For some reason, I’m finding Christmas more of a struggle this year than I did last year. I’m not sure why, nor is it really from the perspective of ever last element of Christmas grating on grief like a raw and rubbing wound. This Christmas has some hope in it, which most certainly helps a […]
Midi Hama Bead Give Away
First of all, I’ve horribly late on my prize drawing of the Corolle doll but using my patented testing method of getting the girls to shout out a number and seeing who I actually heard, Aileen is the winner!!!! To get back on track, this next give away is running until Tuesday night only. This […]
Learning to Read (version 4) with Reading Eggs
I want to preface this by saying that we were given some Reading Eggs books free of charge to try out by the company so that we could review them, but that we have also already been paid up members of the site for 6 months. We also bought the first set of books ourselves; […]
Conversation Ed
Last week Fran handed in a science leaflet she had to write looking at health issues and ways of avoiding them or managing them. One element was smoking; I smiled when I saw what she’d written, which included lots about how the government couldn’t ban it because it would become an illegal trade in tobacco […]
That Social Whirl Called Daughters
Oh how I could laugh in the face of “how will they ever learn to socialise?” Our feet are not touching the ground for a moment, so busy are we hurtling from one social or sporting occasion to another. Just call us taxi drivers, quite frankly. Amelie had a lovely few days with her friend […]

29 Weeks Pregnant
It’s been a really hard couple of weeks. We’re fine; we’re all fine, me, Marmite, Max and the girls etc etc but none the less, we’ve been through the mill and back over the last week or so. It’s been horrible. It’s inevitable, I suppose; the girls are busy, work and therefore Max are busy. […]
Festive Dreamcatchers & Bead & Button Xmas Decorations.
Today we made a start on the festive crafting list I put together the other week. A friend found me some cheap metal bangles on eBay which I duly purchased and had a quick play with. This was my first go at a crocheted hoop, partly inspired by MollieMakes Magazine and partly from my Christmas […]

The one where I decide vlogging is not my thing
I like blogging (I know, go figure!) – I love that I get to craft words. I also love to talk (I know, I know) and for all my normal working life I was a sales person who relished selling products I believed in to people I could see. I still do. I’m passionate about […]
