Making my way. One day at a time.
Sandra from Kids Bee Happy sent me some sand art packs to review. My children whooped with delight considering they absolutely loved the sand art at our Christmas Party last year (that sounds such a long time ago). The little packs come in boys or girls style pictures and the transformers and car pack was [...]

The report was initiated and created by a group of disabled activists who decided to do something about the plans that were being put through by our [...]
Image: Damian Brandon / FreeDigitalPhotos.net I did one of these memes about a year or so ago so I thought it was maybe time to update my divaesqueness. I don’t do very many memes so here we go. This one came from the lovely @mummycentral ladies over at Mummy Central (by the way ladies, nice makeover [...]

After avoiding Eastenders when the baby saga was on, I had decided not to watch it any more at all, but I [...]
Most of us are guilty of it, and I have many a time scraped the leftover food into our dogs dish, or given her a treat or few from what we are eating. Apart from a vague knowledge that grapes and chocolate are not that great for dogs, I had not really looked into it [...]

Saturday was a revelation. A group of parents run a special needs club at the weekends, with the support of a school and the grateful advice and help from the National Autistic Society. We borrow a school premises and open up to children with ANY type of disability up to the age of 14 in [...]
