I truly believe that the internet is big enough for all of us parenting bloggers – the big, the small, the old, the new, the niche, the rambling, the beautiful and the truthful.
It does seem though, that there are a number of post titles (with familiar looking stock photos to boot) that crop up over and over (and over) again. Don’t get me wrong – I’m as guilty as the next person of churning these posts out. In fact, maybe this post is one of those posts in itself…but if we can’t laugh at ourselves, what can we laugh at eh? more “The cliche blog posts you just can’t help but write…”
Needless to say, I am not a historian. But, I am a massive old romantic, and every now and again a story, an anecdote, a tale of old will resonate with me in a special and I just know that I will always carry it with me. So, please bear with me as I recount this story and forgive me any inaccuracies. more “The Ernest Shackleton guide to Parenting”
2017 – so much to look forward to..and then, there’s the small issue of potty training. Needless to say that didn’t make it onto my ‘excited about’ list this January. It’s okay though, I reckon we have a while to remain in denial. I know after last time I’ll definitely be waiting until we’re sure the timing’s right, and that I’m prepared in every sense of the word.
Thankfully, Potty HQ got in touch to offer us all some much needed advice…and I need all the help I can get.

As I start this post, the one that’s probably always been inside me, I wonder if I’ll ever finish it, do it justice, or more still, publish it.
Since we started our rocky road of becoming parents we have experienced the relatively normal ‘highs and lows’ we all love to banter about – the sleepless nights, the messy business of weaning, the terrible twos, the threenagers and even struggling with parenthood altogether. But there will always be one all time low that even I can’t bring myself to bat around with any comedy twist, and that is losing our second baby at 23 weeks. more “Losing our baby at twenty three weeks”
As parents we are pretty hot off the mark at pulling the kids up on telling porkie pies. In fact, all it take is a ‘ooh your nose is growing” comment to get them regurgitating the truth quicker than you can say Jiminy Cricket.
But can YOU honestly say you only speak the truth…? and does the odd little white lie really hurt anybody…

It’s been creeping up on me for a while now. Recognising certain mannerisms in myself which are all too familiar, especially as I go through the motions of everyday tasks. A strange sensation, almost like Déjà vu – that you are acting out something which has already happened before. more “Turning into my Mum”
So here we are…the first #coolmumclub linky of 2017. The fifty second edition since launch. The third year in which we have spread a little #coolmumclub love into your lives since we began waaay back in 2015. Mad.
Looks as though you all had pretty epic Chrimbos – as we have of course been keeping a beady eye on all you die hard #coolmumclubbers over on Instagram. Still loving the hashtag, and we appreciate every single one of your copy and pasted tags of coolness. I hope you caught the December highlights amidst all the Christmas chaos!

I get that not everyone digs the whole new year resolutions thing. I mean, after all aren’t they statistically doomed for failure? I’m all for a bit of goal setting though – what harm can come from reflecting on where you’ve been, and reset your markers for where you want to go. more “TWENTYSEVENTEEN”
