I've long since subscribed to the school of thought that we're all in this together. Us mums, I mean. Those days when everything is running like clockwork and you can see yourself on the cover of Good Housekeeping can quickly give way to a day when your mug shot will fill the cover of the National Enquirer and you'll be forced to explain why you, your children and the family dog went...

Becoming a mum is one of those amazing, life-changing moments that you never in a million years would want to give back. But motherhood requires a lot of hard work, much of which has to be done with little or no sleep. And it’s the lack of sleep that I am totally blaming for half of what I've lost, although it's not to blame for EVERYTHING! 1. My ability to reply to a text message...

I went clothes shopping at the weekend because despite it being the last weekend before pay day, I inexplicably had a few notes left in my account. (No doubt I've forgotten to pay the electricity bill and we'll soon be fumbling around the house in the dark like four mole people.) Clothes shopping used be a leisurely pursuit, but since having children I approach most highstreet stores with...

When you've been married as long as I have, it would be unrealistic to expect your sex life to boast the same passion it did during the honeymoon period. Sometimes, and God knows it kills me to say this, but it can feel like mine and my husband's tumble beneath the sheets is more to do with scratching an itch and less to do with actually enjoying one another. While I know this aspect of...

How on earth do you teach your child how to behave at a wedding? You don’t want to be the only parent whose child makes a scene, causes disruption, or God forbid, does something embarrassing in the church. What could be embarrassing, you might ask? One word. Flatulence. Yes, my daughter, the apple of my eye, the light of my life who was dressed to perfection, came walking down the aisle looking...

Today, as part of the usual, barely controlled (who am I kidding? Completely uncontrolled) chaos of weekend shopping, we had an extra errand to run. We needed a bigger car seat. Our Little Miss has until recently, been fitting just fine in the padded bucket looking thing that comes with every over-priced travel system. Now that she's hit the right weight and height markers that she can move...

Our previous home didn’t have enough of a kitchen for us to sit around the table for proper family meals, so most nights we ended up in front of the telly, dinner on laps or the coffee table, hoovering up our food in a way that felt kind of wrong. I would pause, fork half way to my mouth and survey this family scene: everyone focused on the bright rectangle in front of them, concentrating on...

It was my own fault. I jinxed us all when I breezily announced that we had got through the Christmas break this year without any sickness in the house. The words were barely out of my mouth when we started to go down one by one during the first week of January. Princess Firstborn fell first, starting with sore ears and progressing to sore everything - the virus from hell. I know because I was next...

Your morning routine requires the speed and coordination of a troupe of gymnasts to negotiate successfully. Everyone needs to know their position and perform their role perfectly and on time. If even one step is mistimed or omitted, the entire production falls flat on its face. The words “Mom, I don’t feel well” have no place in this routine. Stage 1: Denial Your first reaction is to pretend...
