Sunday Stitches

May 26, 2013 by

Yesterday (before I succumbed to the cold from Hades) I went on a workshop to learn some pretty knitting skills with Debbie Abrahams; she’s a bit of a knitting hero of mine, as lots of the squares from the survival blanket of 2010-2011 came from her books. It was a lovely day, designed to publicise […]

Win a Centerparcs #CPFamilyBreak

May 19, 2013 by

I keep peering cautiously outside and wondering if the Summer will ever come… I think it may be here soon though. I really hope so as our Centerparcs holiday is approaching fast now! This month, Centerparcs want to know about your family picnics; all you have to do is put up some photos of your […]

Stitched Sunday

May 5, 2013 by

With one blanket under my belt this year and the cardigan of doom finished (I don't think I like it though 🙁 ) I thought it was time to try something new. I've got another throw on the go but it doesn't need to be ready till autumn and I fancied doing something new. I'm […]

Baby Bene at 15 months (almost).

April 11, 2013 by

I’m terribly behind with Bene updates, which is annoying because he has been changing so much. At not quite fifteen months, he’s been walking for around 1 month now. Starting walking was pretty funny; he took a few steps for a day or so, then scared himself silly and wouldn’t walk on the floor any […]

The Lullaby Trust

April 10, 2013 by

I've sung to Bene every day since I had him I think. I never sung to Freddie, not so far as I can remember, and it's one of my saddest thoughts. From very early on, Bene has been soothed by the sound of 'Yellow Bird', he knows its the sleepy song, he knows it means […]

Guest Post: Kiddycharts

March 28, 2013 by

As part of PoP’s 10 year anniversary, I thought it would be interesting to showcase guest posts from people who work as hard on their small businesses as we do and perhaps also look as businesses which do something a little different to how we parent and how we work. So first up is Helen, […]

You may Wonder.

March 20, 2013 by

I have a friend, who I have never met and who I share only a few things in common with, called Johnny Daukes. I’m not even sure how we came to be Facebook friends if I’m honest, perhaps through home educating. When Freddie died he was one of the people who checked up on me […]

Sponsored Post: Aptaclub Preparing for Birth IPhone App

March 17, 2013 by

Funny to think that I won’t ever need anything like this again. Bizarre to think that when I had Fran, when I needed organising in this sort of a way, no one really believed mobile phones would catch on, never mind imagine they’d be powerful handheld computers we couldn’t live without. It’s perhaps even odder […]

Looks like we made it.

March 10, 2013 by

There are two truths universally known about motherhood. One is you will receive any home made cards. The other is the teenager years are hell and everyone will hate each other. This morning my nearly 15 year old snuck done early to give me the first of my Mother's Day cards. I did eventually get […]
