the geek family
Welcome to the geekmummy blog. I am the geekmummy, my real name is Ruth, wife to John (the geekdaddy), and mummy to two geek children. Our daughter, Catherine, hereafter referred to as the geekdaughter, is a delightful, boisterous, tech-loving pre-schooler. Our son, David, known as the geekson, was born in May 2010, and is already proficient at operating an iPad and pressing random buttons on the television remote control!
I’ve been blogging in various different forms since I started a LiveJournal in March 2005. I still intend to re-vitalise my long-dormant World of Warcraft-specific blog called Permanently Lost, but having two kids means I have a lot less time for gaming these days. John and I also produce a podcast called Just Relax, It’ll Happen, which started off as an infertility podcast when we were struggling to conceive, but has evolved into a parenting/geek couplecast. Again it’s been a while since our last episode, but we still intend to record more!
Technology and general geekery form a daily part of our lives. This blog was established in August 2010 as a way to share geek news, reviews and advice that is relevant to parents, as well as family news and milestones that the children achieve. I aim to bring you regular updates on things that interest me, or that I find useful. The geekdaddy might stick his oar in a sometimes as well 
We live in Cheshire, in England, and whilst there is some UK-specific content on this blog, a lot of geek stuff is universal, so I hope this blog will have world-wide appeal.
My attitude to life can be summed up by the following quote:
Work like you don’t need the money,
Dance like there’s nobody watching,
And love like you’ve never been hurt.

Hi Ruth, I’ve just recently discovered you’re blog on ‘British Mummy Bloggers’ and I have to say, it’s proving to be an excellent read! Gotta go cook dinner for my little munchkins so, I shall resume reading later

I am a science teacher so am also a geek but not in a technology way which is terrible! I love all your graffics and features and have no idea how to do any of them.
Enjoying your blog.
