Read 52: Unbored – review and giveaway.
A book with a bit of a difference this week – instead of a novel or picture book, I’m reviewing a sort of activity book: Unbored: The Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun by Joshua Glenn and Elizabeth Foy Larsen (amazon link.

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…
The beach with added Miffy
Yesterday I packed up the entire contents of the house and dragged them down the road to the beach for a couple of hours, then dragged them home again. That’s what it felt like anyway. It occurred to me that I carried less stuff when I was interrailing for a month than I do for…

The reality, with two small children, tends to be rather different. I imagine popping out into the garden, doing a spot of digging, sprinkling…
The #BigIF – live simply so that others can simply live.
On Saturday I went to London again. I know, two weeks running. I took Big, Smallest and Tigerboy with me this time – the BigIF rally we were attending in Hyde Park was billed as family friendly, so I thought it would be a fun day out. With hindsight I might have got more out…
