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.

Toilet humour failure

April 23, 2013 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

***We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this very important rant about the toilet seat*** Yes, T is for toilet humour. Or rather toilet humour failure.

Quando, quando, quando, quando

April 19, 2013 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

Q is for Quando. When? As in when will this alphablogging end? This is a bit of a cheat because en Español it is cuando. But I rather suspect that any of you out there still reading, willing me, wanting me, to just f*cking finish already, are not going to pick nits over something so … [Read more…]

Nunca digas nunca jamás

April 16, 2013 by bibsey mama 7 Comments

N is for Nunca. Nunca digas nunca jamás. Never say never ever (lit.) or Never Say Never Again, Mr Bond. I am the kind of girl who does not like to say never, ever. If you would ask me if I would ever go back to England to live my answer would probably be nunca … [Read more…]

Were you wondering how long I could go without mentioning my broken arm? Wonder no more. What follows is the next riveting episode in El Drama del Brazo. I may have mentioned before that I am neither blessed nor cursed in the body hair department. All other body issues aside, I am not, for example, … [Read more…]

How can I love you more… farty pants?

November 2, 2012 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

It seems to me that there comes a time in the life cycle of a mummy blog when one must write the fart post. Why is that? A need to over-share maybe. Having laid yourself almost entirely bare – on subjects ranging from childbirth to constipation – where left is there to go? Actually, I … [Read more…]
