Whale….what Whale.

Just like in the well known nursery rhyme, when Gracie is good she is very very good – but when Gracie is bad she is an arsehole horrid. I definitely meant horrid *** I’m sure we have all been guilty of it, you know exactly what I mean. When your child has pushed you to […]

Center Parcs – The one where Kirstie turns 30

It is very rare that we get to spend time away from Dolly. I mean, we both work full time so the time we spend together at the weekends is invaluable. Every now and then it’s nice to be able to get away and not have to worry about where the next snack is coming […]

CBeebies land

Mummy Hew and I talked at length about whether we wanted to expand the Hew Family. We looked at the pros and cons of having an only child and whether that was something we wanted. We decided that we wanted to extend the Hew Family but that there were a few things that we wanted […]

She’s a poet and didn’t know it.

Bathtime was fun today. Normally Gracie will happily play with her bath toys but as soon as is comes to washing her hair she hates it, or more to the point – me. She used to be fine with the jug being poured over her head but as she has got a bit older she […]

That family

Today we were that family 🤪. You know the one, the one who’s child is running round the restaurant and the parents don’t have a care in the world. Noting my earlier blog, Snowday, where the snow pissed all over our Sunday plans to go to our friends small child’s christening, we drove up […]

Snowday

We spend all winter waiting for it to snow yet when it does we do nothing but moan. Gracie loves the snow….even if she moans it’s too cold after being in it for 5 minutes. Snow literally pissed all over our plans this weekend. We were due to be driving to Ruddington via Loughborough for […]

Christmas Traditions

It’s that time of year where we all do things we have done time and time again at Christmas because it’s tradition. We have a number of traditions in our house and have created new traditions since having Gracie. I vowed not to leave home on Christmas Day since having Gracie, the door is open […]
