  • Feeling good with Gok Wan and Activia

    So a little while ago I posted about the new Activia campaign all about how feeling good comes from within, and how you can let the feel good out with dancing. And I said that I was going to be meeting someone a bit special as part of my involvement with the campaign. The meeting…

    With the Easter holidays around the corner, I’ve teamed up with GAME Junior, a dedicated area of every GAME store which features games suitable for young children, to give *two* lucky readers the chance to win an exclusive Skylanders character, Enchanted Lightcore Star Strike. The tale of Star Strike is one of mystery, after she…

    Read 52 – catching up, giveaway and invitation.

    In the month that this blog reached no 1 in the Ebuzzing literature charts, I’ve been sadly amiss with book blogging. Oops. Isn’t that always the way it goes? I’m going to try to squeeze out a couple of reviews over the weekend, but I thought instead today I’d waffle a bit. And give away…

  • Minimum mess makes – Spring pictures.

    As I blogged recently, I have some issues with mess. Since then, I’ve been trying to make sure that we do something crafty or sensory pretty much every day that we’re here (if we’re out and about I don’t bother quite so much!) I wish I’d written more nine/ten years ago about what I did…

  • TalkTalk call boosts – prices investigated.

    300 picture books week 10 featuring Satoshi Kitamura.

    We’ve not done a lot of reading this week, what we have done is focus on a couple of books by Satoshi Kitamura. The first is Millie’s Marvellous Hat. This is fabulous. Millie spends all of her (non existent) money on an imaginary hat. She then gradually realises that everyone has a hat. There’s loads…

  • A world book day surprise with Miles Kelly.

    A little while ago I was very pleased to be approached by Miles Kelly publishers to be involved in a secret santa style book swap with other bloggers. I was assigned a blogger to stalk research, and someone else researched us. I chose a book and then waited. And a fab parcel arrived through the…

  • Birthday boy.

    Birthday boy.

    Tigerboy is two today. I can’t quite believe it. The time has flown – it seems moments since I was sitting painfully right here in this chair, crying, thinking I still had two weeks of pregnancy left. (Hint, I didn’t). In some ways he’s very much still a baby. The no speech makes him seem…

  • The Week reviewed. The magazine that is. (Get yourself a free copy.)

    Recently I was sent a copy of The Week to review, and today I *finally* got around to it. They also sent me a link for you to claim your own free copy – Just in case you want to skip the review and do that now, here you go. Still here? Good. It’s billed…
