Not everything is just part of being a parent. A few months ago my son was ill. Not unusual, kids get sick. They pick up germs from other kids, from us, from putting anything and everything in his mouth. He’s been sick before and he’ll be sick again. This time …
So I’ve fallen behind with National Poetry Writing Month. The first week went very well, but over the course of the last week, I’ve only written three poems. I’m not overly worried, while the aim is to write thirty poems in thirty days, in the past year I’ve found that …
Here at Queer Little Family, we use both disposable and cloth nappies on Snappy. I would like to ditch the disposables entirely but it’s not been feasible with Snappy’s nappy rash and the fact that he moves so much in his sleep. So at night we use a disposable because …
National Poetry Writing Month started in 2003 inspired by NaNoWriMo. I’ve done both, won NaNoWriMo once though I don’t participate much anymore.

Before having my first cat Micky nearly seven years ago, I’d never had a cat. I hated cats (furry jerks) and I like hamsters. I’m not a dog or a cat person. I am a hamster person. I have no hamsters at the moment because Kitten ate the last ones and …
Easter is reeeeeeally early this year, it’s Good Friday this Friday, so I’m a bit later than usual with my holiday themes board book list. To be honest, I wasn’t actually going to a board book post, because Snappy isn’t into board books now. He still likes to look at the …
Today I was signed off work for two weeks for my depression. I haven’t felt this bad four about five or six years and I’ve considered cutting. I won’t; I’m pretty sure of that actually but I spent a good hour at work yesterday trying not to cry and then …
