I Love You More Than Sleep…

A few days ago I posted this picture on Twitter: Ooooo, so pretty! Loads of people have asked about it and requested a bigger image. So, here it is! It’s a beeee-utiful wall vinyl that I bought for M&M to decorate our new bedroom (he thinks it’s one of those presents you say you’re buying for your [...]

Tales of Tiredness and a Big Apology

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve blogged on my beloved Playpen – this has been the longest hiatus since I started and I really have no excuse for it… Except that I’ve been so flippin’ tired of late – my Sweetkids are utterly adorable but they don’t ‘alf demand a whole heap [...]

Pat on the Back

I thought maybe I should start this post with an apology for being a lax and disorganised blogger… …but then I remembered that I do parent two under-5′s (one of whom is cheerfully embracing every aspect of the ‘terrible twos’ cliché); and I can’t remember when I last had a full night’s sleep; and I have spent the [...]

My Name is Sweetmumma and I’m an Internetaholic

Sweetmumma has been having a few days away from the t’internet…seriously! Am I the only one who finds Twitter/Facebook/Googling-random-thoughts strangely addictive? Quite possibly – I am a bit odd! Anyway, I do tend towards the obsessive; a fact which God knows only too well and has spent far too much time (in my opinion) challenging [...]

For Life’s Little Dramas

Friday is fast becoming the day that I post a little something that will waste MINUTES of your life. So sorry. I do intend to post about something more meaningful at some point. My original plan was to use Friday for ‘Family Fun’ ideas and to share some fab online resources I’ve come across for [...]

Let it snow, let it snow, love the snow…

 On Sunday at our Sweetchurch we sang my most-favouritest-ever hymn: Great is Thy Faithfulness. An oldy but a goody!   Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. I don’t know what it is about the [...]

Market Trader!

Sweetmumma has been a busy girl. My teeny-weeny cottage industry, SweetStuff, has been ticking along nicely. I’ve got 2 more sales before Christmas (if they go well, the Sweetkids WILL be getting presents!!), so I’ve been beavering away making sure I’ve got enough stock to sell. Thought you might like to have a little look-see [...]

WAIT…Sweetmumma needs your help!

It was the Sweetchurch Weekend not long ago – 3 days of teaching, worship and a big-fat-roast-dinner. YUM. One of the lovely people who cooked said big-fat-roast-dinner was our lovely Sweetgrandpa (he peels a good spud). And he clearly found favour in someone’s eyes as he was also made ‘Chief of Tea and Coffee’ at break [...]

Shoutymumma

Look out world, Sweetmumma has an Evil Twin… Shoutymumma!   Today, weakened by her own personal kryptonite, Lack-Of-Sleep, Sweetmumma couldn’t keep her nemesis at bay and Shoutymumma took control of the Sweethouse.  The Sweetkids couldn’t believe their eyes as this new Mutant Mumma rampaged through the living room, snapping at anyone who ‘made-a-mess’ or couldn’t ‘sort-it-out-yourself’, spreading [...]

Give the Moaning a Rest

Do I moan a lot? I don’t know for sure, but I feel like I moan a lot… Mainly about being tired and having loads To Do.   Both of which are true. I am tired and I do have loads to do…but I don’t want to be a moaner, I really don’t. I’ve been [...]
