The Day My Happy Baby Turned Into A Total Turd.

Mummy Needs A Day Off
I don’t know about you, but there are some days when I just want a freaking break. There may not be anything particularly wrong. I might even have been lucky enough to have gotten a full nights sleep the previous night.

And as I mentioned in last weeks post, the recipes the program provided were actually pretty darn delicious!! Thank freaking goodness. Now my goal for THIS week was to reeeeeeally focus on doing it right and doing it without cheating. Like, at all. Not even a little cheating. PUT THAT SNICKERS DOWN GIRLFRIEND! (more…)
Five Great Books For Babies That We Love
I love to read. I read as much as I can whenever I have the time, and love nothing more than losing myself in a really good book.
