The last two weeks have been little short of a feeding frenzy. Sometimes Ben has gone for 8 solid hour feeds, screaming the house down if I even go to the loo. We have gots bit more of a routine going, we’ve even had a day out and he and I are lucky that I […]

St Patrick's Day round up.
Continuing in my theme of always being behind, here is a round up of the crafts we ended up having fun with for St Patrick’s Day. We did manage to find out a bit about the real story too, mostly because Amelie uttered the importal #homeedfail sentence….. “What’s that story about St Patrick and the […]
Building it up with Lego.
Like I said below, I’ve been setting the girls little Lego challenges over the last week. I hadn’t seen the Legoquest blog someone linked to in the comments below which was exactly what I was looking for to inspire me (doh, I am hopeless at successful google-ing); I wanted a Lego equivalent to Sketch Tuesday. […]
Gonna build a house.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been setting the girls a daily Lego challenge to try and stretch their ingenuity a little. They love their Lego but tend to want to build to plans from kits or make floor plans of buildings and play within those. That’s fine so far as it goes, but […]
Mother's Day
It’s really not about expensive gifts. Handmade cards, a present made with love, a specially laid table with menus and croissants for breakfast. Mother’s Day came and went easier this year, though it’s best not looked too hard at. Easiest to think not of what I have or don’t have but of what being a […]
Getting school life taped.
We are approaching the end of the 2nd term of having one child in school, unless you peddle in the pointless currency of 6 term years like this school does. I’m not sure that was worth the effort of rebranding personally; I only work in 3 terms and I suspect it will go the way […]
Daffodils at WedEd
Wednesday this week marked a a big improvement in things generally. Not only was I able to drive myself to WedEd or the first time since having Ben but he was also manageable enough for me to be able to get on with being part of the educational offerings again.So this week I brought “Daffodils” […]
Sponsored Video: Start the Conversation about Alcohol
Max and I had very different childhoods. I was still playing with my Barbies (secretly!) at 16 while he had been partying very hard indeed for some time by that age. I came from a household where taboo subjects stayed taboo, whether alcohol or sex or anything in-between and had a curfew of midnight even […]
Lego Friends Range Review
There has been a good deal of debate recently about the new Lego Friends range, a role-play style, very pink range of Lego aimed primarily at girls. Much of that debate centred more, in fact, on the decision to alter girl magazine subscriptions to a girl version, which didn’t go down well, but the Lego […]
A Weekend in 4×4 Photos
We had a lovely weekend. When we got to the end of of it I was able to send this tweet:- “Crafting done, TKD belt earned, rugby played, PDF published, milk pumped, baby slinged and fed, walk had, knitting achieved. Good day.” I thought that was fairly productive really. Saturday was the normal round of […]
