Light and fluffy. Light and fluffy. Must try harder. If this 8 seconds of video doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will 🙂 This is Bene in his new Stokke Sleepi. There is no way we could have afforded this – he would have had a travel cot – but we were gifted […]
A head filled with heavy nothing.
Oh dear. No blogging. We’ve actually been having a good time, if you count charging around like loons a good time. I could write lots of posts filled with interesting stuff. I will do. But not here. If you read my other blog (and thank you to the people who do and commented, I really […]
WedEd: sewing, electromagnets (possibly) and The Listeners.
Yesterday was a good day. After a slow start my spirits soared as we came within a tiny distance of sponsoring six children in Niger, I was feeling disappointed in what I had achieved but actually, it suddenly struck me that in 3 days bloggers and readers of blogs have pledged £1700. We are going […]
Be part of something amazing for ShareNiger
Update: We stand at 9 child sponsorships and a total of just under £2500 pledged or donated. WorldVision are fully behind us and tweeting us out, in case you were concerned as to whether we have their blessing. I have included a screenshot of this at the bottom 🙂 A few weeks ago I posted […]
The opposites of grief.
Woven inside and outside of everything that resides inside a busy family and bringing up a new baby and time passing by I’m aware, if less vocal, about some of the intangibles of grief. For so long I was racked and grazed by the contradictions of loss, of having a child but not having him, […]
Things I learned this week.
In no particular order other than for dramatic and needy, pimping effect. Adults don’t always get nits from their children. Sometimes they get them from somewhere else and that’s actually worse. I can’t tell you how much I hate not being able to roll my eyes and blame it on a small girl. If your […]
And then came the rainbows…
I remember writing a long time ago that I knew one day posts about Freddie on here would fade away. It was the early days then, right at the beginning – but I knew even then that the desperate pain and grief would not always be something I could find and write new feelings about… […]
What I really learned at Cybher.
Last weekend I went to a conference designed for bloggers. I’ve been before to similar (as blogged previously when I went to BlogCamp and Cybermummy) but CybHer was designed specifically in response (I think) to some people feeling dissatisfied with Cybermummy being a little, shall we say, superficial. I sat next to Sian (CybHer’s erm.. […]
Hard won happy.
It was not possible to overcome the wanting. The wanting brought a foolish mistake and a serious error of judgement. The error of judgement brought our world crashing down. That crashed ended in a room and £30 a week and arguments and learning to talk, learning to forgive, learning to be grown ups. Learning to […]
Takes All Sorts.
Back in the olden days, when I first set about home education, I was full of ideas and excitement about how it would go. I thought I would give my children a classic education which allowed them to know about and understand and have time to explore so many of the things that I wanted […]
