| May 6, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
My family and I attended the Land of Kids Festival in Hackney, London today. I was thrilled when we were invited because we pretty much end up doing nothing most Bank Holiday weekends, and this one we were sick for most of it to boot. While none of us are back to 100% health, we…

For the last two years, I have had the worst luck with my garden. What pregnancy didn’t take out of me, sickness and a newborn did, and then, to top it off it rained so much last year that even my mint died. Do you have any idea how hard it is to kill mint?…
Mamatography Week 17 : the best bits
| May 1, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, On Mama's Mind, Projects |
I have this overwhelming awareness that these days are few. Every time one of my girls does something that grabs my attention, I realise that these days are few, so very, very few in the grand scheme of things. It’s making me quite emotional.

How long will it be, till you no longer reach for my hand? How long until dinosaurs and fairies no longer roam and you can face everything you fear on your own?
Mamatography Week 16: My Girls
| April 24, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, Projects |
To say it’s taking us a while to settle in would be an understatement. Honestly, I have no idea why it’s been so rough, but the to do list in getting the house organised alone is quite intimidating. The girls are only just starting to sleep well again, and we’re kind of over the horrible…

Mamatography Week 15: Getting There
| April 17, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, Projects |
We walked through the front door and straight into a horrid tummy bug that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment. That, on top of the flight and the jet lag and the general draining of the last few months really wiped us all out and there were no great outings or anything…
Bean Counting – Making The Finances Add Up When You Just Want To Be A Mother

I’ve been thinking a lot about going back to work full time recently. It’s been a tough year, and perhaps that’s what we need – two incomes to just get us back on our feet.
