Safe harbour #100books
Yes, yes, I know it’s not January any more, but sadly we didn’t manage to read/review 100 books then, so we’re just finishing off. I confess I haven’t done much reading for myself this week – a bit burnt out, don’t know how that happened. Have read loads of lovely picture books to the baby,…
Jamie Oliver at home review and giveaway with the Sun Buzz magazine
Now why oh why did I think that the Sun Buzz was out tomorrow? My bad 🙁 Quick, stop reading and run to your local newsagents/ supermarket if they are still open, and grab your copy of the Sun Buzz to get your token for a free Jamie Oliver DVD! (Oh, and you could follow…
An ordinary day.
Got up to a massive pile of post today – fantastic pile of books for our continuing fundraising challenge from Random House Children’s books. They will be reviewed gradually – Small has taken one, Agent 21, to bed tonight 🙂 There was also his unbirthday present in the form of some playmobil, a theory book…
Taking a breath
between writing reviews. 100 books read and reviewed in January was an ambitious target. It turned out it’s the writing and publishing of reviews that we fell behind on, I suspect we’ve read way more than 100 books given the number we all read to the baby. I mean, we’ve currently got 80 library books…
Giving, of my words, my blog, my time.
A while ago I wrote a blogpost about a charitable endeavour, and it sparked me to think of doing more than just linking to and promoting charity gifts (note the original post was not sponsored. It was a charitable carnival). I wondered if I could somehow use the blog to raise money to buy the…
Tickbox home ed
I don’t know whether Big got the idea from one of her friends or whether she’s come up with it more or less independently, but last night she started to make herself a tick list. Of course, we did have ticklists here briefly, but that was a while ago, and they didn’t last long. Today…
Win with playskool 🙂
Given that we liked the Explore ‘n Grow Activity Tower, Playskool have kindly offered the chance for one of my readers to win one for themselves. Remember, it’s one of these: Isn’t that nice 🙂 So, I think we’ll do this the usual way. Just leave a comment before midnight 25th October telling me you’d…
An afternoon off.
Yes, that is champagne. I drank champagne, in a hotel in London, and it was good. It was a very good hotel. So posh that I felt vaguely ashamed of my wear everywhere crocs. But Amanda assured me that in that type of hotel it doesn’t matter, ppl just assume you’re so filthy rich that…
Because home educated children wear clothes too – Clothing at Tesco giveaway.
Now, I read Grit. And I think she’s hilarious. I’ve even met her, and was utterly tongue tied and admiring when she admitted to having read my blog too 🙂 So it was with a sinking feeling that I read her post this week, about blog advertising, specifically wrt school uniforms. It *is* that time…
And in other news
The baby has cracked crawling and thinks her sibling’s bedroom is just the most exciting place ever. This has led to us getting a stairgate out of the garage. I don’t really like doing this, but given that Small point blank refuses to pick up and put away, I don’t think we have another option.…
