My kid’s friend’s Mum is so cool

My kid’s friend’s Mum is so cool

It’s always kind of nice when your kid’s friends like you.
You know what I mean right?
Because, you remember when you were younger and you’d go round to your mates houses, and there was the scary mum, the strict mum, the stern mum, the funny mum, the nice mum, the silly mum, the cool mum, the [...]

Christmas ponderings from a single mum

Christmas ponderings from a single mum

Christmas has arrived. The tree is up, the lights are aglow  and the Christmas movie watching has begun.
E and M have both been off poorly today so we have cuddled up and watched  Matilda, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Annie.

Vision Express

Vision Express

I admit it.  I have been seduced by the word DESIGNER.  You see, I’ve never had ‘designer’ anything.

The perfect and affordable gift for teachers from The Chocolate Library

Do you buy Christmas prezzies for your kids’ teachers?

Christmas Hampers from Interflora – a perfect prezzie for the one that’s really hard to buy for

Christmas Hampers from Interflora – a perfect prezzie for the one that’s really hard to buy for
