Susie Q is the owner of the lighthearted and funny blog Out of the Ordinary. She bravely agreed to swap blogs with me for one day, as we explore each other’s lives. We couldn’t be more different: Single, no children and employed vs married, a baby and a stay at home mom, Susie and I take a look at family life and single life from opposite sides of the aisle. After reading Susie’s thoughts here, stop by her blog to read mine and for a good laugh, take a look at some of her other posts too!

Happy Christmas! Baby’s first…
Okay, I know… To Kyra, this was just another day, but for us, it was lovely.
We woke around 9am, probably the last time we’ll get to sleep that late on Christmas day for some time, and dressed her in her Christmas dress.

Easy Home Made Christmas Crackers
Okay, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It should read, home altered crackers.
I really love crackers, I think they just make the Christmas dinner table, and distinguish it from just another meal. But I also really find them quite unsatisfying. Like a big bang with no real hoorah.
I mean, who really needs another set of nail clippers, a plastic whistle, or a shoe horn? Easy Home Made Christmas Crackers – continue reading…
Homebirth – A man’s perspective
When our daughter was born, I asked my husband if he would write his version of the experience, so that I could know what it was like for him, and one day she could too. In our search for a homebirth, we became aware of the fact that there are endless stories by mothers, but so few by fathers, and we thought that perhaps having a man’s perspective would help a father somewhere. So, go make a cup of tea, sit in a comfy spot, and take the time to read his story…
