Funny to think that I won’t ever need anything like this again. Bizarre to think that when I had Fran, when I needed organising in this sort of a way, no one really believed mobile phones would catch on, never mind imagine they’d be powerful handheld computers we couldn’t live without. It’s perhaps even odder […]
Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
Time not so long past, I was a woman with a gaggle of little girls at my knees, following me baby-duck-like, wherever we went. My whole girl famili-ness defined me as much as Hama Beads and crafting and selling things and always having two too many things to do. Slightly scruffy, free spirited but not […]
The Food Frontline; how support changes futures.
Last year an amazing group of parent bloggers and I came together to support the trip that Sian went on to Niger, launching the #ShareNiger campaign to raise awareness of the plight of families struggling against drought and hunger. We now sponsor 11 beautiful children between us from Tera and the letters that come back […]
Looks like we made it.
There are two truths universally known about motherhood. One is you will receive any home made cards. The other is the teenager years are hell and everyone will hate each other. This morning my nearly 15 year old snuck done early to give me the first of my Mother's Day cards. I did eventually get […]
Remembering Matilda Mae
Much of the parent blogging world turned their eyes to the funeral of Matilda Mae today, determined to do their bit to support Jennie and David as they said goodbye to their precious baby daughter. Some bloggers went to the service, to support and bear witness for the huge numbers of bloggers who care so […]
Out, out… Damn clutter.
So along with building 2 new websites, learning to use eBay and etsy again, crocheting a blanket, bringing up a baby, settling a child into school and facilitating the education of several others, I've been on a bit of. Mission. This is not the current computer based alien killing my husband and children are doing, […]
MADs Outstanding Blogger Award.
I think this is a great idea, really appeals to me. The MADS is doing one extra award for an Outstanding Blogger who makes a contribution to our society online of parent bloggers. So here are the people I would nominate, if I could do more than three. Sian at Mummy Tips for her work […]
Popping with Pride.
Just for once I’m not going to blog about my children. I’m going to tell you about my mum, just for a moment. You might have seen the Channel 4 documentary about the “Bionic Man” are project about seeing how far we can go in reconstructing a human from the inventions medical science have created […]
Big houses, little memories.
When I was little my sister had a friend who had a mum who had once taught a (now famous) ice dancer her O Level English. She told her not to be silly and try to make a living out of ice skating but concentrate on her exams instead. They lived in a huge, I […]
That Panto. Memories for later years.
When I was a child I wanted toi dance in a panto more than anything in the world. Actually, I wanted to dance more than anything in the world but my mum said she would pay for lessons for me (at 10) only if I phones up and did the finding out myself. I was […]
