I remember writing a long time ago that I knew one day posts about Freddie on here would fade away. It was the early days then, right at the beginning – but I knew even then that the desperate pain and grief would not always be something I could find and write new feelings about… […]

What I really learned at Cybher.
Last weekend I went to a conference designed for bloggers. I’ve been before to similar (as blogged previously when I went to BlogCamp and Cybermummy) but CybHer was designed specifically in response (I think) to some people feeling dissatisfied with Cybermummy being a little, shall we say, superficial. I sat next to Sian (CybHer’s erm.. […]
Klimt inspired art.
I needed a shove today to get creative (actually, I needed several shoves just to get upright 🙁 ) and thankfully Maggie from Red Ted Art came through with her new Kids Get Arty linky. As an aside, Maggie did a lovely guest post for me on MuddlePuddle the other week, which is a really […]
Wibble wobble, all fall down.
Sometimes being a home educator is completely brilliant. Sometimes is just one extra thing to beat myself with. Right now baby Ben is asleep in bed, which is a good thing as last night I somehow put my back out and, despite costly trip to the osteopath this morning, I can barely move at all. […]
Hard won happy.
It was not possible to overcome the wanting. The wanting brought a foolish mistake and a serious error of judgement. The error of judgement brought our world crashing down. That crashed ended in a room and £30 a week and arguments and learning to talk, learning to forgive, learning to be grown ups. Learning to […]
A funny thing happened on the way home from Cybher.
London did not behave as expected yesterday. Despite my reservations, it was delightful in the morning, light, airy and quiet and full. It reminded me of the city I lived in once that I really loved. Kings Cross, in its new, glorious sparkling form was radiant. I had a grin on my face. People smiled […]
Give it some love (blogging about blogging).
I do try not to. But this has been an awesome (to quote Josie) week. I was included in a round up of educational posts, proving beyond doubt that cakes on plates is the way forward and I should be Minister for Maths. (There is no point telling me you have to be good at […]
Amelie is 10.
Today our beautiful Amelie turned 10. She drives us mad, our Amelie. She’s a bundle of so many things, so many infuriating things. I can sum her up in a list of words: funny, feisty, fabulous, fearsome, ferocious, flawed, focused. You can guarantee to find her slap in the middle of any fight in the […]
The shame of the failed housewife…
One of my dirty little secrets is that I have a cleaner. I’m deeply embarrassed about this really but for reasons I can’t explain on the blog, I can’t actually stop having one. It’s a left over of the days when running the business, having lots of home educated children, a house new enough to […]
Science in kit form.
The girls and I have made a pledge to have used every single kit in the house by the end of the summer. We are far too guilty of hoarding nice things to do rather than actually doing them. I’m also desperate to get some stuff out of our house; the planned conservatory is unlikely […]
