Choosing baby names is tricky; it needs to appeal to you, you might want it not to be too popular (I speak as the temporary keeper and guide of one of the oldest Amelie’s in the country!) and give off the right vibe for the child you hope they will grow up into. It needs […]
Racing for Life.
I keep saying it’s been a funny few weeks here and it has. Not that it matters especially, other than that it has made me think very hard about trying to take better care of myself inside and out. Annoyingly that – and the general lack of time that our life now involves – means […]
Just me and him. A #summerdayout
It’s been a funny few weeks without time or opportunity for blogging. Somethings shouldn’t be blogged perhaps, at least not while they are happening. In and among all of that, we’ve twitched our working life and Max has gone back to employment, leaving me to run our business and rather a lot of the childcare […]
Appreciating Daddy.
We all like to feel appreciated and one of the ways we do that in our society tends to be gifts. That’s relatively easy for a family to do for a mum; flowers, pamper treats or maybe a nice bundle of yarn if you are me. 😉 I can be made very happy by coming […]
Creative uses for catering supplies.
This weekend I went through my craft cupboard and chucked out 4 large laundry tubs of stuff that has been shoved in there and not used over the last 4 years. My girls are outgrowing crafting as fast as they are outgrowing parties and I’m not overly convinced that Bene is going to grow into […]
May.
If our life was a circus, every ball, actor, venue, booking and act would currently be hanging off a trapeze, or be up in the air, uncontracted, not paid the fee or possibly be a sobbing heap of luvvy-dom in a caravan somewhere. I don’t know where to start with how much everything is dangling […]
“I Let You Go” book review & “How I Write” by Clare Mackintosh.
A little more than three years ago I sat at a coffee shop table with 2 friends and we talked about life, blogging, parenting, loss and writing. We all swore to write a book and now Clare, alongside the other friend I met that day, has done it. Not only has Clare Mackintosh written a […]
Coming Up Roses: a book review.
Rachael Lucas is one of my very oldest online friends (and latterly a real life one too… I have the honour of having shared a number of hotel rooms with her and had an inadvertent midnight cuddle from her too 😉 ) and it is only because of that that I’m going to forgive her […]
Sponsored Post: Baking Myself Proud
So last week I mentioned how I was working on my baking skills. I thought long and hard and realised that more than the birthdays which festoon the Spring for us, I wanted to celebrate something else. I wanted to celebrate the hard work towards AS levels, GCSEs, exams, dancing shows and gym competitions that […]
Bittersweet revenge.
I’m not normally a particularly vengeful human, though I admit there have been a couple of times recently when karma has bitten a bottom very sweetly. I admit that when Ed Balls lost his seat in the election this morning, I cheered. And then promptly burst into tears. It was a miserable night for many […]
