Must buy Miss M a kettle

I often wonder about the time my girls will decide to spread their wings.  I imagine them as tall as me, Miss M possibly taller.  Young, head-strong, ready to take on the world.   Small pristine ships about to set sail.
I think of them building a home for themselves.  Will they rent or buy?  Have [...]

Who lives in a house like this? Celtic Haven we’re moving in!

Come on in, let me show you round…

Isn’t it gorgeous?
This was our home for three days and two nights.  Three days of pretending that this little bit of heaven was ours.
On the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline, known for its tales of pirates and fairies, our weary travellers arrived at their destination on a dark and rainy [...]

Does this make me a bad person ToysRUs

Why does this not make me a bad person?
Well because I am trying to help the lovely people at Zapf Creations by improving a classic design in a way that would mean my kids would be interested in this Baby Born Magic Feeding Girl Doll.
Why?
Well, Miss E is 10 and already has several Baby Borns [...]

The one where my child wishes for the untimely demise of every adult in our family

Miss M had her first independent play-date a couple of weeks ago.  When I say independent, I mean she went to a friend’s for tea, without me or any other friends, being there.
Before you have me down as an evil Mummy from planet evil who wears her best evil pants every other day to ensure [...]

Take Gran and Grandad away

Since becoming a single parent I’ve learned many things, but one of the most importantthings I have learned is that I am a very lucky girl. I am a very lucky girl because I have a family who will truly be there when I need them.
This past week my Mum and Dad have been amazing. [...]

Bodger and Badger would love a bit of weird science

Watch out Chanel, Miss E Beaufoix and her friend Miss L are on the scent trail with something that is completely new.  Seriously, you have never smelt anything like it.
Forget your No 5, No 19, Coco or Allure.  At Chez Beaufoiz we have L’Eau de Sunday Lunch, perfect for those cold winter nights or when [...]

Ben 10 in pink? The mind boggles

Is it bad that Toys R Us have been my babysitter/childminder for the past few weeks?
Hmmmm, don’t answer that.
There are just two more days till I finally see my Doctor and ask her that question.  It’s been a hell of a few weeks and to be honest I possibly couldn’t have done it without the [...]

Cartwheeling with a Toys R Us Giraffe

La famille Beaufoix has a new role.  Or is it have a new role?
Anyway it is very serious and important and fabulous and one we plan to fulfill to the best of our abilities.
It will be tough.
There may be hard times, tears, squabbles, possibly even bruises, but we will soldier on because we live to [...]

Dolphins actually Fart quite a lot – Discovery Cove v Aquatica

I know, I know, it’s at least a month and a half since I was lucky enough to experience the joys of sunny Florida with some very yummy mummies, but I now realise there is something I’ve been putting off.
I mean, there was that little thing of a week of walking 84 miles for charity, [...]
