ADVENTURES WITH THE GOOMAH’S – (FORMALLY “THE TODDLER.”
CHAPTER 35It’s been some time since I’ve written a post about the creatures that came into our lives and stopped us buying the good wine, having intercourse and being able to eat at the nice places.I do admit the fact we had another child kind of ruined the whole toddler theme and I went into…
Adventures with the Toddler – Chapter Nineteen: Great Big Knickers
There are moments in life. Key moments that transition us to our next state of being. For me, that was today when we took the toddler shopping to buy “big girl knickers.” This is something the toddler has wanted for a while, but toilet training was still a thing and if it wanted actual underwear…
Adventures with the Toddler – Chapter Eighteen: A Very Toddlery Christmas
Santa Claus. He’s a touchy subject these days in the modern world. My sister and I believed in him for a bit and when the time came that I discovered a big jolly man didn’t really break into our house to leave gifts – it made a lot of sense. It also answered that question…

Well, the Peppa Pig obsession has returned as has the default setting of “no.” It loves to watch Peppa on my phone and not on the telly. Peppa on the phone, Daniel Tiger on the telly. This makes things hard for me as my phone is my lifeline, I’m never without it and I have…

Traveling With Our Toddler – PART SIX (The final part)
Yes, alas, it is the final installment in the Traveling with our toddler blog. London was a great trip and all too short. It all began after changing out a nappy at Kings Cross train station. Changing nappies in public bathrooms is always a fun experience, especially if it’s a particularly potent one. The stares…
Traveling With Our Toddler – PART FIVE
Well. It has been eventful. We caught the train from Bordeaux to Paris. Bordeaux I really liked. The transport system is fantastic and if one was to miss a tram, one could skate to their destination on the dog shit lining the streets. Our hotel was good. I mean it was 3 stars by whoever…

Traveling With Our Toddler – PART THREE
We left Saint Cyprien today and caught the train to Bordeaux. Any wine lover must make the pilgrimage and this is one I embraced with an open heart. I am humbled to ensure all is up to standard for you wine drinkers. Someone has to do it and it’s a sacrifice I accept. We left…
Traveling With Our Toddler – PART TWO
Just to give fair warning, I’m really bad at keeping a diary or updating anything. We caught the train South to Bordeaux a few days ago. What a bloody city!! I think we will have to go back. The morning before we left Paris, we spent looking for Bae, without any luck. I couldn’t leave…

Today the toddler decided she was coming to work with me. So she got a bag and packed an old pair of shoes, gum boots and a toy lobster. She put them beside my tool bag and lunchbox, convinced she would be heading out to work. It broke my heart having to tell her I…
