It’s a baby girl

July 24, 2016 by Louise 14 Comments

I didn’t know I wanted a baby girl until I got one. As mother to two boys, everyone was obsessed with me having a girl while I was pregnant with BM. Throughout the nine months, I didn’t really think about it either way. Her arrival into our lives however, changed everything. Most of all she … [Read more…]

Today in the Monkey House: it’s too hot for this…

July 19, 2016 by Louise 2 Comments

It’s day 5 of the summer holidays and it is HOT. Although I am grateful for warm weather, it beats rainy days and soft play hands down, it causes additional monkey stresses. Because they just can’t handle the heat. My house looked as though it was recently burgled Today the monkeys have played with play doh … [Read more…]

This post was first published in March 2016. In honour of my attempts to get TM cooking I am republishing an updated version today. On Friday, TM and MM helped me make a chicken risotto. It was yummy. Unfortunately, MM had to be removed half way through cooking after hitting TM with the wooden spoon … [Read more…]

A CRUK, Slimming World Parkrun

Local Slimming World groups in association with Cancer Research UK came out in force to take part. A fundraising event for the additional runners or walkers, arranged alongside the local Parkrun volunteers. A … [Read more…]

It’s simple, like riding the bus

July 14, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today is Middle Monkey’s last day in nursery and our last afternoon together. In September he starts big school. Obviously we will still get time together but not like this. We don’t do much worth shouting about. Always beans on toast for lunch, a trip out or cuddled up on the sofa watching TV, or … [Read more…]

Lessons from the stories we tell our Monkeys

July 12, 2016 by Louise 2 Comments

Have you noticed that the world is in a bit of a muddle at the minute? From the craziness in the Monkey House to the madness at the top of politics, we are all looking for answers, guidance and a way forward. Instead of looking to the media, politicians or experts, the answer could be … [Read more…]

Some new teeth for BM the fast approaching summer holidays, my imminent return to work, I’ve got a lot on my mind.

Surviving the summer holidays

July 9, 2016 by Louise 1 Comment

The schools are just about to break up for the long summer holidays. In my case 7 whole weeks. All that time to fill with activities. Fights to referee and monkeys to juggle. Excited by the lack of daily school run but apprehensive about the sheer volume of pressure to meet a million and one … [Read more…]

Little Mummy Resting

July 5, 2016 by Louise Leave a Comment

I know I said in yesterday’s post (My Summer Runner’s World Run Streak) that I would carry on running. But today I am resting. I have chosen to listen to my body. My legs are fatigued and my brain is a bit tired. Today the runner’s high was just not worth chasing, because sometimes you … [Read more…]
