Just thought I’d take a moment to say hi to those readers whom I know in real life (not that I’m implying that the rest of you are figments of my imagination of course!). A few of my friends have “come out” as HPP readers recently, and I know of at least one other who [...]

Steph over at Adventures in Babywearing is hosting a little mini-carnival to let everyone share their slings! Littlepixie is getting heavy and prefers to run around now so I don’t use mine as much as I used to but here is a peek at them… each is well-loved and has served us well!

Littlepixie has started carrying her dolly around in a homemade sling, she holds dolly against her chest and I tie a muslin cloth around them.
Then Littlepixie walks around patting dolly’s head and singing to her. After a while they sit in the pirate ship and LP lowers dolly’s head down a bit so she can [...]

The human milk bank in Fermanagh urgently needs more donors, especially from the Republic of Ireland. You may recall that my first post was about our milk bank.

I’m the type of person that likes to be active about the things I am passionate about. In parenting spheres my passions include “extended” breastfeeding and carrying my child, usually in a sling. I remember when littlepixie was tiny, I [...]

I used to live in Doc Martens in my pre-vegan days, I had black ones, purple ones, burgundy ones, a pair lovingly customised with sparkly coloured nail polish, my so-called “baby-docs” which only had 6 holes, ah those were the days! I still have the old pair of burgundy ones with a worn away sole [...]

Another rainy afternoon, a teething littlepixie asleep in my arms (she’s too cute to put down on the bed) and me relaxing at the computer with a well-deserved cuppa tea.
I have decided to tidy up my blog. Just a few bits of virtual housekeeping. I actually got around to writing an about me page, there’s [...]

Allow me to indulge myself, if only for a moment, and moan a bit. I’m doing it here because there are two responses everyone else gives me and I’m not in the mood for them, you can probably guess the responses before I share the problems, the responses are… drumroll please….
1. Give up the whole [...]
