About Me

Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!

Not that one!

A think I thought today was that I am going to have a devils own job to persuade my daughter that sometimes mummy knows best.

Last night Miss D and I ventured into the depths of a local retail emporium. Now Miss D usually has a small massive hissy fit at any kind of retail therapy involving clothing, which is a great shame as I love it, however tonight she decided she has an opinion and it should count!!!!

As she has had a growth spurt she needs lots of new things (any excuse) I was wandering around looking at things with a little voice beside me going " not that one mummy" she self selected a small selection of pretty flowery dresses and presented them with "this one please"

The ensuing argument over the practical clothes I had chosen and the pretty frocks she wanted was hilarious after all you can't compromise with a 2 year old,  can you? Obviously I won putting the dresses back and buying the things I had chosen and then when we arrived at Nana's she was proudly saying " look what me got" guess her memory is still short!

I am now imagining the years to come and the arguments over clothes. Bring it on LOL
