Victoria Britain was one of my heart-throb history eras as a child; I lapped up anything that harked back to Dickensian times or just after. I loved stories from when kids were either banged up in the workhouse or an orphanage or held hostage in the nursery at the top of the house. I loved […]
Bostik Blogger Autumn Craft.
Autumn has tumbled upon us in a rush and far from mellow mists and fruitfulness, it has mostly brought bugs and snuffles and a general sense of “gaaaaaaah, bring back summer!” This did mean that I had the company of various of my children for the last two weeks which has many positives and some […]
Dear Milano Leotards.
To whom it may concern, I wish to complain about the unexpected removal of money from my account this weekend, 5 1/2 months after you should have done. I understand your bank caused you difficulties and you had to process these very late and I also do understand that problems like this can occur. What […]
Merry's Perfect Prairie Muffin Moment.
A couple of weeks ago I got totally and utterly sick of packed lunches, specifically the fact that the girls have ended up hurriedly making sandwiches and grabbing a snack bar, snack bars that are expensive and neither healthy or particularly satisfying. I decided i would try baking, something I absolutely never do, and see […]
Our 5th Remembering. #WaveOfLight
I can wish for the days when being part of the Wave of Light hurt so badly I wanted to collapse inward under the weight of my own dying star. I ache for the pain. I remember that this day pulled me low and broke me all over again. It no longer does. I regret […]
On Beauty: The Dove Legacy Campaign. #FeelBeautifulFor
Her life – and motherhood for me – began with beauty. “She has a little problem with her mouth,” they said – and handed me my firstborn with a blanket across her face. Within hours, almost before I had had time to meet her, my room was filled with pictures of other babies, other children […]
My Life. My Decision.
Five years ago, I pissed plenty of people off by screaming repeatedly about the injustices that were about to be served on my community by the Labour government at the time. We wanted people to know the charges being raised against us and so we shouted. We tried to make people hear that we were […]
The Big Day for Winesi #SeeTheMiracle
If you read my post for Sightsavers last week you may know that today is the big day for Winesi, who will get his cataracts removed during a £30, 20 minute operation that will give him back his sight. He currently cannot work, has never seen his youngest grandchild and in a few months, the […]
Soothing Stitches: Easy Pretty Fabric Noticeboard
I’ve been wanting one of these noticeboards ever since I saw Jeanette at Lazy Seamstress make one a year or two back. I’ve had the materials ready for months and not go round to it but wanting to try out the Sew Simple glue from Bostik this month was the perfect push to get on […]
What Motherhood Means to Me #voiceofmums
Motherhood. It’s all of this blog. The days out, the diagnosis of yet another life challenging illness or difference, the juggling car journeys around 5 different activities spread across town with overlapping start and finish times. It’s only being good at making quick meals with tuna in and knowing (or not) where PE kit is, […]
