I’ve been quiet this last couple of weeks. I’m engaged in a process of frantically holding everything, every feeling and memory and thought inside a box with a lid that wants to spring open. It’s the only way to manage just now. I was only able to take the anti-depressants for a month and coming […]
Maths and the art of Lazy Home Ed
I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment. Not since virtual non-reader, 8 year old Fran suddenly picked up a Rainbow Fairy book and launched into fully fledged literacy, has being a home educator felt quite so good. The honey, all of it, is not in the achievement, but in the path to the […]
This is the VERY LAST beg for VOTES!!! And why.
Voting closes for the MAD Blog Awards in 10 hours time, at 9pm on Friday 17th June. After that I promise not to ask again but just for today, if you like my blog and know people who might (or who have an email address quite frankly!) would you ask them to click on this […]
Running out of Energy Choices?
We’ve gone through various periods of financial stability or instability in the house over the years; we’ve had times when were were literally living one month to the next, or more often than not, more like last month encroaching only to soon on the one ahead. We’ve had fortunate times where we’ve had a little […]
Flower Power thanks to Interflora
When I got an email the other week asking if I would like to sample the delights of a bouquet of flowers from the lovely Interflora, I may have squeaked quite loudly. Well, okay, shrieked with delight rather a lot, if I’m honest! I’m a complete sucker for flowers, whether in the garden or in […]
The only time you'll ever see a Vlog here
The PuddleChicks tell you why they would love us to win the MAD Blog Award for Best Family Life Blog or Most Inspiring Blog. I have sweated blood over this as I made the stupid mistake of doing it on my phone not the flip camera. I therefore think it has lost a little in […]
Two Give Away Results – did you win?
First of all, a horribly delayed result to the Tulip Fabric Paint Giveaway. Sorry it was slow, things got in the way. The winner of the Starter Pack of Tulip Fabric Paint is Jax, from LiveOtherwise. I chose this using a randomiser and it picked out her “retweeted” comment. The second pack goes to Rachel […]
The MADs Awards – one week left to vote.
Honestly, I know I’m getting boring about this – in one week the voting process will be over. I’m up against massive competition, I know, and I really don’t expect to win, but I’d love to have given it my best shot and so I’m just going to ask these few last times if you’d […]
Little Bit of Luck. Thank You @AppOnline
If you could see the smile on my face now, you wouldn’t believe that a few days ago I was face down on the sofa, sobbing that surely it was time for the universe to give me a break and just stop sending more and more impossible things for us to deal with. Not that […]

But there are also lots of other categories and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to introduce the finalists from two of them. The MADs are a […]
