    But soooooooooooo cute! Nice toggle skills. And the hat is AWESOME. I think you should have a matching one.

    The moment I realised I was turning into my mother was when I first told Dill ‘I want doesn’t get’ it’s all downhill from here!

    I bought Dill a coat he’d grow into last winter, it’s still a bit too big now. I like to think of it as a money saving exercise and one less thing to worry about!!

    I cringe with self-loathing everytime I open my mouth these days and a ‘motherism’ pops out – I just can’t stop myself! And nothing I buy for GG ever fits her until she is old enough to hate it 😉

    What a cute blog and an adorable baby. Yeah, I hate to say it, but as time passes things are going to fly out of your mouth uncontrollably and then you will realize, you sound like your Mother. I think it’s a curse or something…or revenge, one of the two.

    and as the kids get older you hear yourself saying things to them your mother said to you….and you said to yourself pre-children I will never say this/that/next thing to my kids cos I hated it when my mum said it…..unfortunately children learn what they live…..just remember that when you say things to your kids…cos they pick your nursing home!!

    I’m my mum in every single way. When I was teaching I started to hear it come out… “What part of NO don’t you understand the N or the O!”

    I’m always buying ‘grow into’ clothes in the sale. One year I piled everything out of the cupboard and searched through tor the (then) current size – only to discover I had purchased not one but THREE winter coats?!? So much for saving money!

    We all do it. My hand-me-down skill is ….hand-me-downs!! My youngest is currently sporting a very nice selection of too-large jackets and trousers which his brother/neighbour’s son has grown out of. What he does not know can not hurt him!

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
