Christingle traditions
Today we went to one of the local Christingle services. I was a little worried as I wasn’t sure how N would behave in the church having not been in one since he was christened. I was hoping he’d enjoy…
The Christmas tree is finally up
Whoop. Very exciting. Finally our Christmas tree has been brought down from the roof; I spend yesterday evening putting it up and decorating it. I have a purple and silver theme and have bought new items over the years. I…

Thought for the day: Loos
Ok so it’s to do with parenting in a very round about way, but what is it with loos (or toilets, whichever you prefer)? Is it only me that dreads going into a public toilet cubicle where the lids down…
