Confessions of a modern Mummy

Well, I love so many other Mummy's blogs out there and they inspire me greatly but the ones that touch a chord are the ones that are real, the ones that include the grubbiness and the gripes, the tears and the heartache. Not wanting to bare my soul totally though I thought it might be a good idea to share just some of the reality of my life. The ebb and flow, the dark and the light, the thoughts and ideas...

I cook from scratch always but secretly crave plastic cheese squares and angel delight

I recycle, re-use and reclaim but lust after a nightmarishly expensive designer sofa

I advocate gentle and peaceful parenting but flare up like a banshi at times

I hate shouting and violence yet love watching films with knights battling it to the death

I try and drink lots of water but this gets diluted with wine most evenings

I save energy wherever possible but love having lots of lamps in corners - it's just nice

I write lists about lists about lists then lose the list and write on a list to look for the lost list

I love silence but hate being on my own

I believe in herbal remedies but when I get ill I yearn for frozen chicken pies 1970's style

I hate TV but love watching films

I love plants and growing stuff but am a blatently lazy gardener

I am great at giving advice and rubbish at taking it

I change my mind with the seasons and my hair colour too xx
