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.

Jurassic Park

April 11, 2013 by bibsey mama 17 Comments

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.

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…]

The Big Easy?

April 5, 2013 by bibsey mama 23 Comments

E is for easy. Because we live in southern Spain, where the sun is said to shine 333 days of the year (not so this year, but please don’t worry about me), the beach is close, we can eat tapas every day if we want, and we are constantly wafting about smelling of suntan cream, … [Read more…]

Once were dinosaurs

April 4, 2013 by bibsey mama 18 Comments

I don’t want to cause any alarm, but I feel I should report that I am living with dinosaur. And not just any dinosaur. This is the king of dinosaurs. Yes, I am living with T-Rex. I speak of course not of Mr B but of Bibsey. A while back Bibsey went through a phase … [Read more…]

You know you’re a daddy when…

March 15, 2013 by bibsey mama 8 Comments

I won’t lie to you. This post was not written by Mr B, but if it were it might go a little something like this (or not, who knows)… You know you’re a Daddy when: 1. There is only “bobbins” on the CD multi-changer in the car. Bobbins and Barbara Streisand. In that f*cking order. … [Read more…]
