There’s a story to the first bit of todays post. It is long. Are you ready? So, Groovy Mom’s son, superdork made this video, or at least added his own bits… “I’m a firin’ ma laser” And in response, Holly’s kids, Queen of Hearts and The Thrower, made this… And Miss E and Miss M loved it so much they [...]

When they set off, the weather was ok. Not amazing, but there was hope. A farm park seemed like a good idea, so they loaded the car with kids and snacks and headed off to Matlock in the stunning Derbyshire Peak District. As they drove, things got a little darker. The mist rolled in… And images of Heathcliff and Catherine [...]

A small, sleep warm child clambers into bed with me. Her Daddy is getting dressed and ready for work, but it’s half term, so there’s no rush for us. Miss E is still sleeping, her soft snores heard through her door when I checked on her half an hour ago. Miss M squeezes me hard in a big [...]

It rocks. It truly does. I have proof. We spent every evening at the kids disco. No, not all night, are you mad? Just till it finished at half eight. The kids danced, the adults drank, well, ok, we danced a bit too. And everyone was happy. Miss E was a funky monkey, and Miss M shook her thang [...]

The fantabulous Walks Far Woman who is having a little break at the moment but I hope will be feeling much better soon, tagged me with this some time during Bert, and I started it, then kind of got sucked into word counts etc. But Cami has tagged me now too, so I thought [...]

Ok. No bottoms today. I promise. But instead, I am here to educate Cami and Troy on the delights of Fruit Shoots and Jaffa Cakes. So, I will put my teachers hat on. Ahem. Pens down everybody. Cami, stop fiddling with your phone. Troy, I am over here, not under the table. Now, [...]

I nabbed this from lovely Lee at Wit’s End. Only she gets to be all deep pink and gorgeous while I get, erm, this… you are light cyan Your dominant hues are green and blue. You’re smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you [...]
