Cybher: I wish
I wish we didn’t need to discuss the word feminism and whether we need to reclaim it. I wish I’d managed to get my hands on some of those cupcakes. I wish I could work out who I met and who I didn’t meet. And remember names. Ppl seem to like it when you remember…
Planning early education with help from Baker Ross and Random House children's books.
I read Tigerboy a book the other day. It was the first time that I’d read him a book instead of having him on my knee while I read to Smallest. Given he’s 9 weeks old I’m definitely slacking 😉 We have books coming out of our ears in this house. Smallest loves to be…
Getting to grips with Google+
A while ago I had a look at G+. I didn’t much like it, or its real name policy, although that has now been relaxed as I understand it, and deactivated my profile. But recently MumsnetBloggers were looking for bloggers to explore it and review, so I thought I’d have a look again and see…
Peppa Pig campervan review
I was ever so pleased to be offered this Peppa Pig Vehicle with Figure – Campervan for review – Smallest has a lot of inherited toys but not desperately many that are targetted at this age (3) and I’d a feeling she would like this a lot. I wasn’t wrong. She loves it so much…
I'll give you something to cry about.
This morning I brought Smallest to the swimming pool for her weekly swimming lesson. It runs alongside a women’s only swimming session, populated mainly by women of a certain age. This leads to an interesting mix in the changing room, and this morning we just couldn’t seem to get out of the way of an…
Vicks Humidifier – review. But there's a post around it too, so you might still want to read.
Ages and ages and ages ago, way back in the dark ages when I was just a mother of three with a large stomach 😉 I was offered a Vicks Humidifier to review via the lovely ppl at Emma’s Diary. (I’m an Emma’s Diary blogger you see, it’s over there in the sidebar.). And we…
Butlins: Breakfasts, Bob and Balloons.
I know I’ve been blogging quite a bit recently. I also know that I’ve actually rather a backlog of posts, and so I apologise for drowning you in multiple posts a day, but any chance I get near a keyboard, I’m going to be banging them out. Today I’m whisking you all the way back…
Happy Feet Two – an extra family film night
Last week, as regular readers will know, was a bit traumatic. So managing to spend happy family time together was even more important than usual, and I was quite pleased to have this film for review from Warner Bros. To be honest, all I was hoping for was something that we could all watch without…
The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman
I read this last week I think, and meant to write it up immediately, but I’m actually rather glad I didn’t. Letting it sit in my mind has made me realise what a powerful story it is – usually books slip away from me quite rapidly, but instead I’ve found myself returning to some of…
Croc and Bird by Alexis Deacon
We have a new favourite picture book of the moment. It’s the wonderfully simple Croc and Bird. I’ve read other reviews of this as quirky and unusual, which I suppose it could be, but I thought of it more in terms of family. Your family isn’t necessarily your blood relations. They are the ppl you…
