Weird conversations I have had with my pre-schooler this week... (Any insights/interpretation most welcome) Him: Mummy, we need a flower house. Me: What's a flower house? Him: You know, like the one we saw. Me: When love? Where? Him: You know Mummy! The one with the man on the roof and the soft-play. Me: *Blank stare* Him: If Daddy's head gets any bigger we will need a bigger house. Me: Hmmm? Him: But don't worry Mummy it probably won't happen. Me: That's good. Him: Yes, you'll probably die before then. Me: *Blank ...
The Morning After The Night Before…
Last night I approached with much excitement. Last night I was prepared. I had wine, I had snacks, I even had a fully kitted out sofa bed in front of the TV. At 11pm I marched an asleep Mr B off to bed and settled in. I was excited. I was excited to see how this general election would change the face of the last five years of British politics under Tory (Coalition) rule. And then the BBC exit poll happened. My heart in my mouth I searched #GE2015 and #BBCexitpoll frantically on twitter looking for some solace. For confirmation that it couldn't possibly ...
Dear So and So…
Dear Man in the cafe, I am truly sorry that my son announced "Look Mummy, that man doesn't know that too much food and no exercise makes you fat" whilst staring at you this week. I can only apologise and assure you that if I could have ordered the ground to swallow me up right then and there I would have done so. A hasty exit was my next best alternative so, being possible and all, I opted for this. Yours truly, An embarrassed mother. Dear Little Miss, I love you dearly, I promise, and I do REALLY love to spend time with you, but not at three in the ...

Children’s Holiday Fashion with Melijoe
We are now in full blown holiday countdown. With just four weeks to go until our two week vacation in Halkidiki excitement levels are increasing daily. For Mr B and I this is also extra special as it may well be the last holiday we stay somewhere quite as nice as our hotel this year. With The Boy starting school in September we are soon to become victims to the ridiculous hike in flight and holiday prices during the limited school holiday season so, this summer, we are going to grab a little bit of luxury while we still can. We have stayed at this hotel twice in the past and one aspect I do ...

Anthem Of The Seas: The Perfect Family Holiday
Anyone following my Instagram or twitter feeds last weekend will have noticed many excitable posts from myself. The reason for this was that on Saturday 18th April Mr B and I were invited onboard Royal Caribbean's brand new Quantum Class ship, Anthem Of The Seas, for a two night voyage. There is just so much to tell you that it may require another post, but I will try to share with you all of the best bits we discovered whilst onboard, and show you why this really could make the PERFECT family holiday. We, like many others, have often wondered if a cruise is really an ...
Holy Smokes
It has taken me a little while to sit down and document the events of Easter Sunday. I have been in recovery...from the shame. Yep, Little Miss decided to strut, or rather scream, her stuff once more. I have been somewhat remiss in my church attendance of late and so, being Easter Sunday, I decided to accompany my parents and the kids to mass. Not just any mass, Easter Sunday mass, the highlight of the Catholic year. It's kind of a big deal. Now I know that an hour can be a long time to expect the smalls to sit still and behave but my mother assured me that with some ...
Mondays Parenting Pin It Party #100!
ONE HUNDRED weeks ago I started the Parenting Pin it Party. ONE HUNDRED weeks. Where did that go? At the start I was terrified that no one would join in. Thankfully I could not have been more wrong. That week, and each week since, so many of you have linked up and shared your posts. You have made me laugh, you have made me cry. You have offered advice on dealing with challenging behaviour, starting school, budgeting and even dealing with the loss of a child. You have provided me with inspiration for crafts and activities that I have since enjoyed doing with my ...
Challenge Number Two: #VanishGoldForWhites
In the second #VanishGoldForWhites challenge I decided to test it's stain removing properties when faced with the multiple types of dirt my kids regularly come home covered in. First I took one of Little Miss' clean white baby grows... Then I... 1. Rubbed it on the wet grass 2. Rubbed it on the flower bed 3. Smeared in some ketchup 4. And some marmite 5. And then added red wine for good measure. (Ok so the kids aren't likely to come home with this one but I wanted to see how it would fare.) It was actually kinda fun. Next, I followed the instructions on the box ...
