Project 366 – 001/366

Siblings

Last year I attempted (and failed) to complete project 365 so I’m going to give it another go this year.  Last year I tried to post more than just a photograph and sometimes that was too much of an expectation for me so this year my only aim is to post a photograph that I . . . → Read More: Project 366 – 001/366

Do you feel censored?

Censored

When I first started blogging I didn’t really think about ‘who’ would be reading my blog, it was just somewhere to write about life with my family from ‘my’ point of view as a wife, mother and stepmum.  All three of those roles can be rewarding and frustrating in equal measures because that is . . . → Read More: Do you feel censored?

Stepmum fail!

Mummy Matters

Before Little Bean and Beanie Boy came along I used to think I was a pretty good stepmum to Curly.  We would often have days out on our own and do craft activities at home or playing games, doing puzzles.   In the good old days of Top of the Pops we would have ‘dizzy . . . → Read More: Stepmum fail!

10 years already!!!

Mummy Matters

Ok well not quite if you want to split hairs but last night we celebrated Curly’s 10th birthday!!!  His official birthday is on Saturday but it is his weekend with his Mum and they are going to Alton Towers for the day.

It always feels very odd to celebrate Curly’s birthday when we won’t . . . → Read More: 10 years already!!!

What is it like being a step-parent . . .

Being a step-parent

I have been an official ‘stepmum’ to Curly now for nearly four and a half years but I have been in his life as his Daddy’s girlfriend for nearly seven and a half years.  Regulars readers of my site will probably notice that I don’t talk too much about my life as a stepmum.  This . . . → Read More: What is it like being a step-parent . . .

Not tired!

Not tired

As got into the car yesterday, Curly and Little Bean asked the usual question – “are we going far?”

I replied with the same response “far enough for you to have a nap”

In unison they replied “I’m not tired”

Five minutes later. . .

. . . no, obviously not then!!

Wart a misery! Plea for help and advice!

Take a look at this photo . . . .

. . . . yes I know its out of focus but I think you can see what I’m getting at.  This is the hand of my 9 year old stepson Curly.  About 2 years or more ago he only had one wart on . . . → Read More: Wart a misery! Plea for help and advice!

The Gallery: Hair

William

When Tara at Sticky Fingers set the theme of “Hair” for this week’s instalment of The Gallery, there was one picture that immediately jumped to my mind and that is Curly above age 3.  I bet you can’t guess how I came up with his nickname for my blog!?!?  He had a mass . . . → Read More: The Gallery: Hair

55/365 – Beanie Boy’s a water baby!

DSC03825

Hubby took the day off work today to spend time with me, Curly, Little Bean and Beanie Boy.  We decided that as we were all together we would take the opportunity to have a family swimming day and introduce Beanie Boy to the joys of a cold swimming pool!  As a family, swimming is something . . . → Read More: 55/365 – Beanie Boy’s a water baby!

19/365–Big brother

Not the best picture of Beanie Boy but this is a rare picture of Curly lately with a really nice genuine smile.  Unfortunately both Curly and Little Bean have developed a fake smile for photographs which would fit it well with Wallace and Grommit or Creature Comforts.  I love to see Curly with . . . → Read More: 19/365–Big brother
