Guest Post: On having children

May 25, 2017 by NunntheWiser

Today I am excited to bring you my first ever guest post on the blog. Take it away, sir. *** I never wanted to have children. I just never saw them as part of my life. I saw them as something that would interfere with the things I loved most in my life (great food, … [Read more…]

Review: Miller and Carter Family Fun (or How to Get Banned from your Local Restaurant)

May 21, 2017 by NunntheWiser

We live on a new-build estate, which currently doesn’t have much in the way of facilities. Excitingly, a new Miller and Carter restaurant opened up last week actually on the estate (number of facilities in our area since the restaurant has arrived: 1) and, even better, they were offering 50% off to go to one … [Read more…]

Capital Idea

The underground wind whisked around me as it always had, as it always would. The scent of London’s tube network is unique; part soot and grime, part ambition and possibility. It still smells of home.

Bearing Up

May 8, 2017 by NunntheWiser

“I have the best news, EVER,” EldestGirl triumphantly announced last week. Thoughts of fast-track scholarships to boarding schools flashed briefly through my mind, followed by free ponies and a lottery win. Before remembering she was four years old. “Next week,” she continues, “it is my week to bring home Duffy Bear.” Fuck. Duffy Bear is … [Read more…]

Slipping Standards

May 3, 2017 by NunntheWiser

In some ways, YoungestGirl has had a better parenting experience than EldestGirl did. Since she was born, I haven’t been out of the house to work (though I do work from home a reasonable amount, so she doesn’t get 100% undivided attention). I am able to make our day-to-day schedule meet her needs more than … [Read more…]
