I shared week 1 of being outnumbered here. Below is week 2. Day 8 – at the risk of sounding like a broken record (haha! A new descriptor is needed – WTF isa record!?!!) we had another bad night’s sleep with MissE up for the day from 0520! MrA woke at 0730. By 1000 we […]
The One Where I’m Outnumbered Part 1)
MissE and MrA’s Daddy travels for work. Usually only short trips away, but a few times a year he’s away for a week or two. Today saw the start of what has become his annual January trip across The Pond. My first time being outnumbered in terms of kids:adults. I should say at the outset […]
The One With 101 More Things!
MissE’s arrival had led to lots of “when the kids are …. years old, we must do ….” conversations. Which has led me to re-visit my original 101 things list, and decide to write a second list to focus on. My list is almost complete (see below) I’ve left space for a few things to […]

The One at the End of a Difficult Year
I’m not sure if I will actually hit the publish button on this post or not. 2016 has been a really varied year, not just globally, but personally too. It’s had its high points (MissE’s birth, an amazing holiday to Venice, our first camping trip to a music festival, MrA’s first day at school) but […]

The One Looking Back on 30 Days of Gratitude
Wow! A month goes so fast! Three blog posts later and what have I realised? I have a lot to be grateful for. And I owe a great debt of thanks to a few very special people. So, in no particular order: Thank youMrE for, well, everything! Looking after me, our babies, our house, the […]
The One About 30 Days of Gratitude (part 3)
Day 22 – Stories. Do I choose one from my school days (Animal Farm)? Or one I love teaching (A Christmas Carol)? Or perhaps one I remember from childhood (Each Peach Pear Plum)? Day 23 – At the weekend we made our Christmas pudding. I love Christmas traditions, and Stir Up Sunday is a good […]
The One About 30 Days of Gratitude (Part 2)
A longer post this time! Day 10 – a taste. It’s a choice between the lovely cup of Earl Grey MrJ ordered me while we went out for breakfast earlier, or the homemade millionaire’s shortbread I sneaked a slice of this afternoon! Day 11 – I’ve had a few amazing holidays but I think the […]
