There are things that really shocked me since becoming a parent. Silly things. Unexpected things. Things I never could have prepared for, or guessed. (more…)

The Terror of Toilet Training
Oh god. It’s that time. It’s probably been that time for a while but I have been totally avoiding it. Yes sir, it’s time to start Toilet Training. Bloody Hell, give me strength. (more…)
The Time I was Blind On A Cheese Date
Today I would like to tell you a story about a lovely little date that I went on recently. A date with my gorgeous, hairy and very tall husband. Yep, you heard me. A date. That’s right!!! For one magical day, Mummy and Daddy got to actually leave the house without our mini human in tow, and not only that, but WE GOT TO GO ON A REAL GROWN UP PERSONS DATE WITH CHEESE AND WINE AND GROWN UP GROWN-UPPY-NESS, AND CLOTHES THAT WERE GUARANTEED TO STILL BE CLEAN AT THE END OF THE MEAL!

Ten Things I Have Realised Since Becoming A Parent
It’s interesting. I thought I knew everything about myself once upon a time. I may not have liked it all, but I really truly thought that I knew all there was to know about …well, me. I mean, who else could know me the way that I do? No-one, right? (more…)

The Day My Happy Baby Turned Into A Total Turd.
So. Today has been an interesting day so far. And by “interesting”, I mean “shit”. Today has been totally shit. And that’s because apparently today is the day that my baby has decided to turn into an absolutely mind blowingly ridiculous little turd burger. (more…)
How I became “that” parent.
I came to a realisation the other day. It was as my husband and I were tiptoeing around our new house trying not to wake the baby up from his day sleep. And do you know what my realisation was? It was that I have become THAT parent. Yep, THAT dreaded parent…Oops. (more…)
Second Place Mum – The Story of My Life
I don’t know if you feel the same in your household, however I always feel like I am coming in second place in the parenting stakes. Yep guys, I am now the Second Place Mum. I don’t know what it is. I never used to feel this way, but as time has gone on I feel more like I am becoming the “I-guess-she-will-do-if-she-is-the-only-one-here” kind of parent. Sigh. And it hugely sucks balls when you are the parent that is clung to only when daddy is nowhere to be seen. (more…)
The Christening: Specticles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch.
So, it was my little sons Christening last month. And we were super excited about it. We weren’t excited so much about the actual Christening part (and I hope no higher powers decide to lightening bolt my house tonight after saying that), as neither of us are really practising church goers…I guess you could say that we wanted to Christen our son more “just because we should” rather than “Jesus will send locusts into my shower and up my bum crack if I don’t”… (more…)
In the Midnight Hour
It’s funny what you think about in the middle of the night when your little one is crying in your arms. It’s funny what you cling on to, to get you through that tough hour. Recently my baby was sick with both a nasty virus and teething. Four evil jerky teeth were taunting him and trying to pushing their little jerky selves through his baby gums. Pffft. Jerks. And if that wasn’t enough, he had a constant temperature making him feel super crappy and unwell. Such a great combo. Not. (more…)
