In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Things only sparkle when you keep moving

December 20, 2017 By Ellen

I love a bit of cold – proper biting, crispy cold. And it was like that for a few days. Real winter, chilly enough to let you know when spring arrives.

The parenting milestones no one tells you about

December 18, 2017 By Ellen

In fact, the menopause is something that up to 50% of UK women are too embarrassed to talk about at all, even with their GPs. But […]

A Belfast weekend in pictures

December 8, 2017 By Ellen

  I love staying in hotels because someone else clears up while your own house doesn’t get any dirtier. Everyone else loves them for the surprise cake. The Europa was fab – even posting us the clothes one of the boys left behind.   You can just see the H&W gantry cranes over Boy Two’s shoulder. […]
