Positively Inspirational Round-up: Appreciating who we are

I’m sat here in my dining room with the patio doors open and I’m looking out to newly bloomed flowers, fresh green grass and a bright sun, what is not to like?  It feels very easy to write the Positively Inspirational round-up this month, Spring is here and that in itself is a reason to [...]

Health Round-up: A bumper start to 2013

  Happy New Year one and all! Welcome to the first health round-up of 2013 and boy, it’s a bumper edition this month.

Good Reads: Thrush, depression & more

Working Parents Round-Up: Weighing in the new year

  Everyone is talking about weighing at the moment. It’s diet this, diet that, fitness this, and fitness that; and it’s driving me nuts. I like cake, my kids like it, so why can’t you all just leave me in peace to eat it? This lady just doesn’t do New Year resolutions for anything; not anymore. [...]

Health round-up: Diabetes, hyperemesis gravidarum and Christmas wishes

  As 2012 – the Jubilee year with a phenomenal summer of sport – draws to an end, we have another Royal celebration to look forward to next year…the birth of a Royal baby! Of course, pregnancy isn’t always easy and, as parents, I am sure we all sympathise with HRH The Duchess of Cambridge [...]

Laugh Out Loud round-up: The funny side of parenting

  It’s strange the way each month a theme seems to develop linking a large number of the funny posts suggested to me – without me needing to be all bossy and say well it’s October so I want stuff on conkers and Halloween. And no that’s not this month’s theme,  because the themes really [...]

Travel Round-up: Camels, lizards & wet whippets

  It’s been a few weeks since we returned from our summer holiday in Sweden and I’m still writing about it, bit by bit, on my blog. I don’t blog while I’m actually away. I like to keep a notebook and scribble things down, save leaflets, brochures, highlight things in guide books. It makes for [...]
