It’s my birthday today and to celebrate I have two giveaways for you. Vosene have recently developed a range of preventative nit hair care, designed to repel nits. We’ve had some for a while and so far Rosemary (and the rest of us) have stayed nit free, though I keep …
Rosemary’s always been quite interested in the body – especially bones and skeletons. Last Wednesday, at school, they went to visit the Life Education Bus, where they got to find out about the human body. Apparently, she was answering lots of the questions and very interested. That evening, she interrupted …
It’s Rosemary’s fourth birthday on Thursday. That is, of course, a post in itself and maybe I’ll write it on Thursday, at some point. But this post is all about party bags. Rosemary is having a ‘Go Bananas Birthday’, which is what she has been asking for since the day …

We’re currently staying with Grandma and Grandpa for half-term. This is wonderful for everyone – Rosemary and Eleanor get played with and doted on for a whole week, and Chris and I get to relax more than we can do pretty much any other time. Oh yes, and Grandma and …
Following in the footsteps of A Modern Mother and The Wife of Bold, I thought we would see what Rosemary would come up with. And I thought it was only fair to ask her the same questions about Chris. Here are the results: Mummy What is something Mummy always says …
