Eating porridge with a fork – another curse of the working mother

December 8, 2011

The life of the working mother is a constant juggling act. I try to be around for my kids each morning before I go to work, to kiss them and cuddle them, whilst at the same time trying not to get milk or porridge on my office clothes. Then I have to leave them in [...]

I did something amazing yesterday

November 24, 2011

This is the geekdaughter’s latest favourite piece of jewellery. It came in a party bag from a birthday party she was at last weekend. It won’t have been very expensive, but that’s not the point.

November 21, 2011

“They say true friends can go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship.

Do you take pictures of yourself with your kids?

November 2, 2011

I don’t have many pictures of myself with my kids. Which seems ironic, given that I’m married to a professional photographer… The geekdaddy takes lovely pictures of the kids, and I take loads of snapshots of them with my iPhone, but we don’t have many pictures of us with them. In fact we do not [...]

September 29, 2011

Do you remember, a few months ago now, I discovered I was a finalist in the MAD Blog Awards, and I asked you if you would vote for me. Well, the day of the big awards ceremony has finally arrived. This morning I am handing the kids over to lovely friends and family who are [...]

iPads in supermarket trolleys

September 7, 2011

Thanks to my friend Perry over at A Little Geeky for drawing my attention to this article in the Telegraph last week announcing that the supermarket chain Sainsbury’s are trialling some new supermarket trolleys that include an iPad dock.

Happy Birthday Freddie

September 5, 2011

Do you remember where you were when you heard that Freddie Mercury had died? I do. I was at University, at the beginning of my third year of studies for a maths degree. It was all rather surreal. I remember walking around campus, hearing Queen music playing from many windows in the accommodation blocks. I even remember [...]
