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.

The Perfect Slice

November 27, 2013 by bibsey mama 2 Comments

Jurassic Park

J is for Jurassic Park. Yes, yes, I know I am relying very heavily on the old dino-theme for my travels through the alphabet, but if you could see my house you would understand why. It is like Jurassic Park around here. There are more dinosaurs than you could shake a fairy wand at. Also … [Read more…]

Happiness is a Warm Hug

April 9, 2013 by bibsey mama 26 Comments

H is for Happiness. And I make no apology for the fact that H was for Happiness on this day last year. Bibsey sometimes comes to find me in the kitchen, where I will be slaving away over my laptop and stove, just for a hug. I won’ t lie to you. This makes me … [Read more…]
