Poor Mental Health has played a big part in my own life and the lives of many other bloggers that I meet along my travels in Blogland. I cannot find the words to express adequately just how important I feel Black Dog Tribes work is in the big scheme of things. So many people are [...]

Year one phonics screening test Things move quick in education. There are so many changes that it only takes a few months out of class to feel out of the loop. This is why I was pleased to read the post from WAHM BAM http://www.wahm-bam.org/2012/02/the-year-1-phonics-screening-test/ on the education showcase last week. This was an informative [...]

…And PND Makes Three – Don’t Mess with Rule Number 1 Oh shiiiiiiit. I broke the bloody rules and now my son’s started waking up at 5.30 again. SHIT. He’d been doing this since forever until about a month ago when one miraculous morning, my atheist screams of ‘For God’s sake’ must have been mistaken [...]
When’s the last time you tried cooking something totally outside your comfort zone? When’s the last time you tried making a dish from a totally new part of the world? When’s the last time you cracked open a brand new cookery book? Good food is often about fresh inspiration and taking (calculated) risks. What are [...]
Do you ever find that you can’t keep up with all the activity on your social networks? I have my own, my Special Needs Jungle and various companies I manage social media for so I need to keep up-to-date with new followers and what’s being said. So here’s a tip for managing social networks and [...]
Being decisive about indecision Today I had one of those random days where I decree that our Kingdom must be spotless… RIGHT NOW! And my subjects must assist or stay out of my speed vacuuming, cupboard de-cluttering, oven-scrubbing way. “Out damn spot. OUT!“ they could hear my cry from the safety of the park across [...]
Well my lovelies, this week Kate and I really are travelling, we’re off to Italy for a very quick weekend to see the family, drink wine and eat pasta, pizza and polenta. Who’s Kate? You must remember – she’s part of the Red Baron brigade sent out from chasingducksblog.com and I’m to take her second photo [...]
Brit Awards 2012! Did you watch it this year? I have mix emotions about it. It was emotional and a bit funny too don’t you think? I was happy to see Adele awarded again – BRITISH ALBUM OF THE YEAR – her music and her voice go straight to my heart. I wasn’t surprised when [...]
Morning everyone! I’m really sorry I wasn’t around much last week; me and the rest of the family have been so poorly and we’re only now starting to feel a bit better. When I was younger, I used to catch everything going but since my first pregnancy back in 2008, I’ve been as hardy as [...]
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Mr J and I are thinking about signing our 4-year old son up to an activity – something to help him burn off some of his huge amounts of energy, and perhaps even to spark an interest in a particular sport. His dad – a sports fanatic – [...]

So long, farewell… Today I said goodbye to a friend, a fellow expat, who arrived here from the UK shortly after us. He’s accepted a post in Vancouver, BC. Yeah, he’ll still be in the same country, but at a little under three thousand miles away, it’s not much different to him being back in [...]
Hi everyone, welcome to this week’s Love Fashion Blogs Showcase! Last week, I asked the question ‘Which is your favourite era in fashion?’ and I got loads of responses. From 1950′s New Look dresses ( a favourite of mine) to the freedom afforded by the Swinging Sixties, many people had a specific point in fashion [...]
If you’ve had enough of me talking about marriage then look away now because there is more to come! This year is a leap year which means that tradition allows women to propose to their men. I wrote about my thoughts on the subject this week because although I am desperate to get married there is [...]
“You have a face for radio” is an old phrase. It’s also a potentially misleading one if you haven’t heard it before. Find an impressionable youngster whose voice is still breaking and watch them swell with pride for several moments. Then the dusty cogs in their brain start turning and that pride turns to confusion. [...]

Does charity begin at home? For me this week charity begins on home screen on my PC, new to the Love all blogs team, it’s my first weekly showcase. I was nervous, what should I write? After reading through last weeks showcases I felt inspired, inspired by bravery. I’ve had experiences with cancers with loved [...]
