When I was reading books to my toddlers I would try to find something that wasn’t mind numbingly boring for me, because we all know you’re gonna read that book 66 gajillion times, so you better love it. I tried to find things that were cute but also had a cool theme.
Last week my friend Kelly at Debiehive wrote about missing the days when her babes were small and how taking parental advise for strangers wasn’t always bad. And by all accounts she’s right.
I wrote a post a while ago about toddler tantrums. In my regular blog readings and on twitter, I see so many women struggling with this shitty toddler stage but those years can be wonderful and fun and tantrum free. Here’s what I learned along my journey……………. When was the last time your kids had a full on tantrum? …
Today I’m linking up with They Call Me Mummy and her momfessionals. Here’s a story about a not so great step parent, Me.- Before I had any idea what I was doing, I was in charge of someone else’s child. It was tough and I messed it up, pretty badly at times. Do you think I damaged her much? …
As we are about to embark on our bi-annual pilgrimage to the homeland, I think back on all the long trips we’ve made with children and how interesting they have been.

Not that I really did it too much but with the kids older now, their palettes are changing anyway and they are enjoying more varieties of foods. Whatever I serve is what they eat. If they don’t eat it then they will be hungry. My …
“My kids get me up too early” or “Why won’t my baby sleep through?”” I can’t even shower!” Have you heard these statements when chatting over coffee with young mums? I have. Or “He won’t let me put him down”. So poor mum has a baby attached to her all day! This would drive me insane. It seems that new …
When was the last time your kids had a full on tantrum? Can’t remember or was it this morning. Are you one of the lucky ones whose kids don’t do that? If you are, well done you, pat yourself on the back because it’s not luck, you’re doing something right. I don’t subscribe to them, don’t allow them and …
