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.

Body

Hairy like the wolf

January 29, 2013 by bibsey mama 16 Comments

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.

Pins and needles

November 9, 2012 by bibsey mama 19 Comments

Soooo, the elbow thing turned out to be a little more serious than first thought… the thing was in fact broken. And of course it is my right arm. Since we last spoke I have been over night in hospital and under the knife of a rather nice surgeon who put my arm back together … [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…]

Ever decreasing circles of glamour

October 26, 2012 by bibsey mama 7 Comments

I won’t lie to you. Life has been less than glamorous of late. On my recent visit to the UK I found myself alone and in the Tesco coffee shop actually undoing my top button and zip before embarking on an enormous scone with clotted cream and jam. The scone wasn’t even that great, but … [Read more…]
