Why Blog Mummy Blogs?
So I thought maybe I would write a blog, but everyone keeps asking me why...
That, dear reader, is a very good question. Perhaps because I fancy myself as Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame. Although in flatter shoes. Having a lot less sex. And living in a suburban back water. Or perhaps because I am trapped at home caring for my treasured offspring (to be known heretofore as CK) and in desperate need of something to do.
Indeed, after 4 months of motherhood I have decided I need something more in my life. I want to give something back to the wider world (something more than just another rise in the over population figures); I don’t imagine that I can uplift, support or advise… I just hope that I can give you something to do at your desk at work while you are killing time 'til the weekend rolls around. Ah yes, I remember those days. In the immortal words of my muse Carrie, I couldn’t help but wonder whether another mummy blog is something the world requires. I guess only time will tell.

Why Blog Granny Blogs?
Well I guess because I want to let any mums of small babies who may read this know that the years between birth and, “mum, can I borrow your car?” will go so fast that it makes your eyes blurr and your teeth itch, and that it is possible to survive them – just.
A day spent with a gummy, immobile, unspeaking, totally dependant infant can seem frighteningly interminable. When those days stretch out before you to a seemingly endless future horizon and you find yourself doing the glazed seven-mile stare of the living dead, after only four hours sleep, it can seem like a life sentence! But take it from one who has been there and done that, and believe me when I tell you that time will speed up as your child grows and very soon you will hear; “mum, this is my first boyfriend; mum, I’m getting married; mum, I’m pregnant; mum, here is your granddaughter….” And if I’m blogging, that’s because having a child keeps you in touch with the world for the rest of your life.
