The parenting rollercoaster – stop the ride I …

As a mum of three, including 3 year-old twins, I often get asked “How do you do it?”. If I’m brutally honest, somedays I really don’t know! Recently I’ve been finding this whole parenting lark hard. Really hard. All three of our children seem to waking up before 6am, particularly…

Capturing our moments – June

I’m a little late writing this post, but better late then never I suppose! I thought this month had been pretty quiet, but flicking back through photo’s in preparation for writing this post, it’s clear that it’s actually been quite busy. At the beginning of the month we had an…

It’s all about survival!

When I’d first had the twins, I remember someone saying to me that she could always spot parents with three or more kids as they were more laid back than those who had one or two children. I didn’t really get it at the time, but it’s something that has…

A bit of a catch up

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’ll know that at the end of every month I normally do a post about what we’ve been up to that month – a bit of a round up really. However, with my recent marathon training and the generally business of life…

My captured moment – Oscar turns 6!

My captured moment is from a couple of weeks back when Oscar turned 6. He had his birthday party at Pizza Express, which was brilliant. What struck me with these photos is how grown up he looks. It made me realise that he’s no longer a little baby boy anymore.…

My captured moment

It’s been a while since I’ve linked up to the My Captured Moment linky, which is hosted by the lovely Heledd from Running in Lavender. It’s a lovely linky and I’d like to try and do it more often as it’s a lovely way to appreciate special little moments. This…

The demise of the daytime nap

When the twins were still tiny, we worked hard to ensure that they were in a good, predictable routine (I think it’s the only way to survive twins!). As a result they’ve always been good sleepers. They go to bed at 7pm and sleep until about 6/6.30am. They’ve also always…

Potty training begins

On Friday Heidi began her potty training journey. A week ago I bought a pack of Huggies Pull Ups as they were on offer. Heidi really took to them and has been showing a real interest in the potty, so on Friday I decided to take the plunge and let…

Worrying about your children – does it ever …

Since I got pregnant, with Oscar, in May 2009, I’ve done so much worrying about him. At first I worried about something going wrong with the pregnancy. At our 20 week scan, we were told that his kidneys were dilated, so until the next scan I worried about that (he was…
