I love my smart phone … almost as much as I love my children. And they love it too. Which is why, when there is need for distraction – or perhaps a few moments peace, I confess I give it to them. And I don’t feel too bad. After all, it’s not like plonking...
Looking back, I had so many clear ideas about being a mother. Didn’t you? Then my children arrived. And they had very clear ideas too. Now, all that I know is that the bond between mother and child may be primal, but it is far from simple which is both the premise and the...
Getting everyone to agree on a movie for our family film night is never easy. Negotiations have yet to descend to feisty cuffs, but there have been a few flurries of popcorn. Not so with the all dancing, all singing, all wisecracking, Happy Feet 2, which has been released on DVD and Blu-Ray this...
From the moment the hospital scan revealed my second (and resolutely final) child was another boy, I came to accept fashion wasn’t going to be a priority in our house. Not that I’m a follower myself, but at least with daughters you get to experiment with certain looks and styles as they grow. Boys...
Motherhood … now I could tell you a few stories. But fortunately, dear friends, far better writers than I have got there first. Diana Secker Tesdell has selected and edited a wonderful selection of short stories. Featuring great authors like Amy Tan, Alice Munro, Barbara Kingsolver, Willa Cather and Colm Toibin, Stories of Motherhood...
Getting my boys to sit still is like trying to get a straight answer out of a politician. Near impossible. So when the lovely folk at Kids Bee Happy sent us some sand art packs, I knew my sons would be enthusiastic – but wondered how long it would take for the novelty to...
Reading is my escape. Even when pushed towards the very last few moments of the day, as it is so often, it is as essential to me as morning cuddles with the hipster and kidlets. And you know what it’s like, I’m quite choosy about what I read. It’s a treat so gone are...
When I became a parent nobody mentioned that I would lose control of the music in my car. It happened quite slowly. At first I played the occasional nursery rhyme. Then some percussion pieces and a few story books. Until at the age of five, Milly became cool. Too cool apparently for Radio 4,...
It’s not often we have something in common with Supermodel Gisele Bundchen. You’ll be surprised to know we don’t go to the same parties, we don’t hang out in the same beauty salons and we don’t eat (does she eat?) at the same restaurants. We know. You’re shocked, right? But we recently discovered our...
Everyone has their family traditions at Christmas. One of my favourites is snuggling on the settee with my sproglets, some marshmallows and large cups of hot chocolate to watch Polar Express. My five and three-year-olds become completely immersed in the white-knuckle roller coaster ride to the North Pole. But the true magic of the...
