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.

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 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 [...]

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 [...]
