My children are experiencing a collaborative attack on their delight and excitement in the shape of limited family funds and a sister currently being violently assaulted by a stretching GCSE revision guide. This means days out are limited in the extreme and when holiday are also filled with half poorly baby boys, exams, competition practice […]
Oh, lovely girl.
Oh… Peaches. You were off my radar when you were a wild child. I didn’t know that bit of you. But recently, after your spirited defence of attachment parenting, I found you on IG. We exchanged a word or two. I smiled at your pictures, of the love and fierce joy that shined out of […]
Four.
I resent this. I resent that it is four years since Freddie’s birth and that we have survived. I resent that I’m worth more, more meaningful, less stupid, because of him. Because of his death. I resent that we have learned to make the best of it. I resent that instead of cake and candles […]
Soothing Stitches: Another crochet hat with a Hungry Caterpillar theme.
This book has been Bene’s favourite since the earliest of times. In fact, it has probably been all their favourite book at some point; I imagine that is why after 45 years, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still going strong. I imagine that is why “pop!” and “caterpillar” and “sun” and “be-uuuutiful butterfly!” have been […]
Sponsored Video: Dream the Blues
You don’t have to know much about us to know that sport is a major theme in this house; from gymnastics to taekwondo, rugby to dancing, running to netball, everyone in the house spends many hours a week partaking in team or individual sports. It’s one of the few places that we all overlap in […]
Again
The 30th March, so Timehop reminded me today, was Freddie’s due date. Tomorrow is the day when I thought he was coming and curled up in bed. Perhaps I should have walked about, maybe he’d have made it then. The 1st April we sat at the table and played with Hama Beads. And then came […]
Saturday
It’s been such a busy few weeks; gcse’s looming, 2 shows to get the kids through, all the school upheaval, trying to launch a new website (STILL trying to do that) and a cello exam, plus all the ordinary gym things. If I get to sit down at all, it seems to be about 10.30pm. […]
Sponsored Video: The Glorious Nothing Day
We don’t get enough nothing days here, even though all too often it feels as if every day is a nothing day because we spend too much of it driving between places to drop the girls at one thing or another, dealing with tired toddlers and stressed out teenagers, hustling people through homework and music […]
Spring Crafts with Bostik Products
Last month we tried our hand at some crafting with Bostik glue and sticky pads; this month the challenge is Spring and Easter crafting with some Glitter Glue pens and extra strong Glu Dots. I got the jump on this a bit as we put together the craft pack this month via our CraftMerrily website […]
Review: 3m Post-it Full Adhesive Super Sticky Notes
A while back 3m Post-it Notes challenged us to get crafty, which we did with alacrity; this time they wanted us to come up with some uses for their new Full Adhesive Super Sticky Notes, a product which sounded great as I love the ordinary type but often get annoyed by them flapping if I […]
