New LAB Bookmarks
24
May
We’re trialling a new LAB Bookmarks feature on the site at the moment. At the top of every post you’ll see a star icon with ‘Add to your LAB Bookmarks’ written beside it. If you click that it’ll save the post title and link on LAB to it on your ‘Your Bookmarks’ page which you [...]
Annie chooses: ‘Jubilee ‘Crown’ T-Shirt’ by Zing Zing Tree
24
May
For all who are feeling all patriotic here’s something rather nifty for you to turn your hands to. Lately I have read posts on making Union Jack bunting and icing Union Jack cakes biscuits, if like me you are feeling the effects of too much red, white and blue but want to get into the [...]
Annie chooses: “Parenting Classes” by Babberblog
22
May
I love this post from new father Babberblog. It approaches the much discussed topic of parenting classes with a gigantic splash of humour. Brilliantly written in a way that makes you want to keep reading throughout. Lewis takes you through examples of different fathers and their imaginary opinions on what they are thinking about the classes. From James [...]
Annie chooses: ‘Twitter is like…’ by DorkyMum
20
May
Every now and again I come across a post that I read. And then I go back the next day and read it again. And then the day after that I go back and read it yet again. A brilliant post. One that you hear other bloggers buzzing about for days. ‘Twitter is like‘ by [...]

Important: changes to Silent Sunday
19
May
Over the past few weeks more and more folk have been adding text to their Silent Sundays. Whilst it’s not the end of the world it is important to us that we keep Silent Sunday as Mocha Beanie Mummy intended it. Please note: Any post adding words – any words at all - will be removed [...]
How to make a Blog button (For Dummies)
17
May
So, way back in August I began writing my blog, Mum of One. I thought it might be fun but honestly didn’t expect to keep at it for more than a month or two. However within a week I was hooked. I met so many other lovely parent bloggers, I joined twitter, and I discovered [...]
Keynko chooses: ‘Knitted Zebra’ from Mummy & Mimi
17
May
As trawled through the crafty uploads from last week I pondered what would make me choose a favourite? What criteria would I use? Instant appeal, a fetching picture, a nifty new skill that I suddenly needed to learn? But no the final decider was pure and unfettered jealousy because someone else can do something I want [...]
Annie choses: ‘Is a recipe ever truly original?’ from DollyBakes
16
May
I may not have an oven but I do love cooking – and eating and I’m a bugger for trying out new recipes. More often than not I tweak a recipe to suit my tastes and pass it on to a friend, who no doubt does the same again. When I came across a post [...]

Where’s the Instruction Manual?
26
April
Even though my children are now well beyond the baby years, at times I still feel woefully inadequate as a parent. Look at it like this – we would never be offered a job without first sending in a CV or going for an interview, sometimes 2-3 interviews. And then of course there’s the references….. [...]
. Capital Letters (typography meets design)
25
April
I found a website I love. It’s called ‘SHOW US YOUR TYPE‘ and is a project about type and cities. Now as it happens I am quite partial to fonts of all sorts, except Comic Sans which should be doused in petrol & sent to burn in the bad fire, and I also do love [...]
That’s a 100 watt horse you got there, cowboy
25
April
Now let me just start off by telling you that I’m not that into horses. Never have been to be honest. But a horse-shaped lamp that’s so absurdly huge, really rocks my world. I even quite fancy having two of them, one at either side of the bed. Can you imagine how useful that would [...]
Small Things #R2BC
23
April
Many times over the past few weeks I have found the same theme cropping up – being thankful. Blog posts, conversations, excerpts from books, all pointing me towards the same thing. Every Thursday morning I get together with a lovely group of girls from my church. We call it ‘Book Group’ but the content of [...]
Rude Bloggers
23
April
Naming no names, there are some really rude bloggers out there in the blogosphere. They’re the ones who don’t reply to your comments (and when they do they sneakily criticise with a thinly veiled remark), don’t acknowledge you on Twitter, talk only to a select few and basically, really get on my wick.
Convert a Pair of Jeans into a Skirt
23
April
Yes! It can be done! Take one pair of jeans with holes at the knees and turn it into a skirt in less than an afternoon! Fabulous. Am going to see if I can do this with my son’s trousers and turn them into skirts for my daughter! Great bit of recycling and a great [...]
