The top 8 reasons to hire a Mom

-

After what seems a lifetime of raising kids and working from home, I recently decided to return to the world of working for someone else. It wasn't an easy thing to do. The early mornings suck, I put on makeup most of the time now, I don't see nearly enough of my

All of me in A – Z …

-

I've recently come across some bloggers doing a post called the A-Z of me which is a really cute idea so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon for a bit of fun. Originally I thought I would knock this post out in 10 mins flat, but it turned out

The usual resolutions

-

"Make him stop! I'm feeling anger towards his face!" was the first thing I heard from my hubby after he came downstairs. "I'm just looking at him! I'm not doing anything!" came the protest from my teenage son. "That's it. I'm punching him!" I tuned out at this point. Amazingly this kind of exchange

The Elf

"You better not pout, you better not cry, you better not fart I'm telling you why..." The slightly off key voice of my second born floated towards my sleeping self the other morning, and of course in classic style that she is now well known for, has replaced the lyrics of

This morning Baby J woke up early. And I woke up hungry. About 2 weeks before Easter I started a diet. You really can't get better timing than that. It actually went quite well up until the Easter chocolate descended upon the house where I found that actually, as originally

The full time mom

-

Since my last post, I have to say that my life did a little shimmy to the left with a kick in the crotch followed by Ta-Dah with jazz hands. In other words, while it hasn't been all fun and games, sometimes it takes a jolt to reconfigure priorities and

The teenager cometh

-

Wanted: one manual for the operation of teenagers My son is driving me mental of late. If you fancy looking back at some previous posts then you'll see that while he's always been a handful, he's also always been such fun, with a brilliant sense of humour and of course we've
