@kiripritchardmc thank you for an amazing show in Ed last night! Wish I’d shared my home econ cooking tale at the time - we were given kangaroo steaks and told to mince them for spag bol. So many people ran off to vomit and jammed the mincers that we ran out of time to cook it!

By telling your child it’s hide and seek time!

When Chris and I decided to have a baby I really didn’t think negotiating over how many times it is acceptable to open and close a kitchen draw would be a daily occurrence. Or that it would involve so much crying. #toddlerlife

@RosieWaterland just heard you give a shout out to Patrick Lenton and his Bachelor recaps - I knew him back in the Wollongong Uni days and he’s always been bloody hilarious 👌🏻

TU: how many teeth does he have?
M: *nervous* still just six.
TU: oh really? Just six. Interesting.
M: *panicking* we’re fine with six. We don’t ne-
TU: HAVE FOUR AT ONCE.

Proof that lighting and a good camera make all the difference 😂

Well-meaning stranger on the street: it must be great working from home with him so small. You could just pop him down with some toys and get on with it.

Me: haha. Hahahahahaha. Hahaha. *cries*

My one year old is actually an extremely moody teenager 😬

After a full day of waking up early, playing with the baby, feeding him, starting work, cleaning the kitchen, finishing work, bathing the baby, putting him to bed, and enjoying a glass of wine I was infuriated when the neighbours played loud music so late at night.
It was 6.30...

Here’s the thing about baby proofing your kitchen cupboards - you, the parent, constantly forget you’ve done it and it takes twice as long to make a bowl of cereal. #babyproofing

@WineandCrimePod I give you the hairdressers underneath my flat in Edinburgh, Scotland. #dorcas
