Is there a glamorous side to parenting? Image

SO after the last post mummy sat me down to point out that there actually isn't a glamorous side to parenting....well, except the glossy pictures we take just before me or baby Judah mess up our clothes. mummy went on to tell me a few things that will never make it onto a magazine cover but are actually

the unglamorous side of motherhood... Image

just when mummy thought motherhood couldn't get anymore gross and humbling, i pushed her to the edge with two words:POTTY TRAINING.mummy is one of those people who hates all toilet related activities. she will happily clean the house top to toe, iron and cook all year round as long as the bathroom cleaning duties can be done by

so, you're probably wondering where we've been....no, we haven't been on a fantastic trip to dubai - that was my friend hannah. Nor are we on a weeks break in the Lake District surrounded by beautiful nature with the gentle rush of the streams providing a serene soundtrack. no, that would be another little friend of mine whose name

so, i had a small "big chop" around November last year. I say small as really there wasn't much there to chop off. mummy says my hair was happily growing on the sides only and threatening to make me look like wolverine. not on her watch. she chopped those flyaway hairs and began to anticipate the sudden onslaught

soooo....we are looking to move to a house. mum is extremely excited about this prospect - i'm not sure why as it seems a house is bigger than this flat which she moans about cleaning. anyway, this prospective house move caused my parents to step up their school selection for me as this is a big factor in

so...it looks like little judah and i have a lot of updating to do. you would not believe all the dumb things our mummy has managed to do in the last few weeks. she blames it on "baby brain", a condition she says is induced by pregnancy and motherhood. she says it needs to be officially recognised and

so the last few weeks have been interesting...hence the general silence. i love this blog, and all it embodies. i started this blog just after my baby morayo-hope was born: partly to silence the voice in my head that had a running commentary going and partly for another reason....a pretty big reason. you see my biological mum died

that's the year little Judah will be 18. how do i know? well...last week opened with an upbeat mummy, happily considering dad's proposal to one day have another baby. she had been stalking jools oliver (wife to jamie oliver) on instagram. the sight of their 4 happy kids generally enjoying life together was definitely making mummy think this

yep - thats mummy's favourite new phrase. and aunty tinashe's. they've been running around like twin parrots finding any and every excuse to throw that into a sentence. e.g mum: "hmm...tinashe, how short are those shorts you are wearing?" aunty t: "it is what it is, haters gon' hate" ***both burst out laughing*** aunty t: "sha tana, you

so mummy has been driving us all nuts this week. how you may wonder.....well, last week she was fortunate enough to capture me on her iphone camera excitedly kissing and talking to my little brother. now she wont let anyone rest! she plays the video over and over and over and giggles to herself. now she wants to

mummy's wardrobe is currently centred around 2 factors: breastfeeding friendly & easy to wear. she therefore has a lot of jumpsuits, maxi's, button up / loose shirts and shorts/trousers. oh yes - and flat shoes! much as she bought 101 pairs of heels during her pregnancy, she seemed to have forgotten that it was going to be harder
