down on her beanbag which was, I...

My teenage daughter asked me to describe childbirth over the Christmas holidays and despite having given birth four times in the last 15 years, I seriously struggled with my response. The conversation came about after watching an episode of Gogglebox where one of the cast members described labour as the hardest, but most rewarding day's work you'll ever do. Intrigued by the remark, Rebecca...

Alex has spent the last three weeks in a heightened state of euphoria as he struggled to come to terms with the fact he had landed the coveted role of Donkey in the school Nativity. While the girls in his class crossed their fingers in the hopes they may secure the role of Mary, and the boys longed to be a Wise Man, my son wanted nothing more than the admirable role of the stable donkey. Ecstatic...

I have seen lots of blogs lately with parents ‘dissing’ the Elf! Apparently, he brings out the worst in us and our children, creating competitive mums, spoilt kids and one more stress that nobody really needs.Well I am here to disagree! I have lots of friends who have an Elf that visits in December, most of them more creative than I with their ideas and regularly creating new ideas which I...

I'm not a huge fan of shopping in general, and going for groceries is definitley not my idea of a Saturday afternoon well spent. But needs must and every weekend, a rmed with a list and a clear map of the grocery store in my head, I throw my bags in the boot and head off on my merry way. And every week, without fail, the same thoughts run through my head as I wander around picking up items for...

I love Christmas, but what I love more is the fresh start which January allows. While I'm frantically preparing for the big day and happily deliberating over lists ansd schedules, I allow myself a few moments to consider the joy January brings me. I am far from a grinch and genuinely enjoy every minute of the festive season, but I think the reason I enjoy it so much is because I know it's...

I know we're nearing the season to be jolly, but my God it's hard work finding the time to get excited when I'm edging ever closer to a public breakdwon. I wish I was one of those mums who delighted in the festive season, but to be honest I feel nothing but increasing pressure every year. The kids' demands get ever more frequent, the invitations get all the more extravagant and the...
