What I wore Wednesday – two maternity outfits for price of one!
I’m not actually going to tell you what I wore on Wednesday. Instead, I’m going to talk about last Thursday and Friday, when I went down to High Wycombe (over to High Wycombe?) for a blogger event. Because of the … Continue reading
Dark Parties by Sara Grant – review.
I do like teen fiction. But not stereotyped teen fiction. So I was a tiny bit nervous about this as it fits into the current vogue for dystopian fiction and I was afraid it might turn out to be a … Continue reading
Never Coming Home by Evonne Wareham – review
I’ve read a wide variety of stuff already this year, and some of it has been slightly traumatic. Eg Life, Above All, read the book and watched the film for Movie Gazette. (That’s one of my new projects. I’m doing … Continue reading
Beautiful Malice – book review.
So I completely forgot to publish another Our Year in Books post last weekend (gah!) but I have been reading. In fact I’ve read four books so far this year, but some of them will be reviewed other places, I’ll … Continue reading
Recommending a book.
I read a lot of books. You’d think choosing just one to recommend would be easy, but no, it’s not. What if the other person doesn’t like it? What if they absolutely hate it? It would be so embarrassing. But … Continue reading
Bumpalicious maternity dress and Emma Jane tights – review.
I was very fortunate, just before Christmas to be contacted by a couple of ppl to review some lovely maternity wear. Bumpalicious do some fabulous dresses and I decided that for once, I wouldn’t be sensible and choose the dress … Continue reading
Christmas is nearly upon us: stocking fillers reviewed.
I’ve had some great review opportunities, and some odd ones through the blog this year. This surprised me slightly, but was not one I was averse to (one day I’ll blog a list of the things I’ve turned down, you’ll … Continue reading
Zumba fitness 2 for Wii – review and giveaway
You may remember me reviewing Zumba Fitness for Wii a while back, when I was working on being fit and svelte. These are not words that describe me now. Blimp describes me now, sadly, 6 months pregnant is not my … Continue reading
The whole early years/ school age thing and home education, with a book review.
Increasingly via twitter I’m getting contacted about home education. This is good. I’m glad that ppl have somewhere to reach out to. When I was considering it for Big, all those years ago, my online answers came courtesy of the … Continue reading
Gamers ahoy – Disney Universe review and Grease Dance XBox competition.
Rattling through a bit of a backlog of reviews and competitions this week, worth keeping checking in to see what else is coming up Today it’s Disney Universe – we were very lucky to be sent this to review on … Continue reading
The Fellowship of the Ring – Family Film Night
Grotty dull day here yesterday – it barely seemed to get light. I managed to get a bit more tidying done, which had the adverse side affect of clearing a path to the craft shelves, so I then spent lots … Continue reading
Saturday is family film night – Back to the Future.
Or at least, tonight was our second family film night. I’m trying to make it a habit, that we spend one evening a week staring at the same screen together – I’d quite like it if we did board games … Continue reading
News, reviews, competitions and bits.
A few things to cover this week, though not as many odd news releases from PRs for some reason. I did get word yesterday of a new competition from Lloyds Home insurance with a top prize of £10000 – something … Continue reading
When god was a rabbit by Sarah Winman #review
I received this book from Tesco Books blog – they have recruited a whole bunch of bloggers to review books, but with a little twist. So books are listed in a category – and When God Was a Rabbit is … Continue reading
Little lifesavers from Dylon and Radox
One of the perks of being recognised as a mummy blogger (much as I detest that term, quite frankly) is being sent lovely little presents. One of the downsides of this is having to work out what to put in … Continue reading
Ape House by Sara Gruen #100books
I was thrilled when this arrived in the post yesterday from Two Roads Books. I read Water for Elephants as part of Cara’s book group and absolutely loved it, so couldn’t wait to get my hands on Ape House. It’s … Continue reading
A trip to That London to see Vtech’s new Innotab.
We went rather nervously, it has to be admitted, given all the news stories, pictures, rumours, reports and hashtags that are flying around. But I reasoned that the part of London we were going to was very central, and we … Continue reading

I really wasn’t up to much today, so I was thrilled to find an envelope from ChocLituk in my post this morning. It contained and chocolate, so was a very good start to the day. I haven’t read any Jane … Continue reading
Bumped by Megan McCafferty #100books
This book was sent to review as part of a bundle of holiday reading for teens/ pre-teens. Big started it, but found it a bit above her head – she is only 11 though. So I read it instead, and … Continue reading
