We're here again – hospital adventure part two.
10.38. Today’s nurse didn’t seem to care whether we ended up sitting with a bunch of possibly infectious children til I pointed it out, so now we’re in a room at least. No cot, so again I’m pleased I brought the car seat in. We’re on the appt board today, name spelt wrong obviously, so…
Crisis of confidence.
Tell me I’m doing it right? Tigerboy is feeding on demand. Sometimes it feels like he’s feeding round the clock. I do sometimes distract him – pop him in the wrap and go out for a walk for example, but mainly when he wants food he gets it. He made his birth weight back in…
#EDChallenge – miosolo overnight nappy.
I’m taking part in a challenge from bambino mio this week, along with a couple of other Emma’s Diary bloggers. This is Blog post 1: Q&A 1. Do you currently use reusable nappies? Yes, though not overnight for Smallest. 2. If yes, what are your reasons for choosing to reuse? Saving money, cutting down on…
Can you review a book honestly if you skip chapter 9?
I hope you can, because I have to confess to skipping in Creative Writing – The Essential Guide. That would be because I’m really not interested in scriptwriting, but I was interested in finishing up the book 😉 I was sent this for the purpose of review following an exchange on twitter with the author,…
Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine – review.
I heard a lot about this book via twitter, but couldn’t find any UK reviews until I read an article in the guardian (which I of course can’t find now. Bother). So I searched to see if any UK book bloggers had read it, and instead connected with the publishers, who send me a copy…
Live below the Line 2012 – a thrifty challenge.
Last year I sort of took part in a challenge to live below the line, spending only £1 a day on food and drink. When I say sort of, I mean I had all best intentions to do it, but then really didn’t 🙁 This year I’m wondering about trying it with a variation. I’ll…
Talina in the Tower blogtour – interview with author Michelle Lovric
Big read and reviewed Talina in the Tower (link to be added when she’s pressed publish, sigh!), kindly supplied to us by Orion for that purpose. And then we got to interview the author as part of her blogtour! How fantastic is that? So, Big’s questions first: 1. How do you decide on a storyline?…
Going VIP to the Baby Show at London ExCel Feb 24-26th
Today I did a grown up thing, and went to London. For the day. On my own, without any children at all. I’d been invited by the lovely ladies at AzariaPR to be a VIP blogger at the Baby Show and while I’d had some qualms in the first place (to be discussed later) I’d…
Today Matthew, I will be a Butlins Ambassador!
Way back last year at Cybermummy I applied to be a Butlins Ambassador. I was really surprised to be chosen though! And it’s taken til now for me to get organised enough to actually go on one of our breaks but this weekend I’m taking the children to the Ocean Hotel at Bognor Regis while…
Lost and Found – review.
This is currently Smallest’s favourite book. She adores the interactivity of the paper engineering (as it is described on the book itself). It goes far beyond a standard pop up book with tabs folding in various directions, doors that open and close, lights that turn on and off, and of course, the penguin. Because it…
