Little Lady and Little Man’s current favourite game is continuous complaining. “Muuuuum She’s troubling me”, “MUM!! He’s making trouble to me” When you get to the root of what this “trouble” is it’s usually “he keeps following me”, “she called me dumb”, “she’s not playing with me”, “he keeps waving his hand near my book” […]
This article about mothers caught my attention recently. It is about parents who feel that they and their children who can behave in any way they want because they have priority over anyone else: “The inconvenience of others, it appears, is now a small price to pay for empowering one’s toddler.” The article upset me […]

This morning I had a nice much-needed lie-in – if that’s what you can call sleeping to 8am before hubby, knowing I am incapable of saying no, asked if I wanted to go to the boot market. We ended up at Dunton and Barleylands again. The drive there was blissful, with mustard fields that were […]

I wrote a post some time ago that elicited interest and some useful comments from sisters about what skincare and beauty products I use. Since that time, I have changed some of the products I use for ones that have less chemical nasties or are cheaper versions. I love sharing what works for me, so accordingly, the […]
I have had the sincerest intention every day for many days – to write, to blog, to answer e-mails to catch up with the various things that go with running a blog (like broken links, editorial calendars and queries about reviews and advertising). But life seems to conspire to distract and obstruct me. We are […]
The last part of 2008 has been difficult, with my grans death, my husband being away and illness. So when my parents and husband returned and myself and the children felt better it felt like we were finding normalcy again.Then the early morning phone-call. My husband always grabs this, thinking to protect me from the […]

I often receive very warm or interesting e-mails from sisters who have read my blog. Yesterday I received this: Asalam ulaikum sister, I am a huge fan of your blog, happy muslim mama. Please write a article on your amazing daughter. You could write about all the times she washed the dishes for you, hauls […]
