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 […]
So I’m off for a couple of weeks, (burglars don’t even think about it, there are going to be dog sitters, 2 big dogs and a decorator in the house!) on our first hot summer family holidy, yay! But the blog posts will still keep coming. Apologies to my RSS readers and kindle readers, because […]
Superheroes, Fairies, Magic, Sea Monsters: The world of a child is full of magic. So do you encourage it because the role playing and imagination is meant to be good for their development.

I’m feeling a bit feisty! Plus, I’m still very inspired by all the stuff that I learnt at Blog Camp UK (If you didn’t make it to London, you have so got to go to one of the others: there is cake, gossip, and cool things to learn!). So, at the conference Bangs and a […]
Wow, A huge thank you to firstly the person who nominated me for Best MAD Small Business Award (That’s not ‘mad’, it’s Mum and Dad Bloggers, which is sort of ‘mad’!) and then all the people who kept nominating me so that the judges picked me as a Finalist! I had huge tears in my […]
Jump up and down, jump up and down today is the day of my first ever Live facebook webinar! (Forgive me, I’m a geek at heart!). Please come, just so that I’m not alone, talking into the ether! It’s at 7pm on my facebook fan page. Come a couple of minutes early and read the […]
