geek parenting done right
Before we get into it, I just want to say I love this prompt so much. Thanks so much Kirsty! I had so much fun revisiting some old buddies. My whole life books have been my everything. As a child, the characters in books were my friends, they took me on adventures and taught me things […]
I’m running a bit behind this week because I struggled with this prompt. Oh how I wrestled with it. Anyway, on with the show. Recently someone said to me that if I was going to continue being a working mum I would have to focus 100% on the office, because otherwise my split focus would […]
After last week’s rant about nasty comments, let’s move on to something more positive. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Our village consists of my mummy group, our amazing pediatrician and lovely GP as well as our other friends and family. Whenever I need help I can rely on someone to know […]
I’ve never really gotten the concept of making another person feel guilty for their choices. It sounds a little hippy-dippy but unless someone’s choice was actually affecting other humans I just kind of meh-d and moved on with my life. I assumed that being a parent would be similar, everyone raises their own kids their […]
What does being an ambivert mean? Basically everytime I take a personality test for work or for fun, I tend to have an even split between introversion and extroversion. Oh while we are on the subject of personality tests, here’s a great free Myers Briggs one here. Okay and we’re back. Like most things in […]
I hate to say a handbag changed my life – but wel, you get the picture. I rock two ThinkGeek HandBags of Holding – the black leather version is my work bag, and the regular taupe one is my ‘mummy’ handbag. I was going to take photos of everything as a flat lay but Bear […]
Never Have I Ever is a drinking game that I’ve never actually played. I couldn’t really commit to one answer so , again with the lists – it’s so hard to nail myself down to one point when I can write Buzzfeed-y lists that let everyone get to know me far too well. 1. Seen […]
I love pop culture. I am an avid consumer of books, movies, TV shows. It’s hard to binge watch shows on a sick day when you have to go through the rigmarole of downloading them illegally first. And then Netflix and Stan came. They changed my life seriously. At least my sick day life anyway. No more […]
how sad is that? I look at myself and honestly can’t pick it out any strengths let alone my greatest one. I firmly believe that our greatest strengths can also be our greatest weakness and when I look at my own character, the flaws stick out more than the virtues. Given enough thought I’m fairly […]
We all have these don’t we? Things where we think ‘god you’re an adult get your act together’ and then just go ahead and do it regardless. I feel like the person who described this best was Allie Brosh from Hyerbole and a Half. Go ahead, click the link, it’s worth it. I’ll wait. Okay, […]
