It happened. I’m not crazy about the idea but I knew the time would eventually come. The boy who took 4 days to vacate the premises, after induction, has turned 5. FIVE! I know it’s something alot of parents say, but I honestly have no idea where the time went. One minute I’m neck deep in bottles, nappies, the tiniest wee baby clothes and the next I’ve got this lanky, tall, attitude of a 13 year old, 5 year old boy. Whilst I do tear up at the idea (alot), I am looking forward to the new adventures with a school age child. Well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway…

World On Our Plate Review
If you’ve been on my Facebook or Instagram lately, you’ll know something major has happened in the imnotsupermum household in the last few weeks. No I’m not pregnant (hell no! Lol), my big boy has turned 5 and has started school! Waaaa! Like a lot of mums I know, I am not a morning person. So add making lunches and homework to the already long list of things to do before leaving home at 8.15AM, and I’m a blabbering mess at the end of the day. Unfortunately, dinner can’t be magically pulled out of the fridge/freezer (I’ve tried) and takeaways every night just seemed a bit ridiculous and not entirely…

Hot-Seat : Creation Station NZ + Giveaway
As with many mums these days, if I’m not running after the kids or doing household chores, I’m online. Whilst social media can be a great waster of time, it’s also a great way to find out more about what’s happening around me. Cos, let’s face it, these days if it’s not on social media it didn’t happen 😛 I’ve been lucky enough to meet many members from the talented mum & dads club. Some in real life, but most in the online world. In the Business Hot-Seat series, I hope to introduce you to some of these innovative and talented people. P.S If you’d like to be featured in…

Favourite Books for June 2016
Books have always been a big part of my kids lives, so it’s only natural that book reviews become part of the imnotsupermum blog 🙂 Almost every night, both kids get a bedtime book read to them by DH. For the moment, it’s one book for both of them with each picking the book every alternate night (unless they’re being ultra disagreeable then DH or I pick), which means we should get through around 25 books at bedtime a month! It would be 25 different books but as anyone with kids knows it’s usually 1 book 25 times! Sigh. So for the first reviews for our bedtime book series, these…

Adventures with Daddy – Book Review
Adventures with Daddy is a cute book about a young boy and the adventures he goes on with daddy. The book is told from the point of view of the child, which makes for quite funny reading for both kids and parents 🙂 It’s a good book to discuss with the kids what’s going on, as the illustrations were easy for them to understand. Adventures with Daddy is an easy read for both my toddler and preschooler, and is just the right length to hold the toddlers attention 🙂 Both DH and I love the end of the book, and it rightly depicts what happens in our household after a…

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt – Book Review
Books have always been a big part of my kids lives, starting from a very young age. We’re going on a bear hunt was the first bedtime book ever bought for Master A. Well actually it was bought by myself for DH as his first Father’s Day present, as he remembered reading it as an older kid. From about 3 months old, it was the only bedtime book that Master A had. As he grew older and could say more words, he would join in with daddy to make the various sounds in the book (talk about heart melting cuteness 😍). The book starts with a family going on a…
