When I was 14 my friends and I used to jump off a bridge down at the local park into a 6 foot bush and record it, we thought we were cool and attempted to make our own version of Jackass. When I was 16 I got so drunk off Stella that I left the … More Oh Sh*t, We’re Responsible!
Commuting long distance for work will teach you a lot about yourself. It’ll test your patience, bring out a taste in music that you never thought you had, and you’ll bounce between furious driver always angry at the world, to a calm autopilot who has no recollection of how they got to work on an … More Finish The Statement…
I think about food 24/7. I’m constantly hungry and I’m a grump without it, so it only makes sense that our daughter is the same. I don’t have many babies to draw comparison, but it’s safe to say she has a decent appetite. At about 8 weeks it became apparent that Ivy wasn’t getting on … More Weaning
I dedicate an unhealthy amount of time to it, I go to it when I’m bored, we spend hours touching, and sometimes my relationship is so bad with it that it distracts me from my loved ones and the things that happen around me. In fact I think a lot of you out there can … More I’m In Another Relationship…
I can’t believe the big day is here. Our rowdy little roommate is onto bigger and better things, and by that I mean we’re moving Ivy out of the bedside cot and into her nursery! It’s crazy to think how she used to be a tiny dot in the bedside cot, lying there in what … More The Big Move
Friends of ours had their baby boy last week! The proud new mum is a close friend of Meg’s and we were receiving updates in the run up to the big day and around the labour. It brought back a lot of memories, some fond, some very stressful! It got me thinking how we’re only … More What Would I Tell Myself?
Do you know Christmas is coming? Course you do, unless of course you’ve been living under a rock. Let’s face it, we’ve ll been force-fed the adverts since the back end of the summer. ‘SCROOGE!’ I hear you shout! Not me, I bloody love Christmas. The opportunity to drink and eat to your hearts content … More Baby’s First Christmas
I’ve been a bit shit on here recently. How I wish I could say it’s because I’ve had stacks of time and I just couldn’t be bothered. But between applying for new jobs, maintaining jobs and getting new jobs, I’ve had to swap blog writing for CV re-touching and presentation creating, as well as just, … More It’s been a while…
I’m not the best of flyers, not to the extent of kicking and screaming during take off, but I might leave hand marks in the arm rest. I’m OK once we’re up there, but like comedian Lee Evans says, why would you want to be slingshotted towards your holiday destination?! Anyway, with that in mind, … More Flying With A Baby
When the topic of swimming lessons was raised in our house, I was confused from the outset, Ivy can’t crawl, she can barely roll, so why do we need to put her in the pool. The same questions were raised when I mentioned to the boys at work that we’d signed her up for classes… … More Swimming Lessons
