Parentonomy: Play

I’ve had difficulty writing this post. Not because I don’t know what to say. But my two boys keep bursting into the room, asking me to help them rebuild their ‘den’. This is a duvet draped over a variety of objects – a chair, a blackboard, a rocking horse – to make a little...

Ready for the M&S Big Beach clean up on May 11th?

Ready for the M&S Big Beach clean up on May 11th?

Beach combing in wellies; one of our favourite activities. After all, sun bathing is for (very very lucky) wimps. There are so many hidden treasures to find. Speckled shells, driftwood from far off places, strange looking sponges, tangled seaweed and sometimes even a pebble that looks like poo (tee hee!) Thank goodness so many...

There’s always time to play

There’s always time to play

When children start school, it’s easy to tell yourself they’re getting everything they need between 9am and 3pm. Especially when it comes to being active. My Brodie comes home, flops down on the couch and reaches for the remote control. Because he’s exhausted, right? Mentally perhaps. But not physically, it seems. A study published...

Until recently I’d have been slightly miffed to be called a Mutti. But, as my sister Alex explains, it is a compliment. And when written on a gingerbread heart, irresistible. Here Alex – who has been living in Germany off and on for the last three years – shares her grand idea for a...

Ok, there’s just no way to say this nicely. The Justified Ancients of Mumu are just plain wrong, dagnabbit. (For our younger readers, they chanted that it was “Grim Up North” in the 90s … I know I’m showing my age) So it’s not always as sunny as other areas of the UK. But when the sun shines...

The 52 Week Project #7

The 52 Week Project #7

How has half term been for you? Donna’s boys have had some challenging play dates, and my three have had a fabulous week, despite our snotty noses. We met loads of friends – some of which made the trek to the west coast which was so lovely of them. We also had a few...

Spreading the love

Spreading the love

Valentine’s Day during half term? Surely a passion killer but for the wonderfully, sensitive and downright romantic lovelies at Warner Bros. Our door bell rang early on V Day. Not much to be excited about there. But when my husband arrived with two massive boxes my heart began to flutter as if I was...

Why I love this photo

Why I love this photo

The reason for their trip and the adventures they had along the way are lost to us now. But even though you can’t see their faces, the way they stand together speaks of friendship, energy, optimism and excitement.   I wonder if they had any inkling about how events on the international stage would...
