So, on the dot this morning, MyItchyBoy woke up and was instantly wide awake – in that annoying way that kids are. He was quickly demanding breakfast and I was trying to delay getting out from under the covers: Me: What do you want for breakfast? MyItchyBoy: Parent noses Me: ! MyItchyBoy: *grin* Me: […]
For Crying Out Loud!
It’s nice when kids laugh at your jokes. Especially when you can get away with the really lame ones. However, MyItchyBoy nearly really rolled on the floor laughing tonight at shower time. It wasn’t a joke though. There was water shooting out everywhere and soaking the floor. Obviously channelling my mother, I exclaimed ‘For crying […]
Only good reactions to good music
Something a little bit different. I thought that I might introduce you to something that should only give you a good reaction. Each of these bands or musicians have personal experience of anaphylaxis and allergic reactions. Just sharing the love and joy of life when not having to worry about what you’re eating or touching.

Travelling on the Tubilee line
This week has been a bit of a tough one. Dealing with an eczema flare up is never fun. Having to look at a spotty boy, temper the number of ‘please don’t scratch’ in an hour and applying endless layers of cream take it out on all of us. My chuckle this week came from […]
Sticker fun
As recommended by MotherWifeMe, we decided on a wee adventure up to London today to the Obliteration Room at Tate Modern. It was good to see that the adults, teens and toddlers in the room were all enjoying it as much as each other. So simple, but such fun.
