This afternoon, I spent 5 minutes or so making a new word flip book for Rosemary, using a Post-it pad. She’s been doing very well with the flip book I made a few weeks ago and that we’ve been adding to, which started off just with the first letters they …
Superheroes Witches Hope you all had a fantastic Halloween.
It’s my birthday today and to celebrate I have two giveaways for you. Vosene have recently developed a range of preventative nit hair care, designed to repel nits. We’ve had some for a while and so far Rosemary (and the rest of us) have stayed nit free, though I keep …
Clothing at Tesco sent us these halloween costumes to try out – and the post office finally got them to us yesterday. It’s a little late to get them in time for Halloween, but it’s half price on what they have left, so why not stock up on some costumes …
Every now and then, Rosemary goes off (with her suitcase) for a sleepover to my mum’s. Last night she had her first sleepover at her cousin’s, so she could watch the fireworks, which she enjoyed. The last two times she’s gone for a sleepover, we’ve moved Eleanor’s cot into her …

As you probably know, Rosemary started school a few weeks ago. She seems to really enjoy it and even tells us some of the things she’s done on a given day, only rarely uttering the till now ubiquitous ‘Nothing!’ Though they are starting slowly and still mostly concentrating on letting …
The picture’s just a pretty picture and absolutely nothing to do with the post. If Rosemary wasn’t in bed already, I’d go take a photo of her wardrobe, or get her to dress up in her skeleton costume to illustrate it properly. But, instead I want to show off this …
Rosemary’s only at school for the mornings for a few weeks, so we’re trying to make sure her afternoons aren’t only filled with DVDs and acrobatics. Eleanor’s still going to my mum’s for the whole school day, so there’s an opportunity for one of us to spend some one-on-one time …
Rosemary started school on Friday: She enjoyed herself and was pleased with the pictures she drew, but was rather disappointed to not have got homework. When I reminded her that she probably wouldn’t get homework for quite a while, she cried. Definitely my daughter, then. I surprised myself (and others) …
