What REALLY happens when the class teddy comes home

Amy Ransom's Guide To. What REALLY happens when the class teddy comes home. By Amy Ransom on April 20, 2015 , 8 Comments. So this weekend Barnaby Bear came to stay. The class teddy. I don’t know who decided it was a good idea. Look after him. When we had the nursery one, we lost it. But anyway. Welcome to hell, Barnaby. The point of this exercise is apparently to develop your child’s story-telling and communication skills. (Mmmmm. If that were really the point, they’d just ask them to...Because just what...

Amy Ransom's Guide To. A poem for lovely, amazing mums. By Amy Ransom on April 22, 2015 , 2 Comments. There’s more to you than meets the eye. More than nappies and crumbs. You’ve got dreams and needs of your very own. Beyond being someone’s mum. 8216;You’re lucky’ to have them, you know, you know. But sometimes you just want to scream. Dig out some heels and get out on the town. And start pursuing those dreams. It’s ok to admit how hard it can be. When the days stretch endlessly ahead. Come and join us.

The Baby Contract

http://www.amyransom.com/life-with-kids/what-babies-do

Amy Ransom's Guide To. By Amy Ransom on April 27, 2015 , 4 Comments. The other day my mum made this quip about how I need to re-read our contract. She’s one funny lady. She said 5.30 AM starts aren’t allowed in our house. Apparently, there are other rules too. Well, this is what I say to that. 1 Firstly. I can’t read. Or write. Or tell the time. I’m pretty sure this voids any contract. Think we have. (I’m dictating this, in case you’re wondering.). 2 I reserve the right to change the goal posts constantly.

My baby's crawling (I'm crying)

http://www.amyransom.com/life-with-kids/baby-crawling

Amy Ransom's Guide To. My baby’s crawling (I’m crying). By Amy Ransom on May 5, 2015 , 5 Comments. After 10 blissful months of doing very little, sitting like a Buddha with his only hobbies being a penchant for breadsticks and growing 2mm of tooth, The Boy with No Name is on the move. And my life is over. If Elvis did yoga. It doesn’t matter how many kids you have, you’re never ready for the crawling stage. The inconvenience of not being able to leave a room. Just like that. Seriously, why the rush?

Amy Ransom's Guide To. The many personalities of mum…. By Amy Ransom on May 8, 2015 , 2 Comments. You never realise how many sides to your character you have until you have kids. How many of these do you tick in any given day? For all of 55 seconds anyway. Until the kids get up. Enter Adrenaline Mum. Adrenaline Mum is fuelled by caffeine. Paracetamol. And adrenaline. She’s on the edge, prepped ready for the morning struggle. The debate over breakfast. Sorry, did I say debate? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

Amy Ransom's Guide To. The first 12 days with a newborn…. By Amy Ransom on July 16, 2014 , 11 Comments. It’s a funny old time. Having a baby. You experience such a range of emotions in such a short space of time. You celebrate. You cry. You laugh. You cry some more. Your other half looks on with a mixture of wonder and helplessness. Sometimes fear. So what can you really expect from that first couple of weeks with a new baby? Day One. ‘I can do anything! There is NO day like this one. Day Four is a volat...
