My Wednesdays are my days with Eli, or rather, without Isaac as he is in nursery. It's usually a case of catching up on chores, and/ or sleep.But if I'm wound up, like I was today, then sleep isn't an option.So I've managed to do some of those jobs that have been shouting out, I need to be done, and also, caught up on some tv that I keep missing by going to bed too early.Jobs achieved:- kitchen

OK, so Isaac is two and three quarters and still has a nap.Many other mums say their two year olds don't want to nap.And possibly that would have been the case with Isaac if we hadn't been so insistent. But as a 'Baby whisperer' baby he's been in a good sleep routine since fairly early on and has always had regular naps all the way to when we got down to one nap when he was about 16 months. And

Why? Because I sit with my boob in baby's face while my two year old causes havoc, or starts kicking and hitting me and baby because I'm not giving him any attention.Isaac resents it too, clearly. For example:Isaac: (seeing Mummy about to feed Eli) No don't feed Eli Mummy, Eli's not hungry...OrIsaac: Mummy put Eli in his cot now... pleeease.They are so clever aren't they.I worked out that I spend

Lack of sleep is a major problem. It's the difference between a good day and feeling like you have accomplished something, anything, whether it be playing with your child for half an hour while the baby sleeps, or doing some washing and cooking a meal. When you have it, you're coping fine, when you don't the world feels like its going to end, your head feels like it's going to implode and simple

I look into your eyes as they close and you drift off to sleep.I gaze at your sweet faceas I hold you in my arms.Your podgy cheeks, your rosy lips,your tiny chin, your furry head.Your little fingers as they try to find your mouth.The cute little noises that you make.I wonder at your beauty.I wonder what you will become.You are my darling, precious, baby son.29.12.11 Eli aged 8 weeks

This photo of Eli with Father Christmas has done the rounds already. I've facebooked it and sent another like it by email to all my contacts so it might as well go here as well.It is such a cute picture, one that I'm sure I'll keep forever as I will the memories of the precious moments with a new baby.Listening to Woman's Hour on Radio Four this morning and there was a fascinating phone in on the

I ask myself this as I'm sitting down after a long night/ long day and before another long night in a bid to try and come up with some positive solutions...It's a bit unrealistic to expect a two and a half year old to suddenly get it, whether getting it means being able to dress himself/ use a potty or the loo/ feed himself and so on and so forth. But compared to your newborn a two and a half

or go mental... Met some other mums today. One of them said she gains 15 minutes a week with her 8 week old. i.e. with every week that passes he can go 15 minutes longer between feeds at night. He is now going from midnight til 5 or 6.Meanwhile my 4 week old's longest stretch so far has been 3 and 3 quarter hours. So by the same rationale, gaining 15 minutes a week, I'd get to 4 hours and three

Meet Elijah, who arrived on November 2nd 2011, nearly a month ago already. Life has been pretty hectic to say the least and even as I write this he is crying so it'll be a short post.Life is now very much focused on trying to get as much sleep as possible which is usually somewhere between 2 and 5 hours a night; looking after and managing the needs of two children, and looking after the house,

In limbo, having finished work over a month ago and now awaiting the arrival of baby #2. Actually I'm officially now 3 days overdue, or at least 3 days beyond my official due date of 25th October.I'm not surprised, I'm expecting the little blighter to hang on in there for another few days as well, judging by prior experience.But what it means is that I can't really do much, or plan to do much

Never thought I'd see the sun again after so much rain already this month, but it has come to brighten up our lives for the last week in September.Been trying to dry out the sandpit which had turned into a paddling pool. No good for digging, so Isaac threw a couple of trantrums about that one!But, as you can see in the picture, he got to play in it after all, even though it was a bit soggy!

