I’m not the sort of Mum who rushes off to the GP for every little cough and sniffle. But sometimes I think we’re so afraid of being labelled paranoid parents, we go too far in the other direction. Even when something just doesn’t sit right. Or in my case, stand. And I had the...
Research released earlier this week shows that a staggering 68% of mums and dads are unaware of the limitations of current vaccinations against meningitis. Could this be why many of us don’t think about checking for meningitis when our children are poorly? Although great strides have been made to protect our children from some types of meningitis, there is currently...
Where did my waist go? Did it scarper, like my cat, once the kids arrived? And why, when I say I’m living it large, am I referring to my butt. I know there is no quick fix and as a parent I should be leading by example. Showing my kids that sport is exciting,...
The most loving, tear jerking, heart bursting birth stories have been shared with us this week as part of our Parentonomy linky. Thanks to all of you who have linked up your experiences so far. Every one is unique. And an interesting contrast to the birthing experiences of women in Bangladesh as told in...

Another asks: “Is that the Royal...
Men are infuriating, aren’t they? Can’t live with them. Can’t throw them under a bus (at least, not without a struggle and a lot of girly screaming). They’re just so….. so….. Superior. Especially when it comes to driving. They can’t work out how to use a dishwasher or a washing machine (or they don’t...
When children start school, it’s easy to tell yourself they’re getting everything they need between 9am and 3pm. Especially when it comes to being active. My Brodie comes home, flops down on the couch and reaches for the remote control. Because he’s exhausted, right? Mentally perhaps. But not physically, it seems. A study published...
Sponsored video There’s a funny story my husband’s family tell about when he was three years old. It was a party – perhaps New Year’s Eve – and everyone was round at my in-laws’ home, enjoying a drink (or six). Nobody noticed little Master G, crawling around the floor, picking up everyone’s glasses and...
Inviting people into our homes sometimes takes more courage than we feel we possess. After all, our homes are our castles, aren’t they? And once we have little ones, they’re our pirate ships, our jungle, occasionally a new Moon and usually around teatime, a zoo. It’s a challenge managing the mess creativity. And when...
This is a tale of two sisters. Born 10 years apart and with very different lifestyles, they were nevertheless as close as sisters could be. The youngest was a city girl who worked in a bank, but loved motorbikes and rock music in her free time. The eldest married young and was a housewife...
