Q 2nd Birthday

On 9th March 2018, my little Q turned 2 years old.  After I’d picked O up from school, we rushed to the Hallmark shop to pick up some balloons to add to his set-up of gifts in the living room.  We made it back in the nick of time and Q was so excited to… Read More

Q 1 year and 10 months

Quite aware that there’s a 9 month gap since I last wrote a post like this…  I feel so sad that I don’t have the monthly record of how Q has changed since April 2016.  As you know, I started working full-time in May 2016 and this impacted on my time to blog a lot… Read More

Family Update

It’s been quite a while since I last posted so I thought I’d write a little update… I’ve been working in my new role full-time since May and we’ve finally settled into a Monday to Friday routine of childcare, homework and our proper grown-up jobs.  This has been quite a journey to take with a… Read More

Are Kids Addicted to Tablets?

by mentalparentals, in category Health, Parenting
kids addicted to tablets

It all began, many years ago, with the invention of the television.  An incredible innovation, bringing the cinema into your own living room, providing entertainment for the family.  Fast-forward a handful of decades, and we’re living in the 21st century.  For every person, there’s at least one screen; and many of those are classed as… Read More

Things My Kids Do That Drive Me Mental!

by mentalparentals, in category Parenting
Siblings January 2017

I absolutely love my family to the moon and back, but there are times where mummy just needs some time to herself to collect her thoughts.  I like to ignore the housework and write this blog during any short periods of quiet time I do get, but this last week or so has been challenging.… Read More

Lost Castle

Q, you’re now 13 months old and I’m here wishing time would slow down…  But if anything, it’s just going to go by quicker now you’re in the throes of nursery whilst I’m at work three days a week.  Just a bit of an update since your 1st birthday update; although not a lot has changed…… Read More

O 5 years 6 months

You’ve changed so much in the last three months, O; I can’t believe how much you’ve grown since I wrote your last update.  I’m up incredibly early this morning writing this post, and it seems I didn’t sneak down the stairs quite so quietly as you’ve followed me!  You are still woken at night by… Read More
