Making my way. One day at a time.
The CLIC Sargent Yummy Mummy Week is the 10th to 18th March 2012. Anyone can join up and do something positive to help children with cancer.

Thank you to Warner Bros. for the lovely gift box that arrived her on the morning of the 14th February. It was a hectic day as the man of the house started a new job and was out of the house by 6am. He didn’t make it home until about 8pm and was so tired [...]
It was Internet safety day yesterday, and while I didn’t get to writing a post about it, I came across something that is aimed at children which worried me. I am pretty vigilant with my boys lives online, which is probably a bit hypocritical considering how large my own online footprint is these days, but [...]
We were sent Dolphin Tale from Warner Brothers to review. I am not quite sure where to start with this film. It’s based on the Real Life story of Winter the dolphin. Sad, funny, poignant and a lesson on overcoming disability when she has to learn to live without her tail. I had half an [...]

Saying that, it irritates me to the core how much politicians actually get away with publically without being sacked like the [...]

If this post offends your sensibilities however, I apologise not…. I do have an issue with all the perfect specimens of the human race who make no mistakes [...]
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 [...]
