Hope everyone has a magical and merry Christmas. It’s been a busy year for everyone at angels & urchins, not least because the magazine celebrated its tenth birthday. A huge, old fashioned tea party was held in the centre of London, with fun and games for all. Grown ups were treated to a mug – [...]

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

Well travelled Christmas presents
December 1st, 2011
December 1st, 2011
The first of December. Â A ticking timebomb of a day when I start the countdown till the big one appears on the 25th, tallying what’s yet to be done, and the quiet satisfaction of ticking off what’s already been achieved. My festive preparations are almost half way there, and as we’re not hosting this year [...]

Make a Christmas Advent calendar?
November 25th, 2011
November 25th, 2011
What was I thinking? I’m afraid. Very afraid. A cutesy, fabric make-your-own Advent calendar has domestic goddess smugness in its very DNA. I saw one for ÂŁ12.99 at Lakeland, had visions of quiet evenings sewing in front of the fire, and congratulating myself about the clever presents I’d pop in all the pockets. Here’s what [...]

November 20th, 2011
November 20th, 2011
To kick off the blogging week, and to give inspiration for when the festive season is over and the dark, cold months stretch ahead, angels & urchins blog talked to author Amanda Egan. Aka the Mummy Misfit, Amanda’s hilarious book about a couple sacrificing luxuries to see their only son Max through private education makes laugh-out-loud reading. [...]

Heard on the playground
November 16th, 2011
November 16th, 2011
Heard on the Playground is a website from the US, but the humour (or should that be ‘humor’?) crosses the pond pretty well. I particularly liked the examples above and below, and have a son whose mind works in just the same way. For example, when he saw a scan picture of a younger brother [...]

The lure of the Xfactor zombie
November 13th, 2011
November 13th, 2011
I promised myself I wouldn’t get sucked into Xfactor this year. Being emotionally manipulated by Simon Cowell makes Sunday night blues worse, even though we’ve  never voted for any of the contestants, and therefore don’t need to feel guilty about putting money in Mr Square Top Head’s pocket. Despite the good intentions I’ve just watched [...]

Royal Brompton Cardiac Unit – update
November 8th, 2011
November 8th, 2011
Sometimes there’s good news. And this particular piece of good news proves that occasionally individuals can make a difference. Way back in March, angels & urchins blog learned that, due to cuts in Government spending, some of which affected the NHS, the Royal Brompton Children’s Cardiac Unit was slated to close. This was despite the [...]
