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.

In praise of Xanthippe

April 27, 2012 by bibsey mama 15 Comments

X is for Xanthippe. In dim distant early April when I started the A-Z Challenge, I mentioned that I would write about xylophones when I got to the letter X. I tried, but I just can’t do it. I was boring even MYSELF. No offence to percussionists out there but I am just not qualified … [Read more…]

Uh-oh, I am undone!

April 24, 2012 by bibsey mama 23 Comments

  U is for Uh-oh! I made pact (not exactly Faustian, but pretty devilish all the same) with the blogging fairies to post every day in April (‘cept Sundays) to the letters of the alphabet.

Seven

April 21, 2012 by bibsey mama 13 Comments

S is for Seven. A favourite number. My birthday also. This is my lazy-arse Saturday entry for the letter S. Nothing clever, nothing witty, nothing smart. Just me, the dictionary and seven words that just happen to begin with S. Oh, and they are Spanish words. Makes sense on this blog right? 1. Sábado: Saturday of … [Read more…]

Bibsey’s rider

April 20, 2012 by bibsey mama 16 Comments

R is for rider. Bibsey’s rock and roll rider. And before I say another word I must immediately give credit for this blog post to Jess Topper of I’ll Blog When I’m Dead. Jess is an ex-librarian turned rock n’ roll number cruncher, a blogger, and a mother, who is also currently cracking on through the alphabet … [Read more…]

Odd socks

April 17, 2012 by bibsey mama 10 Comments

O is for odd socks. Here’s one for the anals of category Apropos of Absolutely Nada. It is very much apparent within these pages that I am no domestic goddess. You don’t have to look far to find me struggling with domesticity, cutting corners with baby wipes and generally peeing on the laminate. There is … [Read more…]
