A Shitty Mothers Day Revelation
byFor a week now Tracey and I have been quietly fuming at each other, and today, of all days, it came to a surprising head.
Miss3
A Hairy Situation
by“Notice anything odd?” Tracey asked me as Miss3 ran to join her siblings. There’s always something odd to notice at our house, but in this instance I thought I knew what she meant…
How I’ve Spoiled Christmas
byI was sitting at work today eating my lunch out of one of the kids’ pink lunch boxes. It was all a little exciting, especially as we’d run out of cling wrap so it was all individually wrapped in alfoil meaning the whole thing was kind of spaceman themed.
Toodle-Loo
byKids inevitably need to go the moment you’re lined up at a supermarket checkout or the bride is walking down the aisle or the waitress is bringing dinner to the table.
The Huggler
by“Huggles?” Miss3 asked me tonight from the doorway, arms wide apart in anticipation.

by“I’ll get it!” is a chorus which reverberates off the walls of our house whenever the phone rings. Followed, since there is only one phone, by the jostling and squabbling and calls of, “It’s MY turn!!”
Tracey Does a Bruce
byWhen it comes to entertaining the kids, Tracey and I have similar approaches but our methods differ ever so slightly. She likes to get them building a sheet cubby house or making things. I like to turn on the telly.
Puppy Dog’s Trail
byAnother little glimpse into my fairy tale life.
Role Playing
byAn important part of kids development, role playing is also a great way to see what’s going on in your kid’s head. If you dare…
Wednesday Night was a Gas
byA brilliant night. A fantastically, awesomely, hilariously brilliant night 😀 The back of my head hurts, we laughed so much. Master18 was at work,…
Family Night is Upon Us
byMiss6 raced in this morning to wake us up with “TONIGHT IS FAMILY NIGHT!” (Yes, she said it all in capitals). I guess the…
Floor It
byKids are kings of seeing the fun in things. You don’t need to spend money for kids to enjoy themselves. Tonight, Miss3, Master5 &…
