So as you know I don’t do many reviews, but when my kids heard I’d been asked to review gravity force in the summer, they kind of forced me to go! Here is Curly Headed Boy’s reaction: So here are the things I was worried about and what I thought about it all …. Is it dangerous? Trampolines as we […]
Gravity Force St Albans Review – heaven or hell?
Big Decisions, Crufts and Ruff Guides!
Irony of Making Decisions It’s one of those funny things isn’t it – make a big decision and then irony of ironies, something challenges it. A few weeks ago I was so up to my eyeballs that I turned off all notifications on Facebook groups. Every now and again I check them all at the same time, and it has […]
Sticks and magic
It’s been tough, at times over the past few months. I’ve been so busy that I was surprised and really chuffed to be asked to remain as an ambassador for the Forestry Commission (which means I get a membership to Wendover woods). They sent us a lovely pack with a Stick Man book and a few other goodies, which as […]
Will we make it ‘Back to the moon for good’?
At the end of the last half-term we took a very excited Curly Headed Boy (nearly 8) and Little Dimples (3.5) to the National Space Centre in Leicester for the first time for the launch of ‘Back to the moon for good’. Honestly I had absolutely no idea what on earth the launch was about! But I’d wanted to go […]
Why a ‘cutie mark’ is so important for my daughter
About 6 months ago I decided to cut back on TV watching and banned Cbeebies etc from being on as much. It took me several weeks to discover that Little Dimples (then just turned 3) had worked out to use YouTube – argh! Not just that, but she had worked out how to stick the headphones on for the computer […]
The Power of making a cushion!
I love synchronicity! I was just leaving Radio Verulam a couple of months ago when I saw a sign for ‘Homespun Living‘ and thought ‘Oh that’s a small business I should contact to see if I can help’ (check out my tips for small businesses). As soon as I got home, there was an email from Helen asking if I’d […]
Go on try something new – a festival or camping?
Life’s still hard with the recession and we all need some fun and adventure in our lives, so for this month’s Lifestyle feature over on Radio Verulam with the lovely Danny smith on his Drivetime show, I talked about festivals and camping. I first decided to got to a festival when Little Dimples was 18months (two years ago) and Curly […]
Review of Celtic Harmony Beltane Festival
At the beginning of May we went off to Celtic Harmony in Hertford for their Beltane Festival. I’m very interested in the times of the year and the month, how they affect us, and how it can be helpful to be more aware of them. Someone once said I have a witchy vibe, in a nice ‘white witch’ sort of […]
Britmums 2013 review – Goods, bads, facts, inspirations, cake and most of all friends
Here is my review of Britmums 2013: I turned up very overwhelmed with trying to spend time with the kids, keep my blog going, plans to start a new Woodcraft Folk group in September, and a new HUGE mega secret project. I’ve come away with facts and inspiring ideas that will help me manage it all. Most of all I […]
How to use a blogger in your business
I think that bloggers are the perfect match for small to medium sized businesses to help them get their names out into the world. The big brands are already using us. But there is a lot to be said for focussing on smaller, niche or local businesses instead. So here are my tips on how to go about it if […]
