Do babies need big birthday parties?
Posted by kerry dibble on
River turned 3 a couple of weeks ago, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her small and inexpensive birthday celebration with her family, but it did get me thinking about how much some people spend on such occasions, and why??

As some of you may have seen River turned 3 last weekend, and her neurotypical/naive dad decided it would be great fun for us to visit the arcade...on a very rainy Saturday...during school holidays.

Should toddler bed time = Mummy bed time?
Posted by kerry dibble on
Do you go to bed at the same time as your toddler? Do you find it affects your relationship with your partner, your friends, your older kids, or your sense of self identity?
As a neurospicy mum I suffer chronic overwhelm if I do not get some time to myself, or just to do the things that I find fun/relaxing/grounding. Having a toddler on my body all day AND all night is just too much, and causes me to become overstimulated and impatient (not my best mum self).

Some rich bloke is getting a new hat and this is apparently cause for celebration, so off we all go to sit on tiny sticky chairs and make small talk in a room full of chaos.
Sounds fun right?
