Tales of geeky parenting

Starting a New Tradition

December 24, 2010 by geekmummy Leave a Comment

Christmas is all about traditions. I have carried many of the traditions I experienced growing up to my own family. I love that the geekdaughter is now old enough to learn and enjoy our traditions. And this year, we’re starting a new tradition – new pyjamas for Christmas Eve. I know a lot of my […]

TED talk: Let’s Talk Parenting Taboos

December 23, 2010 by geekmummy 3 Comments

I love TED. They publish so many uplifting, interesting and inspiring talks by amazing people. Every time I watch a TED talk video I enjoy it. A friend linked to this one on Facebook today, and I wanted to share it. The geekdaddy and I tend to break a lot of parenting taboos – it’s […]

Decorating the tree together

December 22, 2010 by geekmummy 4 Comments

Last year I had a lovely Christmas, and I particularly enjoyed being able to share it with a toddler. It was the first year the geekdaughter really had any idea what was going on, and we started setting all those little Christmas traditions for the years to come. We put the decorations up, we had […]

Apparently I’ve not quite got the hang of Christmas yet either!

December 10, 2010 by geekmummy 1 Comment

I’ve already written about the problems I had getting the geekdaughter to keep a secret from the geekdaddy. Well, today there was another development in the saga. As we came back from the aforementioned shopping trip, and she dashed into the bedroom to spill the beans on what we had bought, I had to think […]

Second Child Syndrome: Must Not Be Complacent

December 4, 2010 by geekmummy 1 Comment

I’ve been very pleased with how much more relaxed I am with second-time-around Mummyhood. I don’t make any secret of the fact that I found things very difficult when the geekdaughter was tiny, and the way that I coped was to read lots of books and Internet forums and then drive myself crazy trying to balance […]

She’s not quite got the hang of Christmas yet…

December 1, 2010 by geekmummy 5 Comments

I was out with the geekdaughter yesterday, just the two of us. She had a dentists appointment, which she thankfully behaved very well for, and afterwards we popped into the local supermarket to pick up a few things, primarily a bag of carrots, as we needed one to make a nose for our snowman! In […]

Second Child Syndrome: Weaning

November 23, 2010 by geekmummy 1 Comment

We started weaning the geekdaughter at 6 months. To the day. As per current guidelines. In all honesty she was showing signs of being ready from about 5 months, and we kept her going to 6 months by using “hungry baby” formula milk and my own stubbornness. Prior to the big day, I read all […]

Review: Lazy Larry Lizard for iPad and iPhone

November 21, 2010 by geekmummy 2 Comments

I’m still on the quest to find decent children’s books for iBooks or Kindle, as previously mentioned. I’ve not had any success with that, but there are an increasing number of books being released as “Stand-alone” apps, and there are some great ones out there. I can’t remember how I found Lazy Larry Lizard for […]
