‘It is a virus.’ There is nothing to be done for a winter virus of snot and slime and coughing and misery. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want them to need antibiotics and most of us know it is not good for them to be on antibiotics repeatedly, but damn there is something that feels good about doing something.

The words every mother hates
‘It is a virus.’ There is nothing to be done for a winter virus of snot and slime and coughing and misery. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want them to need antibiotics and most of us know it is not good for them to be on antibiotics repeatedly, but damn there is something that feels good about doing something.
A virus makes you... Step parenting is hard
Well parenting is hard, but as a step patent you always have that extra anxiety.
Rachel made this card for Yme.She loves Hama beads but this was the first time that she finished the lion all by herself. I love the fairies that she added all around the picture of Yme. She asked me how to spell the words but deciding what to say was all her own decision. I... This too will pass
I think those few words have to be the motto of almost every mother. Often no doubt said through gritted teeth as we battle the latest parenting challenge. This post is written Titus moaning in arms, we have spent the last hour trying to read to the older kids. We have given up, they are watching TV. He has cried, fussed, moaned, burped, wee’ed,... Pick your battles
This is something that I have used with the kids and have to tell myself over and over but it applies to relationships too.
I am The Amber Necklace Lady. After all they are one of Earth Babies top seller. Clients often ask me if they work and I am honest about my experience. We never had them when I had Rachel and she had no problem teething. Caleb had... Homosexuality, School and Obedience
Do you ever land up thinking something and wonder how on earth you got onto that train of thought? Today was one of those days. I heard a news bulletin about a columnist, now foreign representative, calling homosexual people dogs and pigs. I thought why we always equate insulting someone with likening them to animals? Animal in most cases behave a hell of a...
Please tell me I am not alone
in my moment of feeling like the worst parent on earth.
We brush teeth like everyone else but I am not been able to afford to take the kids for the 6 month checkups that they are supposed to have, if I am honest it has been a while since they have been to the dentist. But the week of Christmas Rachel complained of one molar being sore when it was brushed,...
Gender
I have a dare devil daughter and a cautious son, they do not fit the normal gender roles. Yet in some ways they are so typically a girly girl and a transport crazy boy. I stumbled across this from a twitter link, it originally came from here Sometimes we need to remember to treat people like individuals and not box them because they are one or the other... Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
Okay this one is easy. I see no reason why anyone can not marry whoever the hell they like. Heck straight people mess up the institution of marriage plenty so I can’t see why we should have a monopoly on it. I am not religious and so for me people should be able to show and celebrate their love in anyway they like.
I do not even mind if my kids turn...
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
I have read a lot of book but most are fiction so although they have touched me deeply they don’t really change your view. Well they have enriched my life, added to my vocabulary and motivated me to read more, so I guess in a way they have changed me.
I have read a lot of books about parenting and I guess the stuff on Attachment Parenting and Natural...
