Big Daddy!

At the risk of attracting all the wrong kind of google searches to my blog, and inflating the Baldy Boy’s ego beyond repair (he doesn’t read this anyway) I feel the need to share this snippet of conversation from the other day.
Izzy (watching me change Muski’s nappy) - “Mamma…..”
Me - “yes?”
Izzy - “Muski has a […]

Following a Blog Trail

I confess to being totally madly and utterly blog addicted. There is so much good stuff out there on blogs, and so little time to find it all. There is simply no better way to spend an afternoon when the big kids are ith the Baldy Boy and the little kid is asleep than to […]

Follow-up

I am just popping in quickly to say a big thank you to everyone who commented and emailed and offered to go in search of size nine heart shoes! You are all so lovely!!
I have put my Mum on the case - she always has better luck with these things, so I am hopeful […]

The Trouble with Double.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard the phrase ‘double trouble’ while out shopping with the Twinadoes. Then I’d be able to afford to buy the girls new shoes every month, that is if I could find two pairs in the same damn size! It is not my girls that […]

Really Wordless Wednesday

After yesterdays post about menu planning and cooking I have a confession to make. I am such a fraud, making out that I am so great in the kitchen, planning and baking and all that. This morning the harsh reality of me and cooking really set in.

What Should I do with this?

Thinking of starting a new section here at Ye Olde Picklebume Blogge (oops sorry slipped into some weird kind of old English language there for a moment). A “what should I do with this?” section with regular posts looking for wisdom from the wider blogging world. It seems I often have moments when I think […]

Grateful Friday into the Future?

Here we are at another ‘Grateful Friday’ and I am contemplating the future of them.
I’ve really enjoyed to push to focus on the good things each week, but I have to admit that I feel a bit ‘constrained’ having to make my post each Friday something I am grateful for. I am not big […]

Seuss-love

We are HUGE Dr Seuss fans in this house. We own and love about 25 Seuss books and still have more we’d like to collect!
Did you know that Dr Seuss’s full name is Theodor Seuss Geisel and that he wrote under the name Theo LeSieg - ‘LeSieg’ being his last name Geisel spelt backwards! He […]
