In a blatant attempt to make you all jealous, here is my post about my Christmas Bread Baking Course at River Cottage. It was FABULOUS.

Maybe next year she'll like Father Christmas! :o)

hurray for same-sex marriage! I've written about a time I walked out of a church playgroup because they were distributing a petition against it.

Christmas Parties and Christmas Pudding Cake Pops

I blogged about the chaos of doing Christmas crafts in a cafe with children and cake ! (I love alliteration.)

I have board book recommendations for babies and toddlers on storysnug.com today.

Lovely post, PigeonPair. I've had the odd church-play-school eek moment, but nothing as overt as that.

I'm still off-loading all my Christmas angst. The perfect Christmas present from the perfect Christmas Boyfriend

With the holidays coming up, what better time to make some bread with your youngsters with the original playdough - which you can go on and bake and eat after they've finished playing with it?

Do You Live Near A House Like This?

Vitamins and supplements that seem to helping with the tiredness I don't care if they just give me expensive wee

cjfriess, great recommendations thanks-I have a few children I wasn't sure what to buy for, some lovely ideas there!

It's been a while, busy busy busy, but I've blogged. I was spurred into writing because of Homerton hospital's decision to reduce the size of its home birth team, including removing one midwife against her will. It has been a fantastic resource and Angela Barry, the removed midwife, was amazing and instilled such confidence into women. 9% of the women that went via the homebirth team had a caesarean section compared the to 26% rate at the hospital. To say I'm miffed for my ladies is an understatment.

Anyhoo... The Illusion of Choice

I finally got around to blogging about my love of advent calendars.

Remembering my fall down the weight loss rabbit-hole...
Vanishing Point ? Losing my mind to anorexia

Why I had 2 forks in my work bag today

This weeks reasons to be cheerful

10 years since my Daddy died

I took part in the chat here yesterday with Nigel Slater and he told me what to cook for tea here's the results (Obviously I'm not going to miss out on the chance to blog that one!)