We've been in the house for nearly three months, which doesn't seem possible, given how little we've achieved, house-wise, in that time.Had a holiday in between and of course there is work, until Wednesday for me at least, which was my last day before maternity leave.I have, with the help of a very helpful mum and dad, managed to turn Isaac's girly pink room into a blue Thomas the Tank engine

T'would be pointless to write a whole year's worth of blurb to fill in for the time I have not upkept this blog, so I won't bother.My intentions last year were to start another work related blog, and did, but didn't fulfill my regular posting ambitions, so that fell by the way side a bit too.Anyway it's now the 11th September and nearly a year since I last posted, a message about wanting to

I feel like the trees have been cleared and I can see for miles, metaphorically that is. I think the last few weeks have been a time for making some, possibly overdue, decisions about what the flipping heck we are going to do.It's clear that while I have grown fond of Preston, it's just too lacking in many ways to want to make it my home for any longer than is absolutely necessary. And besides

September has come round again and I'm looking back on the last two months and catching my breath after a seemingly non-stop tour of the country. First I took Isaac to see Aunty Ruth in Colchester, which I thought was 'just outside of London'. How wrong I was, it took 7 hours to get there after I took an emergency last minute detour to avoid a traffic jam from hell on the M25. Phew! It would have

Yesterday we went to the park, not really planing a walk as I felt like I had been on the go all day, drving back to Preston from Yorkshire, going to the doctor to chek his ear, and nurse to get Isaac's 13 month jabs, going to the supermarket to fill up the fridge, cleaning the kitchen floor before Isaac trod in dog poo... Anyway, suffice to say I was thinking more of sitting down and watching

At last we got some sun! Saturday was one of the hottest days so far this year, probably beaten only by Sunday, which, at least for a little while, felt pretty hot too. So we went to the park and sat under a tree and Isaac got to eat flowers and grass and crawl around on mummy and daddy!Now I want more more more sunshine! More sunshine required please!

Why do so many of us go around pretending we feel fine and dandy, when we absolutely do not. And then, you meet somebody else and you open up to them and you realise that they are going through exaclty the same thing. And then it dawns on you that you are so not alone. Why don't they teach you this in parenting classes? Not that I ever went to any.... Women are so swept up with being pregnant and

The older you get the faster time goes. Another truism is the busier you are the faster time goes. Yet as I've recently discovered, it's also true that getting no sleep means that time literally passes you by... which means a) you can't even remember anything that happened during the time that's seemingly disappeared, and b) means you seem to have skipped a season, the best one - summer, leaving

It's now been four days since our official "due date" came and went and still no sign of baby. It's funny how we like to be so in control of our lives that when things, like having a baby, our out of our control, it's easy to become frustrated.But it's not so bad really, I still feel like there's lots to do, or rather, there are still lots of things I can be doing to get ready, pass the time and

So, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and can safely say I have the biggest bump of them all - the aqua-natal pregnant ladies that is.Little Latham was making it hard to do the jogging and jumping around in the pool today and kept letting me know to take it easy with frequent jabs in the ribs and kicks in the tummy.And while I feel tired much of the time (I have taking to napping twice a day now - my sister

The things they don't tell you about pregnancy:- You get trapped nerves which force you to bend double, and in my case, grab my groin, which is where the baby seems to be pressing down - looking like a little kid needing a wee.- You get cramp in your sides, hips at night and you can only turn over so many times before it becomes incessant.- You can only sleep on your sides, on your back you want

A lot can happen in a year a a bit, including my failure to post anything, not even a jot, here on this blog.Time to change that as there is so much to say and so much to learn.Back at the end of '07 J and I were planning a wedding, and the wedding took place in July '08 - possibly the best day ever - and certainly the best weather for the whole of that crap summer.

Too many festive spirits last night so feeling like a bear with a sore head and looking out the window at this awful, dreary December weather glad not to be out on the hills.Since my trip to Malham I haven't done much walking at all. Although b-f and I did make it to Parlick Hill and watched in awe as paragliders took to the air metres above us. Last year I bought b-f a paragliding voucher but he

Last weekend I went to Malham, and so did everybody else, or so it seemed at the time.It was Malham safari weekend but I wasn't there for the weird and wonderful mishapen animals and aliens... hence no pictures of those.I started the walk from the National Park centre, where I got a map - and followed a well beaten path to Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and Malham Cove.It was superb, but I would

We spent Saturday hauling ourselves up Skafell pike (James, Matt, Chris, Ruth, Winston and me - plus 100s of other dedicated walkers, fell runners, novices and dogs).It was a welcome escape from the campsite - neighbours from hell, and a great first look at the lake district from on high.(I must have visited the Lakes dozens of times, but not since I was a kid and only at lake level.

