Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: A very long birthday
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-very-long-birthday.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. A very long birthday. Recently, it was my girls birthday. It's been five years since Miss Georgina arrived into the world and made me a parent. It's kind of unbelievable, because it feels like it has been such a short time, and yet I'm quite sure I have never been without her. The birthday celebrations lasted 3 days! I made two cakes, one for the family party and one for the friend party, and I feel it is a ridiculous number of cakes for a little girl who doesn't eat sugar. Bu...

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: The post where all the judgmental people can go shove it.
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-post-where-all-judgmental-parents.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. The post where all the judgmental people can go shove it. Well, maybe they don't quite say that. But you know what? Don't you think that we know? Do you honestly believe that those articles and stories and studies help us at all? Do you think that a parents who regularly loses their temper with their kids just magically reads some of those words and immediately goes, "gee I better stop losing my temper and being an angry parent"?

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: A Christmas post and a half
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-christmas-post-and-half.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. A Christmas post and a half. I've decided that I quite fancy doing a bit of a Christmas wrap up. I know it's nearly February, but I also know how much I enjoy looking back on the memories. Our kids were up at 4:30 am! Look at that tired face! I remember how much I used to love it when my parents and Aunties and Uncles would swim with us when I was a kid, and I want to make sure I have fun with my kids. I think we did this Christmas, anyway! A few days after Christmas we headed ...

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: So, tonight I had two showers.
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2015/06/so-tonight-i-had-two-showers.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. So, tonight I had two showers. Every night, just before I go to bed, at around 10:30pm or so, I take Charlie to the toilet to do a wee so he doesn't wet the bed. Usually I just pick him up, take him to the toilet, help him pull his pants down, and then kneel on the floor next to him, to point him in the right direction, since he's usually half asleep. I immediately said "Charlie! I really, really do love being a parent. I would laugh so much less if Charlie wasn't in my life. This ...

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: Around Here
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2015/01/around-here.html
Monday, January 26, 2015. So we are getting ready for Kindy (! In the four and a bit years that she has been all mine, have I done all that I can for her? My girl is off to face the world, and she will use what skills I have taught her to do so. I am a bit sad for all the times I have not been the Mummy I wanted to be. But I know that always. I will be her Mum and she will be my Georgie girl. I hope so much that she has a good time. But I really do enjoy it. Group exercise is what really works for me...

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: September 2014
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. I think God made me so he'd have someone to laugh at. It's no secret that I'm really good at doing stupid things. I seem to have a gift for it. So the other day, I read about the iPhone auto-correct prank. Now, in our household all the apple devices are connected, and I figured out that I could change Shane's phone from my Ipad. It started off as harmless enough, I changed the word ' yes. And the word ' please. To a very bad word indeed. Shane then changed the word ' Robyn.

Monday, July 28, 2014. I am still battling. Every morning, I still have to kind of force myself to face the day. Goodness I am looking forward to the day when just being, is not a hard task. But in the meantime, I am trying really hard to figure out what helps. I'm glad God loves me. For now, I'm just trying to focus on the basics. I know He is with me, and I will just continue to do the best I can. Friday, July 25, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. I am THAT mother. Charlie....

Slightly more depth than a teaspoon: December 2014
http://slightlymoredepththanateaspoon.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Insert witty title here. Hi So it's been a while. I've been tired lately. I've just been really, really tired for what feels like forever. And finding the time, and the things to say, knowing what to say and what to leave unsaid is tricky at the moment. I'm not in the throes of depression. But lately, for the past few months really, I have just felt like I am slogging away, walking in really thick, goopy mud, you know? Comparison truly is the thief of joy. Mid 20's SAHM. ...
