Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
We received our latest Parragon book for review the other day, and I’ve been trying to persuade N that we should try reading it. I think he’s a bit sick of new books and keeps asking for ‘witch on the…
I’ve had a bit of a slow start to my 50 books in 2014 challenge. I’ve managed 4 books, but those were a struggle. I’ve just got too much blogging on my mind, so really must set out 30 minutes…
I’m a big fan of books and always had my nose in a book when I was a child, so when the opportunity arose to do a shop for Collective Bias® and their client all about our favourite books, I…
I had thought that we hadn’t read much this week, but we’ve not done too badly in the picture book challenge. Not for want of trying to read more, but I think having had a birthday, it means that N’s…

So this is the first week of the 300 picture book challenge, and although I’m already back at work, it’s going pretty well. We tend to read in the morning after the OH’s gone out to work, and when N…
Straight after arriving home from Britmums Live 2013, I was already thinking about what I wanted to do with my blog, and also thinking about next year’s conference. Having planned a bit further in advance this year, I am happy…
As I mentioned before, it’s been a while since I did any crocheting, and have never really followed patterns before so am very much getting back into it and having to relearn stitches. I had started a basic blanket, but…
