Erin received her third pair of new shoes, at £26 they were the most expensive yet, although thankfully I think we are into the upper price range so future pairs should cost the same (or less, if I get them in a sale). I tried to get a link but couldn’t find one, but [...]

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary, three years and counting (!).
I also got a free ticket to [...]

Mother at Large asked me the other day if I had written about bubbles yet, and I was surprised to find, after browsing the archives that I haven’t…
Bubbles are a great quick activity for babies through to about eight or nine. Babies are fascinated by the bubbles they’ll stare at them gliding through the [...]
