Last week Maddy and I had the wonderful good luck to join some (not all, just some) of my very favourite bloggers at the Guinness World Records 60th birthday bash. It’s not often a bloggy event comes up that I know is just perfect for Maddy but with her love of the extra-ordinary, her fixation […]
And now she is 10.
My youngest little girl is ten. One of my friends said something yesterday that I’ve been thinking all week. When my big girls were ten, they were practically grown up. Josie is still just a baby. Surely, she is still just a baby? But she isn’t. She is, as all ten years old girls are, […]
Almost 3.
He’s almost three. It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when he wasn’t firmly at the centre of the family. He talks ALL the time now. When he doesn’t know the word he find a way round it. When he can’t get us to do his […]
Our 5th Remembering. #WaveOfLight
I can wish for the days when being part of the Wave of Light hurt so badly I wanted to collapse inward under the weight of my own dying star. I ache for the pain. I remember that this day pulled me low and broke me all over again. It no longer does. I regret […]
Soothing Stitches: Easy Pretty Fabric Noticeboard
I’ve been wanting one of these noticeboards ever since I saw Jeanette at Lazy Seamstress make one a year or two back. I’ve had the materials ready for months and not go round to it but wanting to try out the Sew Simple glue from Bostik this month was the perfect push to get on […]
What Motherhood Means to Me #voiceofmums
Motherhood. It’s all of this blog. The days out, the diagnosis of yet another life challenging illness or difference, the juggling car journeys around 5 different activities spread across town with overlapping start and finish times. It’s only being good at making quick meals with tuna in and knowing (or not) where PE kit is, […]
Blogging for Sightsavers #SeeTheMiracle
Just short of 2 years ago I took Max for a day in Cambridge that would, in the words of my unemotional, stoical husband, change his life. Having been severely shortsighted since his early teens, with a prescription of -5.5, he had laser eye surgery. Within hours he could see better than he had seen […]
Visiting Bletchley Park
Last week we were lucky enough to be invited to Bletchley Park by McAfee who have a Cyber Security Exhibition within the main building. I probably spent half my childhood locked in a book that related to the war in some way, romanticising a difficult period of history into something that seemed exhilarating and exciting. […]
Back to school. All change for Puddleton.
Back to school has happened. 3 schools, 4 different uniforms, a school run that takes 45 minutes minimum twice a day, a sixth former for the first time and an awful lot of school uniform. I always leave it late, always. This year I managed to leave it to the last 2 days, which was […]
Going up North.
As previously mentioned, Fran recently got selected to play Touch Rugby for the Northern Stars, the north of England Under 18 squad. This has meant some training days and given where we live is really not-very-northern-at-all, the cost implication of this is pretty high. Having just had a week where the car cost us £600 […]
