Parenting a small child is not easy.
Late finish on this post but Summer term in school is always a killer. Anyway....imagine you're transported back in time to May... It's been a pretty non-stop action month in the Webber household. We have had Ollievov's second birthday, Pose's <mumblemumble> birthday, SATs at my school, beginning of exam season at Poses school, Ollie has... Continue Reading →
It's all been a little hectic lately but largely in a good way. The Olephant, Pose and I had a fantastic bank holiday weekend and it felt like a real treat to have three days together during term time! To top it all, after three days of family fun we were still speaking to each... Continue Reading →
Firstly, I should point out that by entertained I really mean: keeping out of trouble, not making a moaning noise, not harassing the dog, not randomly licking objects/surfaces, taking a break from demanding cheese despite already having some in his hand, not flinging himself dramatically on the floor to express his despair with the world...

I get that mother's day is a chance for children/offspring/financial burdens to do something nice for or spend time with their mum's. However, it's not really hit me until the last couple of years, this year particularly, that it's almost more of a chance, particularly when the child is at Ollie's age, for husbands/partners to...

Now, Oliver is a wonderfully reasonable young rascal the majority of the time. As long as people bow down to his will and he has a steady supply of snacks, then everything is fine and dandy. However on occasion life can throw things up that are designed seemingly with the sole purpose of frustrating and... Continue Reading →
Firstly apologies. I got a bit carried away with this post so if it's all a bit tldr...great year, Ollie talks and walks, we did a lot and all survived. January - It's moving and other bits. Ollie had begun to crawl over Xmas period and had decided with a bit of encouragement and help... Continue Reading →
Lots of family meet ups took place for our little family over the festive period. This involved us zipping all over the place to far flung exotic places such as Kingston upon Thames, Tamworth, Stratford Upon Avon and Calne. It was genuinely ace to catch up with everyone, it really doesn't happen often enough. The... Continue Reading →
Just a few pics from Christmas festivities. Didn't take many on the day as was far too busy cooking non stop, this is something that will need remedying next year! In his own unique way Ollie found a way to make opening presents combative, albeit in an endearingly cute/monstrous way. Forcing presents into Pose's face... Continue Reading →
Torrential rain and 50+ mile an hour winds last night gave way to an awesome day today weather-wise. The days activities were also great fun despite Ollie and Rosie tagging along and cramping my style. Ollie went for his first paddle in the sea, and very quickly ran away from his first paddle in the... Continue Reading →
After a 5.30am tent take down and being eaten alive by midges, we made a long drive down to Pembrokeshire and Fishguard. It is all ridiculously pretty, so much so that it's almost sickening. The weather system is playing nicely today so our tent and worldly belongings have dried out from the 24 hours+ of... Continue Reading →
