Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
This week school’s been relatively quiet compared to the last few weeks. N’s school days have been more of the same although we’ve had a few conversations around working vs staying at home as a parent. Reading books I’m sure…
I do have some interesting conversations with N. Many of them seem to be about human bodies so I do sometimes wonder how his questions come about. A favourite recently has been about blood, and why we have it in…
Every parent wants to bring their children up to be the best that they can. Kind, caring, respectful, hard working, fun loving, fair and more. But I think being a mum (especially if you have a husband or partner who…
Outside of birthdays, it’s been a quieter school week. We’ve mostly been counting down our rsvps to the joint birthday party coming up, and trying to track down forgotten school jumpers (x2) and ‘lost’ trainers. Thankfully they’ve all turned up…
It feels like we’ve only been back at school and work for a couple of days, but nope, 2 weeks in and only a month until half term. Scary how time rushes by and really makes you think about how…

Christmas is over for another year. It’s a bit strange because for the first time ever I’ve not worked up until Christmas eve, and will be having nearly 2 weeks off work. For me it feels like a bit of…
Gifts for teachers. Do you do them or not? The last day of term before Christmas I spotted children going into school with gifts, and with horror realised that it hadn’t even occurred to me to sort a gift out. …
When you’ve got children, time seems to whizz past so quickly, and this half term at school has certainly done that. N’s now done 2 terms (or 1 term in my old school language) and he’s so ready for the…
