My house is still a mess (although a big thanks to Mr. HPP for loading the dishwasher some time in the middle of last night!) so I spent a few minutes this morning making myself a little affirmation card to put on my recently redecorated kitchen window sill (hmmm… should I have used that time [...]

My latest post for API Speaks, hope you all enjoy my sleepy tale…
Excuse me if this post is rambling, it’s written by a very tired mammy. One who only went to bed at half 4 this morning and who got up again at 9. But it’s nowhere near the sheer exhaustion I remember from the [...]

I must…..

Clean my house
Clean my house
Clean my house

But not right now, Littlepixie is napping in my arms, and I’ll share this beautiful poem that dear Isil emailed to me many moons ago

** Blog Carnival is live now - click here**
Littlepixie rose bright eyed and bushy tailed at 03:00 this morning. Wonderful. In the sleepless hours that followed I had an idea.
Some of the comments left after yesterday’s “twittery” post mirrored thoughts I often have. I frequently imagine that every other mother is doing a better job [...]
