New Blog Of The Week

After posting on Monday to tell you about the time I crashed my car, I really didn’t expect to be posting again until Thursday. My commitments are such this week that I am very time limited, plus I’m trying to get more sleep. Hence the meagre posting schedule this week.
In only my [...]

What I Learnt From Crashing The Car – Part 1

Taking my children out in the car this morning to enjoy our morning walk with the dog. One of my snotty kids (three of them have colds) said, “Mummy is a better driver than you.”

I replied, “WHAT!”
Clarification was forthcoming in the form of, “Well Mummy has never crashed the car like you.”
Ah. Yes. That’s [...]

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead

I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

I have no idea where I heard that phrase but it was probably a song and doubtless I’ll be told before too long. (Actually, it would be nice to know. )
It’s a nice sentiment. It speaks of living life to the full and not squandering our time [...]

It’s amazing to think that someone else can tolerate my blah enough to want to see it plastered all over their own site.

I wrote about Women’s Work being the hardest work I’ve ever done. It’s by far the most viewed page (6000+ page views) after it was Stumbled (very kindly) by Vered whose excellent blog MomGrind has been a firm favourite of mine since before I even started blogging. Thank you Vered.

I rushed into Teach My Children Well for all the right reasons. Looking back on that decision now I don’t have a single regret. It’s possibly the best thing I’ve done for myself for a long time.

The Hundred Square

I’ve pretty much relied on my own intuition when it comes to parenting.
I know! I’m crazy mad like that! Haha!
I haven’t read a single one of the ‘How To Raise Your Children’ manuals.

The Best Halloween Themed Site

It’s not just because I get on with Blogger Dad like a house on fire, I certainly do. But stepping back and viewing it objectively I can hand on heart say that his site has the best Halloween theme I’ve seen in a long time. Here’s a screen-shot which I’ll keep for posterity, because next [...]
