The Mad House of Cats & Babies is 6 years old! We’ve been sharing our journey from when my small boy stopped sleeping and I needed a place to just get the stresses of motherhood off my chest to a family blog where we write about family life and beyond. It’s been a wild and […]

Jaded with Instagram…
Yup, it’s another person moaning about Instagram. Because we need one more voice having a whine. But it’s Friday and I haven’t done a Friday Rant for a while, so I am letting loose. We all know by now (and if you don’t you clearly live under a social media free rock, somewhere, which is […]

I didn’t set out to be a helicopter parent but suddenly I am one…?
I am not generally a helicopter parent. I am the mum at the park that doesn’t follow her kids round, fussing over them, I let my tweenager stay home for short periods of time, unsupervised, and I don’t feel like I need to be on top of my kids 24/7. I myself grew up with […]
