So, this is a little embarrassing. Awesome. But stuff like this, even despite the awesomeness, makes me come over with a huge dose of awkward blushes. Don't get me wrong, I am BEYOND delighted, but now I have to ask for a bit of help. From you. And I'm feeling a bit awkward. *Bites bullet*. It would appear, somehow, LORD knows how, this little old blog has been nominated for best parenting blog in the UK blog awards. I just read that again. Bonkers I know. But there it is. I have read, re-read, and re-read again the e-mail and that is definitely what it ...
At Home Parenting With Jo Frost
I am sure like me, many of you have been delighted to see Jo Frost back on our screens with her new show Family Matters. I have always been a huge fan of Supernanny and we employ many of her parenting strategies at Casa B, the naughty step being the most commonly used! So, you can only imagine my delight when this month we came across this... *Faints* That's us folks, right there, in the August edition of At Home Parenting with Jo Frost. This makes me very happy indeed, and look at what fabulous company we are in. So if you want to grab a copy for yourself, and if you do ...
Killing Me Softly With Football…
" 'Killing me softly with football, Killing me softly, With football....' How did I end up married to a football fan?" Such was the Facebook status of a very lovely family member recently, yes YOU lovely lady who shall remain nameless, when the reality of the remainder of this summer dawned upon her. She is Welsh you see and grew up in a family who prefer their sport with a ball more ovoid in nature, and men with bigger thighs, so her (English) husband's obsession with the great game perhaps has left her somewhat bewildered. To be fair he is also a Cardiff City fan so I am sure t ...

Dear Blog…
Dear Blog, I have not been a very good owner of late and have been neglecting you I know. I have been thinking about you lots though, promise. Mostly at 3am. I do worry though that if I were talk to you then it may end up being cited in divorce proceedings. But I thought I should let you know that, although neglected, you are not forgotten. There have been several reasons for my absence. The first is Insanity. In a desperate attempt to regain my pre-baby body, *snorts*, I have been LITERALLY working my butt off, several nights a week. A few months in I am delighted to say I am ...
Happiness
The lovely Carolin from Mummy Alarm has reliably informed me that today is actually International Day of Happiness. Who knew? Not me. After a particularly disturbed nights sleep, dreaming of being chased by Balaclava wearing strangers through an extremely creepy abandoned school, I am not exactly full of the joys of Spring today. But she won't take no for an answer so, *drags self up from grumpy-slump*, it is time to get my happy-on. So, the three things that make me happiest... ...yep, these three m ...
Blogger’s Block
Blogger's block. I am currently in the midst of a severe case. The worst case, in fact, since I began this blog almost three years ago now. There have been periods before where I have struggled to come up with new ideas, and times that I have questioned whether or not I should continue, but at the moment I am just feeling kind of....blank. Totally. Blank. In fact. I thought perhaps a Silent Sunday or Gallery post might help, but you guys probably get enough of that kind of stuff on Instagram and The Almighty Book of Faces right? Blogs are to be read, no? Except this ...

First go to www.picmonkey.com. Click on 'Edit a photo' Upload your chosen image and make sure you resize to a suitable size for your blog. I am going to resize ...
A minutes pause for Multiple Mummy
I began blogging shortly after the birth of my son W. Now, almost 18 months down the road, it is something that I have come to treasure. Not only have I re-discovered the joy of writing, when I am able, but I have formed many new friendships both online, and in person, with many others in the blogging community. The kindness, support and generosity of many of these people has, at times, astounded me. Some bloggers I have not yet met, nor perhaps shall I ever, but online friendships and relationships have been forged none the less. You can really get a sense of a person's nature in the li ...
