Will this be the last time?

School and crèche run, then homeward bound to spend the day doing household chores and a job that I promised Ruby would be done the next time she is at school all day. Taking the bars off her cot and putting it back into a bed for her is something that...

Quinoa for the first time!

Been looking at alternatives to the traditional rice and pasta for us to eat, the kids will eat some potatoes but they are not a daily part of their diet. Their favourite is definitely pasta and you can now get some really good pasta’s made from vegetables...

Festive fun with friends

Christmas party at Minutepapillon this afternoon and I have been looking forward to catching up with them all as we have not seen much of each other over the last couple of months, what with winter nights, coughs and colds and busy schedules. Kids had...

No to Father Christmas

I sit here on Christmas eve, the kids sleeping, Ben in the garage putting together the kids house for the garden, the cat snoring, presents wrapped and ready to go. Earlier in the week I met a girlfriend for dinner – one of those rare opportunities for...

At last out in the garden

Fair weather bought a cheer to all of us this morning, a bright sunny day does wonders for the spirit. Had friends over this afternoon for tea, and we were able to sit out in the garden and enjoy a cuppa while the kids played in the house and on the trampoline....

Christmas lurgy

Rivan woke with a smile on his face this morning obviously feeling better. Ruby woke with a burning forehead and cheeks and a duvet cover that was once purple but now decorated with snot. Being articulate enough to explain how she feels she passed quite...

Winter sun and fun in the wind

Lovely sunny day, but cold, cold wind. Off to Chauvigny this afternoon so kids fed and in bed for their afternoon nap at a good time so we can make the most of the afternoon. Stunning drive over, the landscape really changes as you head out towards Chauvigny,...

Bracing wind

Poor Rivan having a bad week so far – what with his injections and rather a lot of swelling on his bum and leg as a result, plus another 4 teeth sprouting and another heavy cold – result a rather grumpy little man waking lots during the night and not...

Welcome to the new year

So another new decade is now upon us, many people waking with sore heads and lots of resolutions made only to be broken within a few weeks of the New Year. For me, Ben was working so it was breakfast with the kids, who thankfully are beginning to feel...

One born every minute

« One born every minute » on channel 4 for me is compelling watching – I stumbled across the series a couple of weeks ago and was in awe of some of the women giving birth (for those who have not seen it, they have put 40 camera’s into a maternity ward)....

Story telling with a bit of magic thrown in

Story telling to toddlers and young children is a special talent – I remember as a child loving Jackanory with the plethora of storytellers and fabulous books chosen by the presenters, I am glad that Jackanory junior is still available now on Cbeebies...

What to do with empty loo rolls!

Hair cut for everyone this morning (except Ben who was working). We all look much tidier and well kept and for me I have had a good couple of inches taken off as my hair has got so thin that something had to be done (I have to thank my dear mother, and...

Azur and Asmar

Ruby off to the cinema this morning to see Azur and Asmar, a film that I had not really heard about until I looked it up on the internet so that I would be able to talk to her about her morning, what she thought of the film, did she understand it etc....

Thank you

Gosh Christmas seems like such a long time ago! I remember as the children opened their presents I had a pad and pen on hand to make a note of all the presents they received so that I would be able to send out a thank you note. This list of course got...

First full day at school

“Mummy I don’t want to sleep at school today” was the first words out of Ruby’s mouth as she woke from a deep slumber. A change of subject – ah perfect enter Moofa cat smelling of fresh air and outside adventures as he hops in the window for his breakfast...

The first strawberries of the year!

Another early start for everyone today – Rivan started crying about 3.30am and continued on and off until I finally got him up at 6.30. Ruby woke at 6.50 so we all climbed back into bed and had some cuddles and stories before we decided it was time to...

How handsome is that boy!

Everyone in good spirits and health this morning, Ruby woke early but I told her to get back to bed as it was too early (it is hard when I can hear her crying as she wanders down the hallway back to her bed, but know that it will be harder if she gets...

Shopping

"Am I going to school today" was the first words out of Ruby's mouth as I nearly fell over her - she had crept up behind me as I was making the first coffee of the day and as I turned round there she was and I was nearly on top of her. She had been up...

Book library this afternoon, with the promise that if they are well behaved then they will be rewarded with a run around the playground which is nearby. Loaded up into the car, Ruby full of energy today and seems to have lots of cotton wool in her ears!...
