Amy Ransom

This is me. According to my five year old. She's got the hair right but I really hope my nose doesn't look like that. I'm the keeper of two small people of the girl variety, Beaver (5) and Godivy (3) and a recent addition, The Boy (0). Navigating the world of willies has come as something of a surprise. When I'm not on maternity leave, three days a week I'm a PA in a magazine company or a biscuit arranger, as my husband likes to tell people. I've run a marathon just to see if I could. At mile 20 I decided that labour was less painful. Since giving birth again I would like to retract that. I write about life and motherhood. Things like why I don't have a bathroom bin, and what every woman should know about motherhood before they join. And all the other bits I haven't blocked out. I've been told I make other mums feel better. Yes, that's how much of a disastrous one I am. So if you ever feel a bit like me, you're in good company here. I've also written a book, Up the Duff without a Paddle. Bet you can't guess what that's about. If you enjoy what you read here, please pop over to Facebook or Twitter to say hi. Give a high five. Or leave a fabulous recipe for chocolate brownies. Because I love reading all your comments and hearing how you get through the day. Gin at 4.00 PM, you say... oh go on then.
