I have vivid memories of Mum licking her fingers and then attacking my face with said wet, slobbery fingers in an effort to remove some dirt, or lipstick, or dried food or even dried snot. I hated it. This is probably why now, if I have food on my face while I am eating I [...]
Squirm has taken to choosing her own clothes. We have a system, she can choose her top and I can choose her pants and whatever goes underneath said top. Needless to say there have been a lot of tutus being worn lately and I’ve begun to ignore the raised eyebrows when we go out. I [...]
When my kids couldn’t talk, or were only saying basic words, I couldn’t wait for them to say that they loved me. I did everything for them surely it couldn’t be that long before they reciprocated the words that I always said to them, I mean they pick up on all the bad words quickly [...]

I often feel like a broken record because when people ask me how I am my automatic response is always ‘tired’ and that’s because I feel tired most of the time. I remember after I had Squirm, so two children, I was so continuously tired that I went to the doctor to see if something [...]
Wrigglebot: Mum come help me go to do wees. Me: No, you can do it by yourself. W: Help, help, oh no! Mummy I had troubles. Me: What troubles? W: I couldn’t get my pants done and did wees in my pants and undies. Adults don’t have troubles. Me: Really? W: Yes only kids, boys [...]
