What Autism is
To me. (I can’t define it for anyone else. And if you don’t experience it, you do NOT get to define it for us or to draw us as suffering monsters. If you could refrain from that, that would be nice?) Back to me. Actually I think you *can* see it in my face. It’s…
Gravity by Andy Briggs
Buy from Amazon here We very much enjoyed being part of the blog tour for Inventory: Iron Fist last spring, and I leapt at the chance for Small to read the sequel, not least because I love his reviews. I think you’ll agree with me that he has not disappointed 😉 I tried to go…
#brighterFuture Unilever challenge.
This post is an entry for BritMums #brightFuture Challenge, sponsored by Unilever Since having children, looking after the planet feels more and more important all the time.

10 things you don't need to home educate.
1) A Tuffspot (or own brand alternative). Feels like every early years home education thread you go near on Facebook these days is all about the Tuffspots, and people worrying about how to home educate if they can’t afford/don’t have room for/just plain don’t want one.

Anyway, I’ve launched the new reviews/competitions/money making/money saving site over at Not Just Kids Stuff. There’s a Shopkins giveaway running, so you might want…
Taking the #FloraLunchbox challenge in sixth form
For years and years and years I’ve been able to be smug about lunch box issues. Even last year when Big started school I got away with it, as she mainly ate from the cafeteria, and even though I winced at the prices, it meant I didn’t have to plan, buy and pack. This year…
Would you buy my book?
Beginning to think that all you need to do to be an expert or activist or have a voice is keep saying you are one and release a film or book. No actual expertise or experience outside your own required. I’ve a whole heap of experience. Would you buy my book? (I haven’t written it…
Time for a change.
I’ve been blogging here for over 13 years, and it’s my place. But. A little while ago, a few years back, I started using this place to earn us a little income. And doing that, somehow, put a wall in between my safe place and me. Over the last year, I’ve drifted away, and my…
