The opportunity to say something nice about somewhere you really like is extremely appealing. When I’m blogging properly I do link to businesses I love just for… erm.. love but when Notcutts offered me a voucher to review the brand new garden and home website, I couldn’t turn it down really. Apart from anything else, […]

Challenge: New Me
With 6 babies all grown and born and birthed, we can say with a fair degree of certainty that I’m not looking quite the (ahem) svelte young thing that I once was. *cough* Well, I’m 1 1/2 stone heavier than I was shortly before I got pregnant with Fran which is perhaps not all that […]
School Life Lessons #homeworkfail
There are some lessons that my daughters are learning pretty quickly about me. a)I don’t iron and therefore if you leave your uniform in a heap, you (not me) will get bellowed at by your headmistress the next day. b) I don’t do instant, so if you tell me about a school trip/lunch money/ sports […]
Sponsored Guest Post : Managing Life during a Cohabitation Break Up
The following post is a hosted sponsored guest post and I have received payment for it’s placement. A long time ago, I was once in the position of knowing I could not afford to leave if I couldn’t resolve a relationship crisis and so this topic is close enough to my heart for me to […]
Questions about home educating with Quib.ly
The good people of Quib.ly invited me to get involved in a conversation about home educating and why/how people decide to do such a thing. Quib.ly is a parenting and technology site which aims to link parents up with answers to their questions by accessing knowledge from other parents. It’s a really interesting, innovative site […]
Note on the Palace Door
As you can imagine, it has been a HUGE few weeks. All the school starting is going okay, with bumps and tears along the way – but mostly okay. Today we bought Amelie’s uniform and got her inducted into her new school for September. At least the school run will reduce to 2 schools then […]
Review: Didicar's are Fantastic :)
We first met a Didicar in the hallway of the Bean’s house, some years ago. They do have a biggish (and conveniently wooden floored) hallway, which made it a good place to drive one and I was impressed at the fun that was had with what at first glance seemed to be just a ride […]
The End.
And then Tuesday came and with it, the end of a way of life and the end of a blog life. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But it does all feel a little dramatic, though I am trying hard not to BE dramatic about it. You can forgive me a momentary blog flounce perhaps 😉 […]
The biggest thing about today
Today was the day that Maddy, the child who ended up being home educated for the longest, started school. She had a great day; she came home full of stories and thoughts and interest. I think she went at just the right time and like her sisters before her, she seems to have made a […]
Right Where I Am: Three Years, Two Months
The yearly check in with grief via Still Life with Circles has become fundamental to me. I have waited for it to come around again yet now I wonder what thoughts to write. If I say “Life is good”, I feel the eyes of the boy who isn’t on my back. Imagining myself walking on, […]
