Metal Mummy

The last 2 or 3 days have been, let’s say, on the difficult side. Freyja has obviously realised what buttons she can push, for me to be reduced down into a blithering idiot, wanting to throw myself into the Solent. She’s getting to the “terrible two” stage – that stage that I naively though only [...]

…Freyja chooses to play in the soil, piling it up on her legs, and then brushing it off…

She loves the soil!

Freyja has been a bit of a grump today, and instead of sleeping, decided to colour herself in…

It seems like lately, despite it still being August, the weather has completely gone to pop. Where’s the sunshine gone? Does the weather not realise I have a toddler to entertain, and the inside of these 4 walls are not that entertaining once you’ve spent a few days inside them? Luckily, today seems marginally better [...]

This past weekend has been a busy and fantastic one, because we went to Bloodstock in Derbyshire. We tried to go last year, and spent just over 2 hours there – we ended up watching one band, then had to come home because Freyja was too young to be left. She was only 3 months [...]

I am truly shattered this morning. Last night, we had a few friends over, nommed some pizza, and played a couple of board games. Before we knew it, it was 2am! And I had to be up at 7:30am!
Gah! Not done that for a while on a school night!
On the plus side, Freyja was good [...]

I find it quite amusing sometimes, when James gives me an evil glance because Freyja is mega mucky when she’s had her dinner, yet THIS is what she finishes off looking like, under the supervision of daddy, after being armed with a digestive biscuit…

She looks mighty pleased with herself.

I know I don’t usually write about things that are competely unrelated to being a mummy, but the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie inspired me to do so.
Being able to socialise of an evening has got gradually easier over the past few months, since Freyja doesn’t need my udders anymore, and also having moved closer to [...]

I haven’t written a blog for wayyyyy too long, and I have a couple of posts backed up which I need to complete, to update the blog with goings on over the past couple of months. But, I thought it would be an opportune time to write an embarrassing one for Freyja to cringe over [...]

Wow, so much has happened in the last month. We’ve only recently had the Internet activated in our new place, hence the yonks between posts. I can’t believe we’re in May already!
Well, since my last post which took place during the packing of what felt like endless amounts of boxes, we have successfully moved and [...]
