Does Spider-Man ever just lay in his web all day & eat nothing but deep-fried flies? Or does Batman see the Bat Sign in the sky, think sod it and go for a game of golf ? How about  Superman ?He is a working Super Hero so what comes first , saving the world from Lex Luther or getting his assignment in by deadline ?? I often feel…

Fancy a pizza but don’t fancy the calories? Hungry, bored children? Then look no further than the humble pitta bread to rescue you. Make it as simple or topping packed as you want but the pitta pizza ticks all the boxes. Get the kids making them and throw a blanket down for an instant indoor picnic. Takes minutes to make & as yummy as any…

  I have just come back from holiday in Spain with my lovely two sprogs ( 4yrs & 10mths) and as usual, i had no idea of what we would need, so packed everything in sight. Below is a list of things I either used every day or made my life easier while we were away. I haven’t added the bare essentials like pram, help/suggestions…

So something a bit different today but something most breastfeeding mummy’s go through. Loosing milk supply 😢😢😢. I had a real problem when Charley was first born and this recipe was suggested to me to try from http://www.bellybelly.com.au/breastfeeding. It was very successful for me so if you too need any help with boosting your supply why not give it a go? All the ingredients can…

As a mummy, the hardest part of the day is always 6am-9am.This is when most of the tantrums happen & the tears shed( mostly by me ). If I can survive those first 3 hours without requiring the need to head straight to Bargain Booze after the Nursery drop off then I can face anything the day throws at me.This morning was an extra special…

I have read many articles about how other mothers felt they lost their identities when they became mothers.Well I havent lost mine. More annoying than loosing something mine just went to live under the huge pile washing in the kitchen , the bathroom that needs moping & the nightly dinner that needs preparing between home work & bath time . I didn’t start this blog…

        So here I am at 7.28 sitting on the train to Manchester to go into see my boss to discuss my return to the working world in September. Up until this morning I was uber excited with the thought of wearing a posh outfit , putting on my heels and using my brain cells in a real adult conversation. But as…

I spend 90% of the time looking forward to a rest from my nearly 4 year old son. To say he’s hyperactive would be an understatement and when you have been up all night with a poorly baby you dream that he will just play nicely with his Lego or sit and watch a Disney film. But let’s face it that’s not going to happen…

My daughter gets Christened on Sunday so we had a visit from the Parish Vicar for tea and a chat about the service. Having picked my son up early from nursery and explained who the vicar was ( or so I thought I had ) and how he needed to be a good boy, I had just enough time to stick a dress on my daughter and baby…

First I must say that both my children were well planned and very much wanted. My job, which I’m on MAT leave from with baby No2 requires a high level of organisation and planning so when it comes to my ‘home life’ I organise & plan just the same. The reason I decided to have my 1st baby was I didn’t want to get to 40,…
