Why does a toddler…
My current questions over why toddlers are like they are. Drink while on the move? I’m trying to train N to sit still and quietly while drinking from his sippy cup, But he just always wants to be wandering about….
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Nursery heat
N tends to like being warm, but his average temperature is fairly low at around 35.3ish degrees . Even during the warm summer nights (yes remember, we did get these athough they were in September/October), he’d still usually go to…
12 months jab and symptom delay
Urgh. We were hoping that N’s last set of jabs were over and done with, especially as he’d had a bit of a temperature and was grouchy the weekend after he’d had them. But no, that was tooth number 10’s…
Natural mum or be prepared?
I was astounded yesterday as a work colleague (we’ve only been working together since I was back after maternity leave) asked me if I was ever going to have more kids. Her reasoning was “you seem like the type to…
Rainbow cake and stripy jelly

Freedom and things you take for granted
While N was at his settling in sessions at nursery and I was still not back at work, it was great to be able to do those simple things that you forget about as you’ve adapted to children’s needs. Parking….
Week 2: One born every minute…pain
The second week of One Born Every Minute & Netmums link up in conjunction with the tv show (C4 9pm Wed 11th). This week the blog link up is on pain, so here’s my take on it during N’s arrival….
Returning to work
Two days in and I can’t quite believe that people say they like going to work to get a break from looking after the kids. I reckon it’s the other way round, but maybe we’re lucky in that N’s quite…
