    The garden

    Recently I’ve been messing around with oil pastels trying to draw our garden from different angles (I sketch from photos I’ve taken of the garden during different seasons).

    All the small things..

    Trying to decide which toddler request you need to draw the line at for your own sanity and so they don’t think of you as their personal slave, and so you can get whatever it is they are stalling against (bedtime/dinner time/brushing teeth time..) done is so hard . They are all so small and […]

    Parenting pep talks

    Sometimes I feel like I need some kind of parenting coach to get me through the daily routine.

    Her little sayings

    I don’t want to forget all her little sayings so I tried to draw them. Think my favourite made up word of hers is ‘alonely’. ‘ Too much’ she uses as if it’s a defined quantity, and she uses ‘for to’ to construct many of her sentences and ‘am are!’ instead of I am. Because […]

    Meeting up with friends who have kids in winter..

    Aargh when you have kids someone is always ill! As a consequence my social life during winter consists almost entirely of standing in the drizzle at a playground chatting to other parents in the short window one has before someone’s child screams “I’m cold! I want to go home!”/it rains.

    Christmas cards

    Sending out some of the home-made Christmas cards I painted ages ago (2014!) and have been keeping for no real reason to friends and family. They are mostly on the theme of cats distracting Father Christmas as we used to have two cats Shadow and Archimedes who would climb the Christmas tree and fight the […]
