A Whole New World…

A Whole New World…

With The Boy now at 'big school' we are embracing a new era as a family.  He could not have made it any easier for us.  He has literally run inside each and every day.  There have been no tears, no tantrums, no clinging to our legs and each night he leaves proudly clutching his book bag and eager to do his homework. I'm so proud of him. With school though also comes a new minefield for me to manoeuvre my way through-birthday parties.  Up until now birthday parties for the smalls have only ever really involved family members and the odd neighbour.  This year The ...

Much Needed Help at Hand From Mum’s Office

Much Needed Help at Hand From Mum’s Office

I like to be organised. I try to be organised. I am not very organised. I do, however, keep a diary.  It is the only way anything in my life that is meant to happen will actually happen.  If it's written in the diary it is THE LAW.  If it ain't in, it ain't happening.  Sadly this once meant due to a minor entry error I turned up for a flight a day late because that is what the diary said, and who am I to argue? My diary is also pretty big.  It is, oh Lord this sounds so nineties, a filofax if you will.  Lately however it is not quite big enough. You ...

Take the Stress OUT of Travelling With Kids

Take the Stress OUT of Travelling With Kids

With the school summer holidays underway many of us will be looking forward to their family holiday abroad.  Whilst the kids happily count off the number of sleeps until they board the plane some parents, like me, may be developing amongst all the usual feelings of excitement a minor undercurrent of dread. UTTER DREAD. At the thought of how we are ACTUALLY going to get there... happily... ...with all of us still alive/speaking to each other/unharmed at our destination of choice. Those of you who read this post will understand exactly where I am coming from. Well, I am ...

Anchors Away With Melijoe.com

With summer in full swing I do love a bit of nautical fashion, even more so since moving so near to the coast.  At the moment the hope of owning our own boat is a distant dream but something we are aiming to achieve in the future. With this in mind, it is important to look the part, no? I already own far too many Breton tops, six at the last count, but what about the smalls? Here are my favourite nautical picks for The Boy this year.   Little Marcel, striped jersey top with hood, £31.00 I love this beautiful striped jersey top, perfect for the cooler summer ...

Simple Shell Craft: How to Make a Fairy Tree

Simple Shell Craft: How to Make a Fairy Tree

On our recent holiday to Greece we would walk along the beach most afternoons.  Each day we would pass a tree that had been decorated with multiple strings of seashells and old wooden spoons which had been painted white and blue. Each day my Mum would point it out to the Boy and tell him it was a fairy tree. On our return home he then asked me, "Mummy, if we make our tree pretty will the fairies come and live in it too?" We decided to find out. All you will need for this craft are: Shells, with holes in. Beads String A tree First we tried a bead to the end ...

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?
