This weekend was the return of the Level 6 gym competition; it was a big day for all three gym girls. Josie was determined to be top of the pile, having had to miss doing Level 5 for this year because a couple of moves just weren’t ready and Amelie, who hadn’t competed for 3 […]
The Gallery: Yellow
We went to the library, to see the lady read the books – and she read some books about Spot. Oh Spot… you and I have been friends a long, long time now. And afterwards, they do drawing. And he picked up the yellow pen and, with great deliberation, drew a yellow circle. And […]
Sponsored Video: Choosing wisely for a bright future.
We flowed from the high of GCSE results day to the final decision on what Sixth Form Fran would attend, to last minute tweaks and changes to A Level choices and the scheduling in of enrichment activities around personal commitments. And all of it, for the first time, was judged up against the future. Lists […]
Countdown to Christmas.
This week I have realised with horror that all my Christmas sparkle has totally disappeared. I have no idea what to buy my children, I have nothing I want, there is nothing we need (except more time and money and you can’t buy either of those!) and Christmas is sneaking up so fast that I […]
The Perfect Picnic.
At the beginning of the summer, just before our perfect holiday in Devon, we took a trip down to our local park to get us back in the habit of spending time together. It was entirely impromptu, with no grand food plans and very few wonderful photos. But in the soft heat of the end […]
If you wanna be a record breaker…….. yeah….. #GWR60
Last week Maddy and I had the wonderful good luck to join some (not all, just some) of my very favourite bloggers at the Guinness World Records 60th birthday bash. It’s not often a bloggy event comes up that I know is just perfect for Maddy but with her love of the extra-ordinary, her fixation […]
How Healthy Are You? #spon
16 years ago I watched my new husband give up smoking for good on the arrival of our first baby daughter. It seemed to be easy for him to do so, perhaps because he has a very black and white personality that doesn’t seem to argue with it’s own decisions internally. If only I could […]
And now she is 10.
My youngest little girl is ten. One of my friends said something yesterday that I’ve been thinking all week. When my big girls were ten, they were practically grown up. Josie is still just a baby. Surely, she is still just a baby? But she isn’t. She is, as all ten years old girls are, […]
Almost 3.
He’s almost three. It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when he wasn’t firmly at the centre of the family. He talks ALL the time now. When he doesn’t know the word he find a way round it. When he can’t get us to do his […]
What would I do with £100,000? #ad
Do you remember being small and dreaming of a million pounds, the endless riches that would bring, the countless riches that would be? Such riches. And then, growing up, inflation, reality and now, the horrible realisation that even if I had One. Million.Pounds it would only actually just cover the cost of the lovely small […]
