Am I petty or is she crazy? 🤓🤓🤓🤓😂😂😂😂

I didn’t tell a lot of my family that I was taking 8 on this little trip around Southern Africa… CBA for any negative comments. I just posted a pic of kiddo by a giraffe to the family group chat and my big sister was NOT HAPPY. She started up in my D...

Too cold to sleep 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

I can’t find where I put my sweater…. It’s too difficult to look for it quietly and in the dark so I don’t wake up my little roommate 😰😰😰😰😰

Makeup or no makeup?

This is who my little fairy tried to go play with last night...

😨😨😨😨😨😨 The 46lb little girl versus this 2000+lb beast and the other Hungry Hungry Hippos. We could hear them making a LOT of noise walking around outside and she was bouncing around begging to go see them up until one of them growled. She got right...

Risk it with the hippos? No thank you 😨😨😨😨😨

I just got 8 to sleep in our tent… we are on the banks of the Zambezi tonight. We were warned that hippos are likely to venture out of the water at night and we might hear them walking around outside the tents. 8 shrieked in excitement…. “Mummy! We...

Anyone been to Namibia?

The language of play ❤️

We got off safari today and my little kiddo had her first real experience with children that don’t look like her, don’t speak the same language, and come from a totally different place. The kids from one of the villages nearby spotted her earlier on ...

She’s getting more English

“Mummy, please may we get a Wagas for tea before we get on the aeroplane?” 😂😂😂😂😂

Tonight we are sleeping on a plane ✈️

En route to the airport for an 11hr flight with kiddo. Booked an overnight one in the hope she will sleep easily. She’s become a long haul pro in the last 6 months, so we should be great 🤞

Toy Story for real?

My little girl is doing some ‘investigating’ today. She wants to try to catch her toys coming to life when she isn’t in the room. This kid treats all her things so nicely and is convinced they are alive 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗, playing when she’s asleep, at school… yo...

Important question about Mash 🥔

I’m at my grandma’s for dinner and she’s making bangers & mash. I just noticed she leaves the skin on the potatoes. Normal UK thing? 😂 I can’t say I’ve had them that way before. She says they are more rustic, so we’ll see what that means exact...

Whatever happened to no means no 😭😭😭😭

I think a disobedient phase has started 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 Kiddo asked to go to the beach this evening. I said no because we have a lot of things to do and I know a beach trip is never under an hour. I don’t have an hour to spare 😅😅😅😐😐😐😐 She didn’t argue an...

Do you prefer more simplistic interior design, or something bright and bold? I’m a bit of both. Sometimes I LOVE simplicity and think I would prefer it. I’d also love my house to be super colourful and fun, but I don’t want it to be too much. I’m th...

Do all kids just mindlessly run across the road? 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

On our walk to school this morning 8 saw her little friend across the road and before I could register it, she sprinted across the road to give her a hug, narrowly missing a car going by 😖😳😳😳😳 That was pretty much the first time I have almost yelled ...

How many pairs of overalls is too many? 😏😏😏😏

I’m about to buy my 8th pair. I’m slightly obsessed 😍😍😍😍😍

Do I tell her I know? 😂😂😂

When you say it’s bedtime at the end of the episode… I thought it seemed like the longest episode EVER. Only to find out I’ve been outsmarted by an 8 year old. She fast forwards the outro and intro music so that I don’t hear it, and 3 episodes late...

Forgot how much I love candids ❤️🌅👩‍👧📸

I rarely get candid photos of me with my kiddo, because there’s just no one to take them. But out of the blue, my friend just sent me a load of photos she took at the beach last week and I am in LOVE 💛😍💛 They are so special 🥰🥰🥰🥰...

Deciding what to make for dinner 🥦🌮🥟🍜

Why is it so difficult? 😐😐😐😐😐 SO many things I want to eat, can’t be bothered to make any of them 😂😂😂😂

Father’s Day without a dad…

Any special tips for getting a kid (8) through Father’s Day without a dad? My kiddo has been a little sad this week because they’ve been making cards at school for dads and she hasn’t got one. I’m worried about how she’ll be tomorrow and I’m expecti...

A child’s logic…

We got a new car today and kiddo has been trying to convince me that she doesn’t need a carseat. She’s still small enough that she’s in a 5-point harness seat, but she’s decided she wants to be in just a booster or no seat at all 😅 😅😅 I explained t...

New job on a whim?

I went for a job interview today. I work for myself and enjoy it, so I don’t actually need a new job. I just saw a job advert and was interested, so decided to go and see what they were all about. Because I hadn’t psyched myself up about it, it was...

The thoughts that keep her up at night…💭💭

8: “Why isn’t this country called the UQ?” This came out of nowhere a few seconds after I heard some faint little footsteps coming out of my bedroom and toward the stairs… I quickly paused the TV, waiting to see what had prompted kiddo to get out o...

My water baby 💙

These evenings can’t be beaten ❤️ My little one out enjoying the last of the sun on her SUP 🌅, after asking for 5 more minutes (which turned into 15!)… of course! :) :) When she came back in she told me it was very peaceful and she wishes we could...

Just a vent 🌪

My older sister thinks it’s wrong for me to have moved our youngest sister to the UK when she has no roots or relatives here, and that she would be better off in the US. More than once she has offered to have 8 go live with her back home so she can r...

Did you have a good childhood?

What made it good/bad?
