A bit of self promotion...

Just a quick post to say I have added an extra page to my blog with some information on the site I run with my friend Anna.

We are called Two Birds Craft and we make lots of pretty things - crochet critters, jewellery, felt items and baby accessories to name a few!

If you'd like to check us out, please see the Two Birds Craft tab for more information!


Rain rain go away!

This weather is pants isn't is?

Last week I think we had one whole day where it wasn't tipping it down!

I didn't used to mind rain, sure I didn't love it but it didn't bother me half as much as it does now.

When you have a baby, everything takes longer - you can't just run to your car and drive off with just a few drops of rain on you.

The getting into the car routine of a parent is a bit more like this:

  • remove baby from pushchair.
  • unload humungous amount of shopping bags from pushchair after it has tipped over due to baby being removed and no longer counter-balancing the weight.
  • fold up pushchair (depending on make and model time and amounts of cursing varies).
  • forget where keys are.
  • find keys.
  • get in car.
  • remember you've left your ticket to get out of the carpark in the boot. *
  • retrieve ticket.
  • get back in car.
  • calm down crying baby.
  • drive home!


Anyway, as you can probably tell- having a baby has really made me dislike the rain!!

On a more serious note; worryingly our part of the UK has had severe weather warnings and quite a few places near me have had floods. The road next to my mum's was even on BBC news.



So if you have been affected by this horrible rain then please take care out there! Let's hope it disappears very soon!

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my new space on the web.

I'm still tweaking it at the moment so please be assured it will start to improve in looks over the next few days!

Here's a bit about me to read for the time being:

I have previously blogged here and here, but fancied starting afresh and finally doing this properly, rather than dipping in and out like I used to!

Anyway, my name is Jennie and I am a twenty-something mother of one.
I have a little girl who is 16 months old and is in my opinion the best little person ever!
 Me and her dad have been together for 8 years now but are yet to tie the knot. He proposed 4 years ago now, but what with mortgage and babies we haven't really got round to planning it, and I don't actually think I poses the "bride gene" - so this hasn't helped matters!

Now, please please do not think, that because the name of this blog is "The of Jennie" that you are going to be reading extraordinarily good, mind enlightening, life changing material - you won't. I just really couldn't decide what to call my blog, and I like Narnia - so there!

I will mostly be posting about our daily lives and what we get up to, with the occasional product review and link to other blogs/sites I'm enjoying! 

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy it!
