I’m an English teacher, I should know better, but I love it when my kids consistently mispronounce words. I find it cute and I don’t correct them. I’m just hoping they’ll figure it out eventually. Wrigglebot will want to do something ‘… all my byself’ instead of ‘all by myself’ they will watch ‘Ratatootie’ instead [...]
We’ve had school holidays here and though none of mine are in school it does mean no kinder, no playgroup and no work for their grandmother. I’ve had a little holiday at home with the kids having a holiday with their grandparents. As soon as the kids left I went a little crazy pulling things [...]
I think I place too much faith in Play School as my time to get everything done. I rely on that time to: have a shower, clean the kitchen, have breakfast, put a load of washing on and do some exercise. It is a nice ideal but Play School only goes for half an hour [...]
I hate winter. I hate the cold. I hate being indoors more than normal. I hate it getting dark early. I hate having to find fifteen layers of clothes for the kids, including matching socks, and then trying to make them wear them. I seem to slack off in winter and don’t go to the [...]

I thought I would be better than my kids at most things for a long time. It seems like that long time is actually just four and a half years. Wrigglebot started off on a three wheel scooter before progressing to his two wheel one and he is obsessed with it. It goes on holidays [...]
Squirm: We can bake a cake after my nap. Me: Nope not today. Squirm: Oh, but everybody else is baking cakes after them naps. It begins already.
We’ve all been sick for the past week, well except for The Little One who has a cast iron stomach courtesy of whatever foodlike substance he can find on the ground. Before we got sick I was marvelling that there has only been one occasion when I have been so sick that I haven’t been [...]
Apologies once again, I’ve been super busy but I’ve just finished my textbook so I should have time to catch up with all of you much more often now. So we went to the beach house for the long weekend and had a beautiful time, we went to the park lots, Wrigglebot caught a bunch [...]
