So there we were this yukky rainy morning, wrapped up in my favorite Ralph Lauren duvet, having the kind of bleary eyed, just woke up don’t harass me yet, cosy snuggle it is only possible to have with a sleepy, wriggly three year old, telling each other hobgoblin stories and praying the rain would go off so we wouldn’t have to splash our way to nursery, when the little monster shattered my ego forever…
"I love you Mummy"
"Oh Sweetie, I love you too"
"Know why I love you Mummy?"
"Because I make scrumptious pizza babba?"
"No Mummy, your pizza is ridic-il-lious."
"Oh I’m sorry.Then why Finn?"
"Cos your boobies is like potatoes Mummy."

A flirty dirty kinda housewife in a fluted apron with a heart shaped neckline? A pretty Cath Kidston floral apron lady? A smock wearing artist? While the housewives smock…
Remember this? The day I stripped up the bathroom carpet that caused much consternation amongst the good vintage Housekeepers of the interweb? “Don’t be so lazy and so pampering” was the appalled comment of one fine lady, and for at least a few moments I was rather tempted to appoint her my life-coach and see…

"Where does your home end and you begin? You don’t have to literally answer that. It’s one of those rhetorical questions. We believe a home is more than just a box: it’s a sort of second skin. It could be a third skin if you’re counting clothes. Anyway, you wouldn’t spray your…
What can I tell you about this week? That I have taken up making a nuisance of my self? That I turn up on peoples doorstep and kind of park myself on their sofa in the hope that they will drip feed me tea and regale me with life affirming tales of good times and…
Brrrrrrr. I don’t know about you, but the minute the temperature drops I start finding mornings absolutely impossible. In a teeny little Victorian cottage like this one, with the worst insulation in the world, mornings can be the most dreadful of challenges. These then are a collection of tips and tricks to make falling out…
What is is with boys and boobies?? When my boy was about 3 he asked my nana "why are your boobies on your tummy?" She did see the funny side thankfully, and I think at age 78 we can allow her less than perky C-cups!

Ah bless him. My son thinks there's still a baby in my tummy and the baby is 8 months old! They mean well don't they. While I'm here… I found the most scrumptious thing today. Rose flavoured milkshake! It's absolutely delicious and so Brocante Home. I found it in the Indian food section in Tescos. Pour it into a pretty glass and drink ice cold, yummy!

a friend of mine was sitting on the couch with her 3 yr old boy one day when he grabbed the bit of tummy that had rolled out from under her top and informed the room that 'mummy has grown some more boobs!' – better potatoes than extra boobs!

Boy did I get a good laugh! I remember my mom had told me about a story she heard. There was two old ladies in a beauty shop. In comes a 16 year old girl with 2 roses tatooed on her breasts. The elderly women kept on staring at them and finally one of the women told her "In about 30 years, your rose tatooes are going to look like long stem roses"!

Oh dear, poor you. Children say the funniest things don't they!
I love hearing the funny things that Finley says–he's such a riot. Children do have a way with words that can be demoralizing at times.
