Tick tock, goes the clock.

September 27, 2012 by

Dear Bene, And now you are eight months. I was so buy last month that I didn't even write you a letter, though I did write about your first holiday. Sorry about that. You keep me pretty buy these days little man and everything else has needed attention too, the house, your sisters and life. […]

Re-vaulting change.

September 25, 2012 by

If you are a long term reader, you’ll know that by and large, with a few additional activities thrown into the mix, dance and gym are the absolute loves of my children’s lives. Dance, singing things, playing things, performing but gym plays a huge part in their happiness for three of them. The other girl […]

The tearing hair look not so good then.

I have to go clothes shopping next week. I reckon nearly anyone else *in the whole world* (that’s official, I did a survey) would be really excited about this but although I am excited about having a night out and a new outfit to wear, I’m truly dreading the process of shopping. I’m hopeless at […]

Not the language post I planned to write today.

September 21, 2012 by

But you know what, this one is more important. Because when I came across this literacy set in a toy shop today, I just wanted to cry. What the hell is something like this doing in a shop, alongside keywords, sight words and literacy in the 21st century? How can it possibly be that anyone, […]

Cousins.

September 17, 2012 by

My sister came to stay for the weekend, with her 4 little squidlets. We had a lovely, if hectic, weekend and you can tell because we hardly took any photos at all. But there was Strictly watching and much baby worship and pom pom making and Lego and giggly late night getting to sleep for […]

Finished it Friday: the horrible home knit.

September 13, 2012 by

Ever since Max first pulled me in his MGB, I've occasionally had to play second fiddle in his heart to weekends like this one. My husband has a secret, one which means he spends his evening thumbing through magazines with scantily clad ladies in them and likes to go and stare at oiled and shiny […]

Autumn in Hama Beads… again :)

September 11, 2012 by

I’ve seen this idea pop up on Pinterest a few times and was desperate to have a go and see if it really was as easy as it looks. Seems like a great fun way to use up mixed up Hama Beads. Today we had the beads out to make a whole heap of pictures […]

Make the best of it.

September 9, 2012 by

The girls were away this weekend. In the olden days, we relished a weekend off but these days we miss them when they aren't here. They're such good company. Plus of course, it meant Max and I were a two man tag team keeping the amazing non-napping boy occupied 🙂 We took him to visit […]
