Tweet

Do you remember what it was like doing the housework before you had kids? asks John Lewis guest blogger Tamsin McCahill who has two chore-hating boys aged four and two.

Neither do I. That’s because it was a mundane part of life that we all just got on with. These days, simply getting [...]

Last minute weekend away & why we love our scooters

Perfect afternoon at the beach

Tweet

Mr M was offered a chance to do a bit of sailing at the weekend and at almost the very last minute we all decided to head down and spend the weekend away – normally I’m more of a plan in advance than a last minute type but it was wonderful to sneak away together

Top secret – The Ministry of Letters

top secret book

Tweet

Obviously I could tell you about what was inside this package.  But then I’d have to kill you…

Actually not because the letter that came with it for Bigger explained that whilst the Ministry of Letters had had “to operate in complete secrecy on the grounds of national security” they were now able to [...]

The lovely people at Innocent are at it again.  If you get through as many smoothies as we do, you’ll have noticed that they are giving away cute little packs of seeds with every box until the end of April.  There are 6 to collect including carrots, tomatoes, cress, basil, violets and sunflowers and [...]

Warm feet for winter?

How many men does it take to change a pylon

Tweet

The challenge was to delve in to the deepest darkest hollows of [...]

Leapfrog LeapPad Explorer – a thumbs up from us

Tweet

Ok its no secret that in this household we are mostly in the camp of the techno-geek rather than the Luddite.

 

Its probably no surprise that actually we don’t totally enjoy our darling offspring playing with our nice new shiny gadgets.

 

Actually that’s  a lie.  We really don’t like having grubby little [...]

No child born to die

Tweet

I’ve been tagged by Spud and whilst I’m usually rubbish at doing these things (I tend to forget or get stuck on them and then suddenly it is weeks later) but this is a good one. 

More importantly its part of Save the Children’s awareness programme for its No Child Born to Die campaign.

A visit from the Fairy Godmother

Tweet

Its nice when nice things happen unexpectedly.  Like the fact I seem to have gone back into the Tots100 and at number 65 which is even better than when I was in in about 2 years ago and when there were a lot less blogs about.  Feeling quite pleased with myself about it (although [...]

The Innocent Queen of C

Tweet

Innocent are asking everyone to take part in their alphabet game.  If you have an alphabet magnet, go over to their A-Z site and have a look which day your letter falls on.  On that day you can add your photo to their Flickr album or tweet it to Innocentdrinks with [...]
