Not being a fan of children before having N (I’m still reserving judgement on some kids even now), there were a lot of things I’d have been amazed parents let their children do. While I never saw myself with children,…
Before we decided to try for a baby, our life probably looked quite odd from the outside. Having a farmer husband didn’t really change my independence and life much because he worked all hours of the day during the summer and…
N’s feet have finally grown. His school shoes still fit ok but he needed new trainers which are always harder to buy. His insteps aren’t particularly high, he’s an F fitting, but velcro fastenings never seem long enough on trainers…
It’s another big first moment. Yes, N has his first wobbly tooth. It crept up on me. I know several other 5 year olds who’ve recently lost their first, but thought we’d be waiting a bit longer. But no, he…

Living on a farm, I didn’t really expect for N to ask for a pet. But that’s exactly what he asked the other bedtime. ‘Mummy, when can I have a pet?’ ‘Why do you need a pet? You’ve got 10…
Bizarrely, as a girl going into 6th form, I did exactly that and went to a boys school. Well, at the time it was a boys school but took girls in the 6th form. After I left, they then started…
