I feel like there's a lot of stuff swirling around in my head at the moment and I'm in the mood for writing some of it down... So here we are 😂 I'm feeling sooo emotional this week! It's the last week before I start my new teaching job eeeek! I'm very nervous about it; … Continue reading A Bit of a Natter – Back to Work, Instagram and a Crapload of Emotions

Has It Finally Got Easier?
Back when the twiglets were babies, whenever I met a mum with older twins, one of the main questions I'd end up asking was ‘when will it get easier?’ Always spoken with a slight undertone of crazed desperation, meaning ‘please tell me it gets f**king easier, please, PLEASE!'' 🤣 The other day, as I got … Continue reading Has It Finally Got Easier?
When You Can’t Protect Your Children From Other Influences
I remember vividly the first time the twiglets came home from nursery and started singing a song that I didn't know. They were about 19/20 months and hadn't been going there long - their speech was nothing like it is now, but they were clearly attempting to sing a song and I had no idea … Continue reading When You Can’t Protect Your Children From Other Influences
Can Being Twins Ever Hold Your Twins Back?
Yesterday I had a parents' evening-type meeting thingy (there's probably a better term for it than that 🤣) with Cora's keyworker at preschool (Henry's is in a few days time).

2018 – Getting some ‘me’ back
I've never been particularly hot on New Years Resolutions. Mainly because I find that the more set on achieving something I am, the more likely I am to rebel against myself so that I don't achieve it – queen of self-sabotage, me 🙈 For example, I'm not the type of person who can really go … Continue reading 2018 – Getting some ‘me’ back
Is it bad to need a break from your children sometimes?
So the other day I was reading a post on one of those Facebook parenting forums (jeez people don’t bite their tongues on those things do they?!) This particular one was written by a nursery worker who was bemoaning those ‘awful’ mums who choose to leave their children in a hellhole of snotty toddlers (aka … Continue reading Is it bad to need a break from your children sometimes?
