MyFamilyClub's free MyFamilyPack – sponsored review.
I follow MyFamilyClub on twitter (often try to join in the #thriftyThursday quiz), and am subscribed to the website. It’s a goldmine of budget tips and competitions, and when they approached me to do a sponsored post about their latest campaign, the free MyFamilyPack, it didn’t take me long to say yes, as I can…
Hosting a #SomethingSpecialParty
A very exciting box arrived a few days ago. A very large, very spotty box. The children were besides themselves. Particularly Tigerboy, who met some Mr Tumble toys at Christmas in July, and was very taken with them. Yes – in association with UKMums.TV I’m a Something Special Party host! Fear not, twitter followers, most…

Shakespeare with children, or Taming of the Shrew in the forest, at Jimmy's Farm.

I was thrilled to be able to attend the press night for this year’s performance of Taming of the Shrew. Theatre with small children sounds like a kind of intimidating idea. Red Rose Chain…

Oh yeah, zombies. Hm.) This week I’ve been really fortunate to be approved on netgalley for a couple…

Other links are provided below) I’ve gone through loads of these over the…
It's summer, let's party!
Summer, cocktails, bacardi – a great way to have a special family evening as part of a sponsored shop with Collective Bias. Would you believe I actually enjoyed the shopping trip? For once I went on my own. No small helpers wanting things, no arguments in the aisles, no losing children when you turn your…
