Ok if you have a giant second born son and a small to medium first born son with a two year age gap, perhaps don’t buy them matching jackets.

Baking with a toddler is really more process than product.

I am a cuddle up under a blanket when it’s raining type of person and the toddler is a run around in all weathers in a puddlesuit type of person.

Never seen a child look as confused as my preschooler when the sports coach told the group “now get into pairs”. He just stood there vaguely looking around for a giant piece of fruit.

Me: If ever you get lost, if we’re at the park and you can’t find Mummy, I need you to find another Mummy with children. Ok? The Preschooler: Ok. Will there be the same toys at the new Mummy’s house? Will it be the same bike? Wow.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-... I completely agree with Zoe Harrison. Women have always trained and played with size 5 balls. Ridiculous to change it like this.

Algorithms are so silly. Yes, we recently went on holiday, world of the Internet. O haha you are now advertising holidays all the time, because you think we can afford to go on holiday again in the next five years? You silly sausage.

Slightly diminish a book The Mid Gatsby

As I edit the first draft of my novel, I realise the bits that seem the most outlandish and unrealistic are the things that actually happened in my extended family. 🫤

Catherine of Sienna was the youngest of TWENTY-FIVE children?

Good morning grown ups, if my current curtains are 2m should I buy 150-199 or 200-250cm for the new ones? I know that obviously the current ones technically fall into the latter categor, but won’t they be too long? Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Have a blessed day.

Any writers looking to connect here? I just finished the first draft of my novel after 8 months. Thought I’d be celebrating but I feel so disheartened at how bad it is (this is not false humility; it is objectively terrible) and how much more work there is to do. So, so much more 😫.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Yeah. If it weren’t for people…

If you want to encourage a toddler to eat vegetables, try planting the seeds with them & giving them responsibility for watering. Then, when it’s grown, ask them which leaves they would like and cut them off the plant in front of them. O wait, they still hate lettuce it was all a waste of time.

www.theguardian.com/stage/ng-int... So many in the wrong place here, I don’t even know where to begin! Othello and the Tempest far too low.l

Best wishes to everyone receiving primary school offers today.

www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int... The Gruffalo and Fox in Sox are the wrong way round, age-wise, in my opinion.

Pretty sure when the dentist asked the preschooler if he had any questions, he wasn’t expecting him to ask him and the dental hygienist which of them was going to die first 🙄.

holy smokes

When a driver overtakes you dangerously because he’s annoyed you’re driving at the speed limit, then a couple of minutes later you end up right behind it again at some traffic lights 🤣.

I wish I could express quite how hard I was laughing watching a toddler gymnastics class try rhythmic gymnastics ribbon twirling for the first time. All they were supposed to do was walk in a line twirling the ribbons. The ribbons hanging from a stick. Absolute carnage.

Gosh, it’s only two weeks! I’m very pro, and proactive about reading with children but this is ridiculous.

I was choosing some toys for church that link to Bible stories. Whale, sheep, donkey, farmer, camel… O, wait, also LAZARUS 😁.

Chat GPT designed posters for local events are so ubiquitous now that I don’t see them any more. I know local businesses and charities are doing their best and facing all kinds of challenges, but this strategy isn’t it.

When the King of England starts to be portrayed as woke, you have to wonder quite how far they’re slipping to the right. Not exactly the most progressive institution, the British Royal Family.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

My 1 1/2 year old just pointed to some mud on the carpet, then pointed tow the hoover and made a hoovering noise.

@suffolkvicar.bsky.social I believe I heard you on Radio 4 this mornin? 🥰

Listened to opera last night just to spite Timothee Chalamet.

Every year when the first daffodils come up I’m struck by the fact that I’ve actually had low key seasonal depression for the last four months and not just a terrible personality after all.

I did not realise when I signed up to our local gardening club quite how much of the correspondence would be funeral invitations.

“Mummy I love you, Mummy I love ham.” Not even a millisecond of pause between them.

Look, I don’t care how many emails you send me. I’m not reviewing The Towel Shop.

We are aiming low with the World Book Day costume this year.

I do a tiny bit of acting/modelling as a side hustle and I just got my first ever audition tape through for… … drum role please… Middle aged lady. I don‘t think I’m going to recover from this.

Well, it turns out that taking the kids swimming for half an hour leads to a pleasant afternoon and easy bedtimes, but taking them swimming for an hour leads to Lord of the Flies.

No bigger disgust response than a preschooler discovering bugs in the bug hotel he made with his father. What did you think it was for? Did you just want to be one of those landlords investing in real estate thats sits empty and actively contributes to the affordable housing crisis?

Nice little earner for a state secondary teacher.

I had the kind of day when I went to church with 40-50 scotch pancakes and came home with a cabbage.

Do you think people are staring at me because of the dog collar or the space lunch box?

It has never been more important in most of our lifetimes than now to make art that deeply offends and concerns fascists.

The greatest peril in Spidey and His Amazing Friends this evening is that Hydroman is threatening to get some books wet outside a bookshop. Captain America has been deployed to help. Captain America, I think you may have bigger problems right now.

I’ve become way too invested in letter of the week at preschool. This week is F week. Here are some ridiculous ideas I have for the preschooler to bring to show and tell. Please feel free to add your own: 1) Functioning fondue set spilling cheese everywhere. 2) Fungi. 4) Mini working farm.

“Wet rehearsal?!” Seriously, NASA, just call it a tech rehearsal and then every theatre kid will understand the vibe.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️