I can't believe so much time has past since I last blogged.To be fair, I haven't been able to log in for a while.I eventually got fed up of receiving incorrect password messages and being directed round in circles. I found the blogger group forum on google but have not checked it for replies to my pleas for help. Then, today I log in, and am directed to the reset password page -yeah!What is going

It being Saturday and, also, it being just one week from my Anglezarke Amble Challenge, a 16 mile walk over Anglezarke and Rivington moors (to raise money for the LEP's 'live in hope' campaign against domestic violence), I went off to discover Anglezarke and see what delights lay instore. I wasn't expecting a great deal, partly due to it being early February, and partly it's location:It's next to

...are there any? I've been looking for some blogs that focus on walking: where to do it (trails and areas etc), tips and advice, and amusing walking stories.... I'd like to find one but if I don't, I think Josie-blogs is going to become one as walking is what I do most in my free time, apart from cooking and cleaning (which don't merit blogging).Ofcourse there's the other half and the dog, which

Been meaning to blog for a while. Well, it has been 2 months...TWO whole months. And there has been lots to write about, though not all of it related to 'my life in Preston'.Perhaps it's time to redefine the purpose of this blog as a... blog of experiences which may or may not happen in, or be related to Preston.... which may be related to anywhere I so roam... i.e. a traveller's blog, by one

Starting at a place called Dunsop Bridge, 10-15 minutes north of Clitheroe, you can go an a number of walking trails which take you around or over hills. The scenery is the same as the Yorkshire Moors, and still looks autumnal with rusty red coloured trees and rich brown and green heathland.I anticipated walking 8 miles in 5 hours but, alone and in cool seasons you don't hang about, so I only

The link is to a picture of crazy looking rocks on the way up Tryfan, Snowdonia, last weekend.Being a Snowdonia novice (I have only been a couple of times and only once climbed a hill of any import, Snowdon) I was looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the area and seeing more great views. But, by the time Matt, Vic, James and I had met up at the campsite below Tryfan, it was properly

I have just been browsing local blogs on the LEP site and found myself reading about an initiative by the Preston chamber of trade which involves placing fibre glass sheep around the city to attract visitors and encourage trade.This from the Preston Chamber of Trade blog:'The project is designed to capture the imagination of young and old and really sell the great assets that Preston possesses on

All fun and no work with messengerI have succeeded in doing little work but having a great time for the last four hours.Although a self-confessed internet junkie for a while now, I have only just discovered the delights of msn messenger.It's ridiculous that it has taken me this long. I now remember that the main reason for me getting a hotmail account year ago was to get messenger. And yet I

Tennis anyone?B-f and I are trying to find somewhere to play tennis. Somewhere that doesn't cost a fortune.We went to Moor Park tennis courts the other week only to find them full and in a pretty bad condition.I've emailed a few people and so far have come up with Fulwood tennis club, for which you have to pay a membership fee, and one of the leisure centres which is cheaper.Now I just have to

Our house and where to find decent live music in PrestonOur house backs onto a bowling green, far nicer than another row of terraces. Anyway, what this means is that we get a lot of light but also, get to see the locals having a game of bowls. I never knew bowling was such a hardcore sport. I say hardcore because members of the bowling club are persistant in their pursuit of the game; coming out

Fiddling with templatesI'm supposed to be finishing my Masters project, but instead I have been fiddling with a new template for this blog. I've gone for the simple look this time.The banner is a picture of James reaching the horizon on the walk up Snowdon. It was taken in January this year on a weekend away for my Birthday.It's only 8.30 and it's all pretty quiet out there. Folks sleeping

Ribble-side walkThis was taken this morning as b-f and I went for a stroll along yon River Ribble.It was raining and the ducks were outand most of the people were in, which made for a very quiet pleasant walk.

It feels late, but it's early.......and I was searching the net forsome innovative citizen journalism sites when I remembered I hadn't finished getting this blog up and running. I am in the process of editing the html template to make it more groovy, but am not able to preview the template until I have a written a blog bost.
