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 […]
Notcutts: reviewing my favourite gardening shop.
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 […]
