I wrote this one last night but have been saving it. On adapting children's books for the stage

We finished decorating Gingerblossom, the gingerbread house ! (And when I say "we", I mostly mean "I")

Last night we got the DD's Piano exam results.

What will you have on your door this Christmas? www.alisonpike.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/06/christmas-wreaths/ ‎

I have The Monster Machine recommended on my blog today - it's a great book for little monsters everywhere (but don't worry, not scary!).

You can also download a free monster Christmas card to make.

Why do we need Jump! Mag?

You will not believe the card someone sent me a pic of.

I've been reading Roald Dahl with DS1:

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, or Memory Plays Tricks

Wow MmeL. Just wow!

RhinestoneCowgirl all in the interests of saving money but may be at the price of my sanity

I've just posted a comment on your post, ThatDudeSanta! Great post, v thought provoking.

I've just added another post on my son's head injury earlier this week, and a plea to join the campaign to save our local A&E

Da dum da dum! We've made preserved peppers for Christmas prezzies ... hope to goodness they taste OK

MmeL I'm shocked beyond words!

This week I blogged about That thing that I don't have enough of...

I think we all feel this way at this time of year!

oooh, well that went a wee bit viral. Had TONS of hits.

That's good mmeL :)

do you teach a 4 year old to blow his nose? Anyone got any ideas?

Oooh I'm late this week, I apologize!

Would love your opinions on whether I should compete or not, post a comment and make me smile lol :)

That's really interesting MmeL. Good that Hallmark got their say but unfortunate people don't choose to put both sides across. Shocking card though. V surprised it is so old. I assume it was done in spoof originally.

I mean as a bad joke rather than to actually encourage girls to want to date rich men.

Compelling board games brought the whole family together.

And defined personalities.

Me, the sore loser. My brother?s competitive streak. Nan?s gullibility, as our ad hoc rules relating to money laundering, secured her a life stretch in Monopoly Jail, forfeiting any future rights to pass Go.
