Christmas is all about families, so if your family is not the perfect parental-unit-plus-kids kind, you may be wishing you could go to bed and wake up mid-January (in the Bahamas). Whether you are afraid that your former partner will let the kids down or the kids will be miserable without the two of you together, trust me, there are ways to make the event enjoyable for everyone: 1. Can’t agree...

Alex has spent the last three weeks in a heightened state of euphoria as he struggled to come to terms with the fact he had landed the coveted role of Donkey in the school Nativity. While the girls in his class crossed their fingers in the hopes they may secure the role of Mary, and the boys longed to be a Wise Man, my son wanted nothing more than the admirable role of the stable donkey. Ecstatic...

I'm not a huge fan of shopping in general, and going for groceries is definitley not my idea of a Saturday afternoon well spent. But needs must and every weekend, a rmed with a list and a clear map of the grocery store in my head, I throw my bags in the boot and head off on my merry way. And every week, without fail, the same thoughts run through my head as I wander around picking up items for...

This weekend, I visited the land of hangover hell. I don’t go there very often anymore, but I was a regular during those distant college years. But hangover hell was different back then. Back then you could ring in sick, nap, lie under a quilt on the sofa all day, nap, eat takeaways, nap, watch daytime TV completely undisturbed, nap a bit more. Hangover hell has changed. No more are the long...

A pleasant visit to a toy shop ended in a scene that wouldn’t have been out of place in an episode of The Worst of Supernanny or Kids from Hell. The Bruiser, who is five, had the meltdown of all meltdowns. I’m not exaggerating here, there were people coming from the other end of the store to see what all the commotion was about. We were there to try out bikes for size before they went on the...

I know we see lots of posts about ‘things I wish I knew about being a parent’ and it made me think – what is it that I’ve learned about being a parent that I didn’t know before? Of course, there’s the obvious stuff like the all-encompassing, overwhelming sense of love you have for this tiny human being; but there’s also the other side. The practical side. The day-to-day, humdrum...

I love Christmas, but what I love more is the fresh start which January allows. While I'm frantically preparing for the big day and happily deliberating over lists ansd schedules, I allow myself a few moments to consider the joy January brings me. I am far from a grinch and genuinely enjoy every minute of the festive season, but I think the reason I enjoy it so much is because I know it's...

This is not one of those laments for the days when we were lucky to get an orange in the toe of our solitary sock on Christmas morning. I’m all for celebrating Christmas in a spirit of abundance and magic, and I think children should be at the heart of it. I love the build-up to the end of December—the decorations appearing in shop windows, the sparkle in the air, the sentimental adverts. But...

From December, us parents have a new partner in crime - a very small, all-seeing, hard-working, tattle-tale elf all the way from Santa's workshop. Each day they check in to see if our little ones are behaving and every night they report back to Santa as to whether our kids were good or bad. One of Santa’s elves visited us a few times last year, but, to be honest, Joan didn’t take much note...

So time has passed us by, and an update is long overdue! I have had seven weeks with the company of my mum staying or my husband being off, which has been wonderful, and now I have managed to achieve almost two weeks (by the time I finish this) by myself too! Now, I have to say that is not being totally by myself, as my mother-in-law comes to visit and help with the lunchtime feed most days, and...
