My 8 y/o daughter has just placed her book (Dork Diaries) down quietly, put the covers over her head and screamed/kicked her legs with excitement that the crush in the book finally gave the main character flowers & I swear I felt every romance reader as a collective rise up & rejoice with her 🥲

I will always be convinced that no meal will ever taste as good as the pasta puttanesca Violet makes from all the spaghetti in the old dusty kitchen drawer on A Series of Unfortunate Events

My 13 y/o son & I were standing next to each other in the kitchen making dinner together & at the same time we turned to look at each other, both gasped, & he said, “omg mum, I can see the top of your head. I’m taller than you”. I cried 😭😂 It really does happen slowly & all at once, doesn’t it? 🥹

Have started putting meals in those big individual Yorkshire puddings you can buy. It’s a bowl. You can eat it. You’re welcome.

Shoutout to all the parents whose Spotify wrapped top five looks a bit like

1. White noise
2. Gentle white noise
3. Sleep easy white noise :)
4. White noise baby sleep
5. Rain sounds for kids 10 hours looped

Good morning! Thank you so much for the follows, lovely to see some familiar faces (and some new ones). ❤️

8 year old: I don’t believe it’s really the elf on a shelf who moves around in the night by itself.
Me: no? How do you think it happens then?
8 year old: Parasites.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Hello. Have a picture of my cat smiling in a bow tie that he is probably deep down utterly enraged and demoralised by.
