This morning Milla had her first experience of a children’s birthday party. She was well occupied with many big and bright things to feast her eyes on: balloons, children running and screaming, a gigantic blow-up slide, grotty ball pit and toys galore. All I could see as I scanned the room were dollar signs. It [...]
Often I tend to focus on how children have limited my life. I have to be home for their nap and bed times, I can’t go out without a babysitter, there has to be milk in the house, dinner has to be at a certain time and everything needs to be child friendly. However recently [...]
Milla is a morning person unlike her mum. So when she wakes with her excited squeals and new consonant sounds (usually ‘Da-da’) I am known to make a bit of a fuss and cries like ‘Nooooo, just 30 minutes more pleeease!’ can be heard by all in the house. It has come to my attention [...]
Life can be peaceful and serene. You can have a day full of fun activities for the little ones and you can feel great and think you are, quite honestly, the best mother in the world and then comes that one crazy hour. You know, that one hour that usually comes at five o’clock when [...]

Welcome to the new look mrwrigglebot. It is just about the same as before only with a little bit more style, that is before we write anyway. You will also notice that we have added a forum. You can access this by clicking on the tab at the top. To leave comments you will need [...]
Having a child makes me smile and laugh so much more in my day than I ever used to – and I have always been a very happy person. I get so much enjoyment out of watching Milla grow and develop and there is nothing more amusing than her expression and reaction when she comes [...]
Someone once told me that motherhood is a series of moments, and that to get through the tough bits, you have to live from one precious moment to the next. My son loves his cot, and when he’s tired, it’s all he wants. No car seat, no pram, no people holding him. Cot. Once he’s [...]
