My son got stuck in a frying pan today. Twice. The the first time he got it out and managed to step into it. Then he got stuck and couldn’t get out of the pan. So I lifted him up the entire inch needed and back onto the floor. When he got his bum stuck… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 18th June
My dad tavelled over from Coventry to visit us this weekend. I’m always working when he comes over but I make sure I have time to spend with him. Regardless of our differences over the years I want him to be able to see and know his grandson. I want Snappy to know his grandad…. [Read More]
A Letter To My Son On Father’s Day
Dear Phineas, Today is your first father’s day. But you don’t have a daddy, so we’re celebrating podge mummy day. Right now you don’t know any different. The men in your life are mostly the ones with furry faces, uncles, granddads and cousins. (And cats). You don’t know that some families have one of these… [Read More]

Poem: Affirmation
I touch smooth skin and soft hair – whatever I can reach – in reassurance of his existence. As if my vision is a lie my other senses in denial. My boy, smiles, and so do I, following the rise and dip of each vertebra holding him together. As he holds me together, piece by… [Read More]

For more information check… [Read More]
Adventures In Mush: Baby Enforced Weaning.
Snappy has weaned himself off breast milk. We helped, but to be honest he did most of the work himself. He’s been eating pretty well since we started him on mush just before he hit six months. He went from one meal to two meals a day pretty quickly. My wife gives him fruit and… [Read More]
My Sunday Photo – 28th May
Shock of all shocks I actually went to see a GP this week for my migraines. I also went with bethend to her appointment (and she came to mine). While they were waiting for me to finish work (partly the reason I never go to see the GP) they went to the cafe and Snappy… [Read More]
Five Differences Between Cats and Babies
As you may recall, I had some problems with having too many cats when Snappy came along. I still have too many cats and the similarities between babies and cats continue – I have discovered recently that both babies and cats will eat anything off the floor. Crumbs, cat biscuits, fluff… There are of course… [Read More]
Mental Health Moments Link Up
On my other blog, I used to run a monthly link up called Mental Health Moments. Well, I’m bringing the link up back. It sort of died as my son was born and I was too busy to even blog, let alone blog, run a link up (even a monthly one) and work and have… [Read More]
