I'm first - are the rest of you still in bed!

If you enjoy reading or writing short historical version I've got an interview with Sally Bland, editor of Snapshots of History, on my blog

National Poetry Day today. The theme is 'stars' so I've ignored that and written about the Post Office.

Wean or Not To Wean?

I just found you all! I am very excited to have a great number of blogs to go and read, I have read some of them already, they are all brilliant and make me nervous!
Like homelessmummy I am new to blogging, new to MN Bloggers.

A rant about how news has turned us into emotional vampires

Do You Discuss the News With Your Kids?

A diy project from me displaying children's art

I'm battling with my inner demons on the blog this week.. It's Misty.. Seriously

I found this interesting

I discovered a WP plug-in that takes literally minutes to install and does all the work for you. When someone clicks on a broken link, it shows this

So I've gone for a ranting Friday theme today:

A quietish blog week for me as my wife is still away and it's potty training time which is keeping me busy (and thoroughly entertained!)

But I have had time to post these two so far...

Home Alone 4 - Is two company and three a crowd? All about adjusting to having my wife away and then back again
Mulberry Jam recipe - I love picking fruit, free food!
