Rhythms, routines and 21 rituals.
I’m pretty sure I’ll have talked on this site before about rhythms, and routines, but probably not that much about rituals. That’s because up until this week, they haven’t been a large part of my life. But on Thursday afternoon, browsing the library while Smallest was at art club, I came across Theresa Cheung: 21…
Christmas no 2 and a birthday.
It’s Princess’s birthday today, so we gathered in a softplay area and gave her presents. We gave her a pack of books and an England supporter kit, and other ppl just kept on giving. I lost count of how many presents there were, took up several bags when we went to carry them all out…
Crafts for children – playing with squidoo again.
Crafts for children I used to home educate my two children, and we did it without curriculum. For young children they can learn huge amounts from doing crafts that no so very long ago were a way of life. Merry’s question earlier reminded me of my squidoo lenses, so I went and played some more.…
Drifting along.

a thought for a stranger
tomorrow one of my colleagues has the day of work to go to the funeral of a friend, who has died suddenly leaving behind a 4 year old and a 3 month old. No one knows who the father of the 3 month old is, and she will never know her mother now. I can…
round and about
Been working pretty hard this weekend, though not quite as successfully as I’d like, and so we don’t seem to have done much that’s terribly exciting. The good news is that Big is getting much better at entertaining herself, has begun to turn the television off, or request the radio on (! I’ve got a…
I'm dead chuffed with this.
Took me and Big a couple of hours yesterday – some experimentation about how best to make the joints and so on, and a fair bit of time with me cutting up bits of straw, but we both had a great time. And I think I’m in love – how cool is this house? I…
