The other day someone offered to let me interview a ‘stylist’ on my blog. I was sat in the hospital with Amelie at the time, her leg up to the knee in plaster looking (as she always does) like a model while wearing a pair of scruffy shorts and an old t-shirt. I told her […]

Proud Parent Moments; School, Gym, Life.
So we reached the end of term with all four girls in school. It’s been a big half term, what with one thing and another. Fran is (thankfully) on the mend from her op and against all the odd the hole that developed in her palate has pulled back together. She’s still got some way […]
How to have a Fashion Design Birthday Party
I’m notoriously bad at organising birthday parties for my children, I think I have done about 4 in all of their lives. But when we got offered a Harumika Party Pack to review, Amelie got her wish – a birthday party for the school friends she was about to part company with that was all […]
Day trip to #venturecove at Elveden Center Parcs
You might remember that I mentioned in my Center Parcs review that the kids play area at Elveden had been closed for refurbishment. Last week we were invited back by Centerparcs to see what they had done with it, to turn it into Venture Cove, the new activity spot for kids and families within the […]
Monkey Do
He was playing on the floor at work this week, engrossed in two plastic cars off the stock shelves and a box of shredded paper. Perfect play fodder for a little boy. Cars and mess. We were both smiling at him and watching him play. Distracted, he looked up and reached for a different toy. […]
It's not beautiful, but it is mine.
I’ve been trying to lose weight, after a fairly hideous scales moment where I saw a number I never wanted to see. My physical self confidence has been slithering away pretty hard and fast lately, to the point where it is affecting more parts of my life than I care to write out loud. I […]
Weekend Stuff
This is like blogging in the olden days. I’ve got time just to put ‘stuff’ up here. All the girls are at school, the boy has fallen asleep and I can just put up some photos of a nice weekend in the garden. (Actually I’m having a frightened moment, I have no idea what to […]
A little light crafting.
Ah. back on form with some easy pun titles. I just wrote this post once and it failed to save and left no draft. I’m totally cheesed off now. Here is my pretty little button lampshade. I’m trying a new tack to help keep my 40 day cluttering working long term. Not surprisingly clutter has […]
Sponsored Post: Support your teen gaining their independence
If your kids are growing into teens you’re probably wondering where the time has gone. Whether it’s make up, parties or cars they’re into, these changes will take a bit of getting used to. Growing up can be a challenging time for both teens and parents, but it’s also an exciting time, where they’re […]
Watch Out… Lady Driver.
For a long time, surrounded by far more politically astute friends, I worried (in my spare time) about the fact that I almost totally failed to be rampant and outraged by lots of the -isms that my peers and friends knew lots about. It gnawed at me, for example, that I didn’t seem to be […]
