November 21, 2018May 9, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

The best laid plans eh…we have this wonderful vision of introducing the baby to the new big brother or sister, but as like most things with kids, it never works out that way.

How to talk about pregnancy with siblings

July 2, 2018June 24, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

We introduced Wriggler to the idea of becoming a big brother by taking him to our 12-week ultrasound. We had an ultrasound at eight weeks and were confident that things were ok, nonetheless we did get the sonographer to check me over before letting the new big brother in to see what on earth was … Continue reading How to talk about pregnancy with siblings

Mummy tribes

April 10, 2018April 10, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Haven't we all been there...that playgroup, baby class, school playground even, where you can see the mummies tribes and have to try and work out where you fit in? Me...I think I hover - I don't belong to a gang in the playground or playgroup - perhaps that is because I have a strong group … Continue reading Mummy tribes

Going from two to three…

March 13, 2018March 12, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I'm not talking about three children here - I just mean making that first decision to have try for a baby. When you make a commitment as a couple you will have had some conversations about children and what your future holds around that and hopefully you are on the same page, because then the … Continue reading Going from two to three…

Whether you have just moved in together, moved home, done some renovations or just want to freshen up your style, sometimes you need some inspiration for those homely touches.

The biggest day of your life

February 28, 2018January 30, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

My last post was about getting engaged and what that all means... It came about because it was nine years since I got engaged; next month is my eighth wedding anniversary - so now my thoughts turn to where we were at all those years ago. We planned a church wedding, a big barn reception, … Continue reading The biggest day of your life

If you like it put a ring on it

February 24, 2018February 24, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Nine years ago The Mr put a ring on it - on Valentines Day actually. It wasn't  a crazy romantic proposal...I am not even sure he planned it more than a few days in advance, but to me - it was actually perfect. Admittedly, when I was younger and most certainly in the six years … Continue reading If you like it put a ring on it

Festive Cheer

December 24, 2017December 23, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I am terrible in that I haven't actually written anything properly and then published it in ages... There are loads of excuses and reasons why and I could bore you but I wont. Honestly, I re-read some of the half-drafted posts and thought 'boring; jumping on a bandwagon; no idea what the point of that … Continue reading Festive Cheer

Too many words

November 14, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Between Fidget's birthday and a mass load of stuff going on I have nine half-written articles that need finishing and publishing on my blog. I am sorry I'm rubbish at the moment. But, to lighten your day check out this video of Tim Minchin giving an address with nine life lessons...he isn't wrong! Write more … Continue reading Too many words

Rainbow Babies

October 15, 2017October 9, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ 1 Comment

A friend of mine recently confessed that they had a miscarriage earlier this year and it really hit them hard. Not just because it was unexpected (the miscarriage), but because she already has a baby so knows her body can do it. How could it let her down and betray her so? Another friend of … Continue reading Rainbow Babies
