Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Great book - lots of examples and quotes from real parents. Always leaves me feeling positive and 'yes - I can do this'.

"This is one of the most important books I've read since having my son. It's full of really helpful information and tips from professionals plus experiences of other parents." "It covers important issues that rarely get a mention in parenting books - like emotional support for kids going through a hard time, supporting learning without pushing them too hard, food issues, squabbling, bullying, school issues etc.." "Good from birth up to 11 years. I like its tone." "It's supportive, a bit like talking to friends, and not at all preachy. It treats parents as intelligent life forms. I couldn't recommend it enough."
