Oh Happy Day! 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦 We’ve heard him for the last couple of weeks tempting us from afar but could never find him, then just when we had given up . . .

A Rant (I'm not sorry): Today my lovely little man wanted to wear his sisters fancy dress. I didn't see the problem both Makayla and I were wearing dresses so just thought he wanted to be the same. I can not believe how many horrid comments I've had from people. From 'Isn't he supposed to be a boy' to accusing me of wrong doing 'Why would you do that to him' 'You should get him his own dressing up' 'What is her wearing?' 'You should say no'. My boy is brought up in a house of female role models, he saw his mummy and his sister wearing a dress and wanted to join in. He isn't 'gay' I'm not determining his future, nor will I make him be bullied. Children see and do, he often takes my make up dresses and does his cheeks, he also loves a dolly and a pram. BUT he also loves mud, sticks, climbing, football and cars. Me telling MY son he can not wear an outfit is only punishing him. Why would I punish my son, you can't play with that you can't wear that. Why? Because some awful people have decided My son isn't allowed to be whatever and who ever he wants? He's my son, not yours I will allow him to play whatever he wants and he is free to just be a kid, exploring everything around him that he finds interesting. It's 2017 the world is changing, let kids be kids! #mummysboy #mumrant #momrant #letkidsbe #letkidsbekids #lettoysbetoys #childrenofthefuture

No Rant is too Big, No Blog is too Small!

No Rant is too Big, No Blog is too Small!

If you have a child under the age of seven, you probably recognise the names Rocky, Chase, Marshall…. and the others, whatever their names are. Otherwise known as the Paw Patrol, a group of pups who save the day in Adventure Bay, lead by ten year old Ryder.

I don’t know why this wretched show became a thing in my show, but alas it is here. Day after day, I am treated with catchy phrases such as…

Damn it @marcanthonyhairau .... I have raved endlessly about #strictlycurls but now it betrays me :( the whole thing has snapped off and now it's a complicated hold, twist and press system to get it to work, and I end up with it everywhere :( it's still got more than half in it too :( I'm unreasonably upset about this, I love this stuff, don't love cleaning the mess (and waste) that ended up all over the counter. #broken #snapped #plastic #mysanity #curls #naturalcurls #mess #upset #foam #hair #mysanityjustgone #badhairday #marcanthonyhair #haircare #butitsmyfavourite #mumlife #momlife #mumsofinstagram #momsofinstagram #mumrant #momrant #bugger #nothappyjan

The music industry failed me

I just wanna say, I feel totally ripped off and failed by the music industry. 

Growing up, I was prepared for; being cheated on and heartbreak, getting drunk high and having good bad sex (thanks Lonely Island) dancing all night, being a bit crazy, losing someone, exploring new worlds, amazing summers, falling in love and growing old.

But can anyone out there please direct me to the songs that were supposed to prepare me for pregnancy, giving birth, motherhood and just all of the insane shit that comes with bringing a new life into the world?

Where’s my song to put on when my son is screaming, I’m waist deep in washing and am just needing to cry it out? Where’s my T-swizzle banger to get me pumped up for another LABORIOUS day of feeding, changing, playing and forever trying-to-get-a-newborn-to-sleep? I guess I can’t really blame Taylor, she’s not there yet but what about all these other female artists with children? Beyonce? Pink? Gwen? I’d even go for a Spice Girls reunion album “The lack of Spice in your life with children” (she says as if that wouldn’t be the best thing ever!) at this point. 

I honestly think it’s a missed opportunity and if I could sing a single note in tune I’d be out there cashing up. What else do stay-at-home parents do all day people? We sit on our phones and fucking shop. We can’t go anywhere anymore... we literally can’t even move out of the rocking chair with this baby finally asleep on us. We are your market. I would be chucking my wireless headphones in and pumping my mummy or daddy motivational playlist “just keep rocking, rocking” - if only it existed! 

Anyway, that’s my #mumrant for the day. I do so love my baby boy, but man as all parents out there know - it’s fucking hard sometimes and some relatable tunes would really help out right about now.

“You can’t run like that,” says Mum at once.

“Yes I can.”

“No you can’t. Don’t you have any athletic shorts?”

“Athletic shorts?”

Frank’s look of disdain is so terrible, I give a snort.

“What’s wrong with athletic shorts?” says Mum defensively. “That’s the trouble with you young people. You’re closed-minded. You’re prejudiced.”

You young people. Three words which signal that a Mumrant is coming. I look at her from the sitting room doorway and sure enough, the other signs are building. Her eyes are full of thoughts…she clearly has things to say…she’s breathing fast…

And bingo.

“You know, Frank, you only get one body!” She turns on him. “You have to treasure it! You have to take care of it! And what worries me is you seem to have no idea about health, no idea about fitness—all you want to eat is junk…”

“We’ll have robotic body-part replacements by the time we’re your age,” says Frank, unmoved. “So.”

“Do you know how many people your age have diabetes?” Mum continues. “Do you know how many teens these days are obese? And don’t even get me started on heart problems.”

“OK, I won’t get you started on heart problems,” says Frank mildly, which seems to enrage her.

“And you know what it is? It’s all the fault of these evil screens. Some children your age can’t even get up off the couch!”

“How many?” retorts Frank.

“What?” Mum looks at him, puzzled.

“How many children my age can’t even get up off the couch? Because that sounds like... Source from: Read Finding Audrey(12) online free by Sophie Kinsella

I am so terribly sorry that this wasn't the daughter you'd asked for. Excuse me while I go exchange myself for the better model.
