  • Where did all the pink custard go?

    BLOG

    Last week The Husband and I were invited into school to sample the school dinners on offer at the 5 year old’s school.
    The 5 year old was beyond excited at the prospect of actually sitting with Mummy and Daddy in the school hall. A little too excited.  The invite went out over a month ago and [...]

  • Clenching One’s Buttocks In The Air

    BLOG

    I have suddenly become a nervous flyer.
    My nervousness was prompted by a trip to Brussels a few months ago on a 32 seater. Like a paper airplane, it felt as though we were being propelled through the air using only an elastic band.
    On the return leg as we came in to land the plane started [...]

    BLOG

    So the lovely Erica at Little Mummy came up with Guest Post Day. Basically everyone interested in doing a guest post had to show an interest and then Erica did a live draw. The best bit … each blogger swaps with another.
    Sharon from Three Kids and the Cat and I were matched and the rest [...]
