Competition for a Christmas Jumper like you've never seen before.
Today I am bringing you something very special. I am bringing you a carolling Christmas kitten. On a jumper. Come on, you all know someone who *needs* this in their lives. They have to be someone with a smart phone, as what they have to do is simply download the free app, available on iOS…
Christmas with Rakuten's Play.com – review
I remember play.com before it was Rakuten’s Play.com I don’t remember it terribly well, and was really surprised to discover what a wide ranging site it now is. I remember it as just doing CDs and DVDs – it now does clothing, books, toys, tech stuff and pretty much everything (barring food) that you need…
Taste of darkness – Maria V Snyder
She’s fought death and won. But how can she fight her fears? Avry knows hardship and trouble. She fought the plague and survived. She took on King Tohon and defeated him.

One child down.
Small went to Wed Ed without the rest of us today. Instead I had a list of things to do and the day gradually evaporated without them being done. Although I did help make a pirate map, encourage vlogging and find my keys, so I guess the day wasn’t a complete washout. It would have…
Stabilo early writing resources.
Recently we were sent some samples of Stabilo early writing resources, and the younger children have had a great time reviewing them. This is Smallest with a left handed pencil and a maze. Pretty good pencil grip for a three year old, no? (OK, a very nearly 4 year old. Eek.) I like this pencil.…
