Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

Glamp Lamp
Looks gorgeous, right? Butter wouldn’t melt? Wrong. She has just handed me the biggest bogie ever to have graced this house, wearing exactly this expression. Stay alert, people. And beware 5 year olds bearing gifts.

Zis is Zee End

April 30, 2013 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

Zis is Zee End. And I won’t lie to you, it is a bit of  a relief. In case you are new around these parts, I should explain that I have been blogging from AtoZ every day in April with Sunday’s off, unless I got behind in which case Sunday was my catch-up day. Much … [Read more…]

You don’t bring me flowers

April 29, 2013 by bibsey mama 9 Comments

Oh, we are so close to the end of the alphabet that I can almost taste it. I am having a Hannibal Lecter moment, yes I am. Anyone fancy coming over for dinner? No? So anyway, in at no. 25 is You don’t bring me flowers, Babs and The Diamond. Great hair all round wouldn’t you … [Read more…]

Xanadu

April 28, 2013 by bibsey mama 9 Comments

X is for Xanadu. Not the best film ever made. My mum took me and my friend Lydia (who had these fantastic white cowboy boots with rhinestones on, of which I was terribly envious) to see it at the cinema when it came out. Even at that age I knew it was rubbish. Yes, I … [Read more…]

Working Girl

April 27, 2013 by bibsey mama 14 Comments

OK, so I am a day late with W. Who can honestly say that they had noticed? Who can honestly say that they cared? Except perhaps my partner in alphabetical crime: the funny and clever Lady Lemons (not what she calls herself btw) over at Losing My Lemons. I love her. Although it was I … [Read more…]

Valerie

April 25, 2013 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

V is for Valerie. There’s going to be no mucking about today. I have actually been booked to do some paid work tomorrow, so I need to focus on that. Quite thrilling really, but I am a little nervous, as I always am with a new client, so I just need to quietly get prepared. … [Read more…]
