Happy Mother's Day to all us hard-working (I needn't have said that; being a mother implies you are hard-working!) mums. I know today isn't going to be all that different from yesterday, or the day before, or any day since baby/ies were born; you will…
First things first, let me get something clear – when I say 'my' love-hate relationship with the idiot-box, I also mean Little Man's relationship with the concerned item. He's too little to blog about it himself; and well, I'm talking about how his relationship with the telly affects me…
1. Deep bags under bloodshot eyes. Dark circles at their worst. Sleep deprivation makes you look dreadful and terrifying! 2. You live in your PJs, sometimes progressing to loose track pants. 3.Taking a minimum of 20 pictures of your newborn every hour. Not that the little…
I've just returned from a holiday (if a mum can ever really be on one, that is) that entailed a longish journey by air. While seeing Little Man settle into his seat (he's over two now so yes, he got his own seat) demanding to see Minions…

Mums do the toughest job. Ever. Keeping baby safe inside you for nine months and then churning out sounds and expletives you never knew could come out of your mouth while bringing said baby into the world is the easy part (something I realised less than a…
Since becoming a mum, I’ve seen a range of baby products / accessories/ contraptions. Some extremely smart, most practical and a few outright weird!
