The Gallery: Animals

by on August 31, 2011

We’re on holiday this week in the Lake District, and having a lovely time with a large group of friends. That’s a story for another day though. Today I’d like to join in with the lovely Tara Cain’s meme The Gallery. Each week Tara challenges us to share a photo the fits with her chosen theme, and when I found out that this week’s theme was “Animals” I knew I had the perfect picture to share.

Happy Birthday To Me!

by on August 27, 2011

It’s my birthday.

No, not my birthday. This blog’s birthday.

One year ago today, I published my first post. A very innocuous introduction to me and to this blog. At the time I was looking for a little project to keep me occupied whilst on maternity leave from work, having had the geekson three months previously. I had no idea where this blog was going to take me. Even now, when I look back, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come in the space of just one year…

I’d like to introduce you to a new feature that’s going to be a regular here on geekmummy.tv – it’s my App of the Week. Each Friday I’ll be bringing you a report of an app that’s caught my eye over the last week. At the moment these are likely to be mostly, but not exclusively, iPhone or iPad apps. I always love hearing about (and most importantly seeing) new apps, and as people often ask me what apps they should be installing on their devices, I thought this would be a great way of sharing some of my favourites with you.

Learning to be a Lady

August 25, 2011

So the geekdaughter has had a rotten few days, suffering with the chicken pox. We’ve been keeping her dosed up with medicine and plastered in calamine cream. This morning she woke up with a high temperature, so I’ve been keeping the Calpol flowing and taking her temperature on a regular basis. Thankfully she appears to [...]

The thirteen year itch

August 24, 2011

It was my wedding anniversary on Monday. Thirteen years ago the geekdaddy and I gathered a load of our friends and relatives together at the Botleigh Grange Hotel in Southampton, and said “I do”. Thirteen years. That’s quite a long time really, when you think about it. Even longer when I think that we’d been [...]

More Photos for Monday

August 22, 2011

I’ve written before about how much I love the “Silent Sunday” meme. I’ve taken part regularly for a number of weeks now. I always try to find a picture that has a little story behind it, that sums up my week. Sometimes it’s very easy to find that picture, sometimes I’m sitting at my computer [...]

What’s in my handbag?

August 18, 2011

I love the latest project from BritMums! They’re asking us all to reveal “What’s in your handbag?“. I must confess to secretly being rather nosey, and therefore I’m really enjoying the chance to peek into other Mums’ handbags. Some people carry around some really interesting things you know? I’m also a great believer in fairness. [...]

Will walk for ice cream (almost!)

August 16, 2011

The geekson, at the age of 14 and a half months, is so close to walking it’s not true! He’s pulling up on everything, and just wants to spend all his time standing up. He’s confidently cruising around the furniture, and a week or so ago took his very first unassisted step when I stood [...]
