Video Wed: Thought Provoking Cartoon About Education

Video Wed: Thought Provoking Cartoon About Education

Hi Guys, Welcome to my new slot ‘Video Wed’.  Now normally I’m expecting this to be quick little videos to cheer you up, make you laugh, or inspire you.  But every now and again I might add something different, and that’s how I’m starting. I saw this video last night and was transfixed.  For a […]

What do I Stand for, what am I about?

What do I Stand for, what am I about?

I was having a chat with a friend the other day about who we are, what we do like, what we don’t like, and thought that maybe it was time for me to ‘come out’ about what I am all about? We all judge something.  But it’s different for all of us.  Some of us […]

Beginnings and Endings: Sad Goodbyes, Home Updates and Happy Times

Beginnings and Endings: Sad Goodbyes, Home Updates and Happy Times

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet folks, but I have a BIG announcement for next week, so be patient, I hope you are going to love it! Last week was half term and it was a weird week with big ups and downs.  For the first time in ages I didn’t work hardly at all, […]

A whirlwind of a week, would you like a second chance?

A whirlwind of a week, would you like a second chance?

Wow, this week was a crazy week!  Children’s nappies leaked twice and whole beds and duvets needed washing, babies puked, I bumped my car (ouch!), and I daftly scheduled Little Dimples vaccinations.  In the meantime technology was not loving me, things kept going wrong and my computer was on a go slow.  I was only […]

A big fan of ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’, the way to people’s hearts

A big fan of ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’, the way to people’s hearts

I’m a fan of ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’, in fact since having kids I’ve become a big fan of manners.  It’s not until you see a young 2-5yr old mimic an adults behaviour that you really realise how rude or uncaring or unattractive certain types of behaviour are.  Ironically, it’s not that I actually take umbrage […]

Missed Your New Years Resolution? Go for the Chinese one like me!

Missed Your New Years Resolution?  Go for the Chinese one like me!

I’m not a fan of New Year Resolutions.  On Jan 1st we tend to be knackered, broke, and there’s a hell of a lot of pressure associated to them.  Plus, most people fall off the bandwagon within a few days/weeks.  At the end of last year I panicked because I was meant to be launching […]

How Play Dates help with school and bullying

How Play Dates help with school and bullying

So I have mentioned in a post a few weeks back that Curly Headed Boy wasn’t very happy in reception (first year of school).  Last week I explained how I had tackled one of the problems, which is that he often feels overly criticised by the children in his class.  So, I thought I would […]

When your child thinks that ‘everyone’ is against him

When your child thinks that ‘everyone’ is against him

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that Curly Headed Boy is struggling with his first year at school a little, but we have a plan in place to work on it, and I promised to mention the different things I try, so here is one of them: He happens to be on a table with […]

When the environment we are in doesn’t encourage us to blossom

When the environment we are in doesn’t encourage us to blossom

We are a bit like plants, and our children are too.  Some environments help us to blossom, and some are more of a struggle. Put us in the right soil, with exactly the right amount of cold, heat, and water, and we’ll take off like a tree and blossom amazingly. Put us in a place […]
