Yesterday morning I was all ready to sit down and write a post about how tiring and not nice my day was on Friday. Being a mummy is the best things in the world and I wouldn't have it any other way, but there are days when you're so tired, when the kiddos are so … Continue reading Not so bad, considering
Around the corner from Anne Frank
Most people in my life know that writing is one of my biggest passions and ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. But then I did grow up, and well, life happened and becoming a writer didn't. But when my wonderful Elisabeth was born I … Continue reading Around the corner from Anne Frank
I’m back!
Wow, you know you've been busy when writing is one of your favourite things and still you haven't posted for 5 months! I know! Five whole months without as much as a word. Without trying to make excuses, the main reason I haven't been blogging is that we have had a lot of illness over … Continue reading I’m back!
The end is near….
Elisabeth is getting towards the end of the first term of big girl school. And she is tired. She is very tired. She is very very tired. She is very very very tired. She is tired to the stage where if she drops a pen she bursts out in tears poor little lamb. It is … Continue reading The end is near….

After months of just saying "ball", "wow" and "mama" (which meant fruit, not me!) he is expanding his vocabulary. After a 10 minute session last Friday where we discussed: "this is a banana" and "this … Continue reading Whasaaaaaaaaat?????
Where’s mamma?
Even though my two lovely kiddos look very much alike, they couldn't behave more differently if they tried. The most noticable difference at the moment is talking. Elisabeth never really did baby talk, she was almost silent until she could discuss the political situation in Africa (so to speak). She talked so well that when … Continue reading Where’s mamma?
The First Kiss
The first time someone kisses you is always special. I remember the first kiss with my husband, it was in a nightclub in Clacton-on-Sea. This is 14 years ago and I still remember it as if it was yesterday. Elisabeth gave slobber kisses for ages when she was little (you know the ones that are … Continue reading The First Kiss
Elisabeth’s first sports day
Today was Elisabeth's first sports day, because she goes to a pre-school which is part of a primary school she gets to enjoy a lot of the events with the big children, like sports day today. It was a great afternoon, the whole school came out at the same time and sat on the big … Continue reading Elisabeth’s first sports day
