Very Small Feet

My almost 3 year old has a terrible milk habit. When i hear other parents saying how they had a bad night their kid woke up once I want to cry and tell them they don't know how lucky they are! Truly!  For last three years I can count on one hand how many times Egg slept throw the night. It was 3 times. Three glorous nights...  So every time he would grouch in the night we would give him a bottle with milk. Yes we are bad. And he still has bottles. Yes yes I know. So after having a nice chat with Health Visitor last week, she said he needs a uninterrupted sleep, and so do we. It is linked to their development and you know... it's a sleep!!  Basically we had to suck it up and not give him milk. And guess what two difficult nights and now he pretty much sleeps throw until he wakes up.  (Here is my tiny terror with his new love Welsh cake) Win!  But last few days he was up at 4am and 4.30am and refused to go back to sleep... and he gets naked... with all the wet con...

Few days ago I finally got to play with this blog on laptop rather then iPad or a phone...  and it made me wonder why do I keep doing it and why don't I have a proper little theme to it... you know these blogs that only have one purpose and one subject to it...    I suppose it is always been my trouble. I am just into many many things.  Making, running, shopping, cooking, eating, drinking, cinema, reading... but now I look at this list and really don't think I do this much of any of this. Now I am mainly mumming.  But surly it is not a bad thing to have many little passions and interests...  Well the Mininmalists (I mentioned them in previous post here) would say that you need to pick one passion and cultivate it for a bit then get another one...  I don't know if I can do it. Ever.  Especially since becoming a mama... a stay at home for now mama. (I understand that not everyone can become parents or be stay at home ones.... but sometimes I feel l...

So new doctor who is Jodie Whittaker and the internet went mad... a woman doctor what?! I enjoyed the new Doctor and the Christmas specials and all the fun and sometimes scary and unexpected twists and turns. And frankly I didn't think much about who is going to be a new doctor. Until I was listening to Scummy Mummies podcast and when Helen Thorn's daughter said wouldn't it be nice if next doctor would be a girl... like a little light bulb went off in my head, yeah really why can't it be a woman.   12th doctor was so much fun, thank you Peter Capaldi ! And the new companion Pearl Mackie 's character Bill was gay. Honestly the episode with Romans and discussion about sexuality made me chuckle and it was just so as a matter to fact! Also very sad to see her leave the show. I loved Bill... The show is about kindness, bravery and love. Doctor is always trying to help everyone!  But all this not only just a great show it also shows kids that it's all...

I love summer time festivals in Cardiff. Used to look forward when tourist information office would dropped off the booklets for summer festivals in the city. And my favourite by far is the food festivals in the bay. Last year we were really lucky to go on he day when Welsh football team were coming home. Town was super busy and t was nice a peaceful in the bay. So baring this in mind I have decided to pick up my mother in law and the child and we went down on Friday afternoon.  But the child decided not to nap.. I hate when he refuses to nap. He was tired and grumpy... and very loud in his complaint about the situation he had created him self...  We couldn't stay at any stalls for too long, or one of us would nose around while the other would push the pram around.  We gave in in the end. He was happy running about and jumping off things but then wanted to be carried around. Damn this child is thin but sooo heavy!  Pretty much only time he was happy was when he mount...

Mama's life is hard and it's very hard to find quiet time. I miss just sitting down and maybe crafting or just chilling, or having friends over or just a bath...  Now with Big Guy all these things need to planning ahead. Yes I have to plan time in the bath. It's this intense. But I do get some quiet time every so often, when Edgar naps... I listen to podcast. Yes my regular favourites like Kermode and Mayo, No Such Thing as the Fish, Answer me this and Scummy Mummies.  But I have discovered the new ones recently and I want you to have a have a listen to... so here it goes. The Guity Feminist  They explore out noble goals in achieving equality for all while being super funny and yet super unsightful. This week they were talking about raising feminist boys which is a topic close to my heart. And if only I could get my hubby to give a go too...  Then the creator of GF created Global Pillage. I always laught out loud to the silliness and enginiousnes of the comedians at ...

I am blessed or cursed with oily skin.  Generally speaking it is good and has lots of collagen which means sings of ages are not as visible and will be delayed in general but this also means that I often have a shiny face and prone to blemishes and such....  So with that in mind I wanted to change my regular Boots botanicals cleanser for something less oily. But I wanted to continue that hot cloth routine and I don't want to spend a lot of money. So I got this from Superdrug under £5 And here is my big shiny and tanned face.  The cleanser has a nice texture and spreads lovely on. Washes off easily living the skin feeling clean. But for the first week I was using it I had to apply moisturiser pretty much straight after my skin felt dry and like there was no water left on earth! But now it is better I guess it adapted. Also fave didn't feel oily which is nice for summer time.  I am not sure if I'll get it again... pros are great but that feeling ...

It was the best of times it was the worst of times... oh wait! So here is what happened this week.  On Tuesday in a very silly way by keeping my Mulberry purse in the pram basket I lost it. Or it was stolen.  Yes it's the purse hubby gave me for my bday last year and I love it deeply and I have some cash in it... well there was also my resident permit in it. And this means I cannot leave the country until I have a replacement.  So we had to cancel our trip to motherland end of this month. Damn.  Everyone is upset, apart from maybe toddler since he didn't really know what is going on.  But then on Friday we had an adventure in Doctor Who experience and saw Spider-Man: homecoming.  Got to tell you if you haven't been to Dr Who in Cardiff do visit. It's fun! And don't forget it is closing end of summer. As for Spider-Man well he is my new favourite marvel superhero!  But my streak of trouble isn't over. This morning I was trying to fix my laptop... and I ...
