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.

All my glorious triumphs in motherhood and some minor hiccups…

So many things, but mostly love

May 9, 2013 by bibsey mama 13 Comments

Oh so many things that I want to write about. I am a little mess of emotions. But I probably won’t write about them because, because, because… Love. Love is one of the things that has been high on my mind. As I lie next to my Bibble Bot, if and when I am called … [Read more…]

Unbreakable

April 24, 2013 by bibsey mama 15 Comments

Paint it black… or red or yellow or green or blue

April 18, 2013 by bibsey mama 14 Comments

P is for Paint. Painting. Painter. Painting it however you like. I am not great on the arts and crafts front with Bibsey. She always gets to do lots of stuff like that with the childminder and I don’t like the extra mess you see. There is only so much room for mess in this … [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…]

Great Expectations

April 8, 2013 by bibsey mama 14 Comments

G is for Great Expectations. Hmm. Anyone who knows me of old will be aware that I have made great strides in the cooking department. However, those same people might also raise an eyebrow at the thought of me catering for about 20+ people. Expectations of my culinary efforts in the past have been modest. … [Read more…]
