6 months this clock has been dead. 6 months, I have been checking a dead clock for the time. Today I put a new battery in it. And now my clock is going backwards. Have I discovered time travel? Let me know in the comments!
Questions I Ask Myself As A Parent
How many pushes did it take to get them all out (collectively)? How many pairs of hands have I had up my Hoo-Harr? How many gallons of breastmilk have I ever made? How many nappies have I changed? How many times have I heard “mummy”, “I need you” or “wipe my bum!”? How many times …
WTF Facebook Adverts
Ahhh, Facebook. You’ll casually be scrolling down; You BFF’s kids, funny cat videos and the occasional rude gif.

I’ve had 3 calls today alone from very concerned people. All were wanting to speak to me about car accidents that I had been in, that were not my fault. Awful, awful accidents. Just terrible. Each caller were desperate to help me, and I am assuming, trying to put cash into my (rather empty) bank …

Being a mum, as you probably know, is tough.

Ways To Reuse Your Old Christmas Decorations- and even your tree!
As Christmas draws to an end and the decorations get taken down, the reality of how much stuff we gathered over the festive period hits home.

UK Blog Awards Public Voting
IT’S HERE!!!! The UK Blog Awards have landed and it’s time for you to vote… for me obvs. I never normally do award ceremonies. In all honesty, I get the odd nomination then it never comes to any more than just that. But, for some weird reason this year I have gotten through to the …
Heinz #CanSong Advert Banned
Occasionally something pretty epic gets banned. One past Easter I covered the news story that an Aldi advert was banned, and now it seems that Heinz have fallen short to the Watchdog ruling finger. Fingers that won’t be tapping out the catchy Heinz beans tap tap tap song. Apparently, the can song is dangerous. OK, I get …

#BLOGTOBER16 DAY 14: The Meaning Behind My Blog Name
Oh dear. Another question where I give you a crappy answer. Well… I married a Newhouse man, so I became a Newhouse. We had tiny Newhouse babies. And we are a family. *Holds down head in shame for not having a crazy, witty, eye catching, ear tantalising epic blog name* I’ll be back tomorrow with …
#BLOGTOBER DAY 13: Whats In My Fridge?
Quiet honestly, nothing much. Not because we are poor and we can’t afford food but we just don’t really use it that often. When we decided to become a much more self sufficient family, we got rid of quite a few things. The microwave went as it just wasn’t being used. We gave away our …
#BLOGTOBER DAY 12: Whats In My Handbag?
I recently had a clear out of my handbag because I managed to buy a new one. When I say ‘new’ I mean old. It’s a 1970’s Nova handbag picked up at a vintage fair for… *drumroll*… 50p. Awesome! I know 😉 The current contents of my bag are as follows: My purse 2 pens …
