This whole topic of juggling babies with modern day life has resurfaced itself for me. Obviously it is not a coincidence, it’s all to do with Sherry #3. And with a new baby I think again about how I can get out and involved with events. It’s always a tricky one, that is never [...]

Imagine being sponsored and not knowing about it…
This has wound me up for a while. P&G’s campaign this year state that they are the proud sponsors of mums. Eh, hem. Excuse me. You don’t sponsor me. And am sure you don’t sponsor millions of other mums, surely you need our permission? What are you giving them if you are? The privilege to buy your [...]
The Importance of Creating Memories
There’s no shortage of times where I wished I had more tangible memories from the past. I barely have any photos of me or my family growing up. Videos are non-existent. On the very rare occasion I come across an old photo, though now this is more likely to happen when someone tags me on [...]
Blogging for Kids
We’re going on a long holiday soon. Not quite sure how long it will last at this stage…however it does mean that we are ‘unschooling‘ our two wonderful boys – currently aged 5 & 6. Aaron (our 6 year old) is starting to read and write. Ben still has a way to go, he [...]

Freedom…well almost!
Next week my boys start a new year at Lewes New School. I’m excited because it marks a big change for moi. My eldest is soon to be a whooping 6 years old. That means it has been around 6.5 years since I felt the loving yet physically difficult pregnancy that really changes everything. It’s [...]

That thing shall not be mentioned
A wee story on discrimination against wannabe working mothers…something close to my heart in recent years and experience. Once upon a time, in a land not so far away (Brighton) during a time not too distant (<10 years) I was young and eager to get out there into the working world. I always considered having [...]
A mother’s dilema
I love my work. I love doing all the werkshop things as well. And of course I love my family. However, I struggle. I want to be there for my kids, but I also want to work. Kids have (lots of) holidays. Kids get poorly. It’s often difficult to make it work legistically and quite [...]
