Little things I picked along the way
​
Welcome to my wee blog. I write it as I have found that us Mums don't talk about stuff enough!
I have been on both sides, the know it all ( Nanny ) and the new Mum ( Mammy ).
I hope to share my experiences and knowledge of both.
The first year's blogs have moved to my books website
www.allthesmallthingsbook.com
Year Two and Year Three are here.
Thank you for reading it
