MummyLadyMe: School days
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/09/school-days.html
Thursday, 22 September 2011. So it finally happened. I remember, back in the haze of exhaustion of looking after a toddler and a baby, I foolishly calculated how long it would be before my boys were both at school. It was a. We're now over half way through Nathan's second week at school. How did that happen? The baby mentioned above is now a truly handsome four year old. Astounding. It's going to take a while to build up the stamina for school though. They're all a bit tired out by doing five full da...

MummyLadyMe: Precious
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/07/precious.html
Monday, 4 July 2011. I've recently bought a limited edition (ooh-er) shower gel (not so ooh-er) that calls itself "Precious". It's supposedly made with Jasmin and Cotton Milk. I'm not sure it makes me feel more precious, but it smells nice, and it is a girly pink shade - so it can't be all bad. It did prompt me to remember a song I know by a singer songwriter called Martyn Joseph:. This song always makes me realise that ache that we all have inside to feel precious; to be valued; to be cherished. Thankfu...

MummyLadyMe: August 2011
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 August 2011. Last month Paul and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. I know - doesn't time fly. We celebrated the day with a number of friends and family. Here we are cutting a cake that I made:. 65279;This cake is a copy of the middle tier of our chocolate wedding cake, although the flowers are a slightly less demure colour than they were on the original. Still, surely the next decade can't be so eventful. But who knows? In my head though - I have entitled the next decade. Another anni...

MummyLadyMe: The Questions people ask...
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/11/questions-people-ask.html
Tuesday, 8 November 2011. The Questions people ask. When you enter the 'both children at school' phase of life, people ask you some marvellous questions. What do you do all day? Probably the most common - I'm not going to rant - but it's safe to say; I'm not just sat on my rear watching Daytime TV.). When are you going back to work? Because combining shift work with the school run is just. But my personal favourite:. Are you going to have another baby? So, dear reader - I am quitting whilst I'm ahead.

MummyLadyMe: Let's look at the map
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/06/lets-look-at-map.html
Tuesday, 7 June 2011. Let's look at the map. Last week, as it was half term, it seemed like a good idea to let Joel (and thus, all of us.) have a go at orienteering. Paul (aka Daddy), really enjoyed orienteering at school, and at university - as it combines two of his great loves; running and maps. Recently, Paul has done a few orienteering events with a local club - The Octavian Droobers - and having talked to Joel about it, he was. Keen to have a go. And set off for some woods near Harbury. We all felt...

MummyLadyMe: Broadening your Education
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/11/broadening-your-education.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2011. It got me thinking again about how important it is to teach your children things they may well never learn about in school. I've mentioned before how Jimi Hendrix has saved our school run. I'm disproportionately proud when Joel can name the band he's listening to. I mean - I know it's not going to save any lives or anything - but it pleases me that he can recognise Stevie Wonder or the Jackson Five. What song is so important that you would put it on there? I may be some time.

MummyLadyMe: September 2011
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 September 2011. School runs, 'the wall' and Jimi Hendrix. This Sunday one of my friends from church ran the Berlin Marathon. I know, crazy chap. Aaron ran the Marathon, because he wanted to - but also to raise money to support Christians Against Poverty. A marvellous charity helping people out of poverty - but also helping people avoid getting into debt in the first place. There's still time to sponsor him if you like; just go to his Just Giving. Can I stay at home with you, Mummy? I gently c...

MummyLadyMe: Anyone for tennis?
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/06/anyone-for-tennis.html
Tuesday, 14 June 2011. This weekend I had the chance to go and see the semi-finals of the tennis at the Queen's club. My friend Clare - a school friend I hadn't seen in years - is properly into tennis, and she enters the ballot for tickets for Wimbledon and Queen's every year. It was my good fortune that she'd got tickets for this year, and that she was looking for someone to go with her. Hoorah! O) Here we are, enjoying the sunshine.:. After Andy Murray had finished his demolition of Andy Roddick, we go...

MummyLadyMe: October 2011
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 18 October 2011. Harvest Festivals - the Trilogy. This morning I went to my third and final Harvest Festival of the year. Once your children get to school, you don't do these things once - oh no. once is for wimps! The second Harvest Festival was actually a harvest / thanksgiving / 1st birthday service at our church (how's that for multi-tasking? So what have I learnt from my Harvest Trilogy? Today, try to cultivate (ooh, appropriate gardening term alert. pleasing! Links to this post. Christmas ...

MummyLadyMe: May 2011
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 May 2011. I know I am not the most gifted cake baker in the world. I have friends who are far better at it than I am; especially the part that involves making them look pretty. I guess that's the bit where it moves from cookery (where I'm not bad) to art (where I'm a bit ropey to be honest.). Still, there's something really great about baking things with and for your kids. It's Nathan's 4th birthday tomorrow (I know, where does the time go? So here they are:. Tip - use a BIG bowl.), Blob...
