So this year was our first ever summer family holiday. I know it seems weird it took us so long, but time just seemed to take over (Curly Headed boy was 5.5yrs this summer). So when we came to book for a family of four I was HORRIFIED by the price. Clearly all of us […]
So last week I talked about how difficult it is to not have purpose, and how everyone needs it from babies to dogs. The week before I talked about how politics doesn’t understand human behaviour. This week I wanted to talk about whether we are made by our background or can change it? Lots of […]
Having been tricked into a competition to see if I could lick my elbow by the cruel MADs Blog Awards organiser Sally Whittle (check it out, because you can get a ticket to the awards ceremony or a goodie bag if you pick how many people managed the challenge), she cruelly described me thus … […]
Wow, what a magic thing twitter is! One day a few months ago I said I wanted to go to a family festival and asked for advice, having never been to any (I know that’s a bit tragic). Go to Just So they said; so we did! Verdict: BEST family festival ever, what a brilliant […]
This weeks question corner is very difficult and sad to answer. In a blog post I can’t give a complete and total answer, but I can give guidance on where to start. Background A few weeks ago I was approached by a mum who was wanting to ask the American courts to see and talk […]
After writing my post ‘The problem with politics is it doesn’t understand human behaviour’, I’ve been thinking even more about the Riots, as I’m sure many others of you have done as well. I was mainly making the point in my post that it is psychologically detrimental to give people benefits for no fair exchange […]
I found tears in my eyes as I tried to explain the riots to Curly Headed Boy this morning (5.5yrs old). But I have had to explain something similar when local teens burnt down a pile of things near where I live. One blog post can’t explain away the whole of the London Riots, and […]
Bristol is a weird place, it has an odd magnetic nature. I remember a social worker telling me that they recommended that families didn’t move elderly relatives out of Bristol because they hardly ever reacted well to it. A few weeks ago we went back to my home town of Bristol to meet up with […]
We are only just going on our first family summer holiday, so I hadn’t really faced the whole practicalities of travelling with a co-sleeping Little Dimples, and a 5yo Curly Headed Boy who still needed some form of bed guard to keep him in bed. When we have travelled with my son before, we had […]
So did I mention that I’m on our first ever family summer holiday? Yep, a couple of times maybe? I’m hoping that at some point during this holiday I will have been able to watch the film or read the book ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. I know that some people love it and […]
