I look forward to the day when hubby says he will do the washing up, and he actually washes ALL the dishes including the greasy cast iron frying pan and the one with oatmeal bits on the bottom… I look forward to the day when I can pass the toilet in …
As we walked home from school yesterday, Alexandra (5) slipped her slightly sticky hand into mine. Unlike her sisters, who always run ahead with their friends, Alexandra prefers to stay with me and discuss her day…
"Emma got a haircut," she started out, now swinging my hand energetically. "It's really, really short," and there was something in the way she said this that struck me the wrong way. This was the first I had heard of Emma and I wondered if she was a new girl…
"She looks like a boy!" Alexandra exclaimed and she squelched her nose up disapprovingly. I could just imagine my daughter and her little friends cattily discussing this haircut. My stomach dropped to my toes.
I did it, I'm a Bly-ray Ambassador. With more rain and shorter days on the horizon, the lure of new Disney flicks in the new high definition Blu-ray format was just too much to ignore.

Alexandra (5) shot into my room last night; it was getting close to 9.30. She does this most evenings — her main aim to get an extra cuddle (which I’m all too happy to provide). “Mummy, come look. There’s something funny in the toilet!” Her blue eyes were quizzical instead of the usual pleading. I couldn’t …
It’s taken me seven and a half years to get to this point: I’m going to Paris with my friends. For three whole days and two nights. Without kids. And I don’t feel one ounce of guilt! I’m leaving our girls (7 and 1/2,5 and 4) with hubby. He’s perfectly willing and …
