National Bug Busting Day!
February 1st, 2012

The word ‘nit’ is enough to make most of us break out in a rash of head scratching. In my day, those decades ago, head lice affected a tiny percentage of the school age population. Now more than one in three primary school age children can expect to experience an outbreak. Why the rise? Partly [...]

How to read to a classroom of rowdies
January 20th, 2012

Reading to a class of four and five year olds is surprisingly unneverving. I’ve done it a few times at my sons’ school. Your child gets to choose their favourite book, you get to read it to their classmates. The first time I did it I breezed in thinking it would be easy. How hard [...]

Bake, don’t fake, a cake
January 11th, 2012

Sigh. To my lasting shame I didn’t bake a cake for my fourth child’s birthday. I still feel the guilt now, five months on. Anyone who isn’t pinny-inspired and doesn’t feel that a real home is one filled to the brim with homemade calories won’t understand, and might even accuse of focusing a little too [...]

Pah! to cold macaroni cheese
January 9th, 2012

Happy New Year! Inspired by reading so many resolutions from other bloggers I feel that I might break my long-held rule to ignore using the new year to make a new start (why set yourself up for failure…?) and come up with a few ideas I might actually stick to. For the first time in [...]

Happy Christmas!
December 23rd, 2011

Bedtime stories in aid of Save the Children
December 14th, 2011

Well done to the seventeen parent bloggers behind this gorgeously illustrated book. They put it together in aid of Save the Children, and have created a masterpiece! I’m going to buy it and will love reading it to my children this Christmas. Not least because they’re so lucky, unlike so many around the world whom [...]

The Stig in our playground
December 7th, 2011

The Stig visited our elder son’s school yesterday. He created chaos (the Stig that is, not my son), with teachers suspending lessons and mothers trying to pull him into their cars. A pupil had won a prize of a lift home with Stig, and the entire school descended on the playground at home time to [...]
