We were eating lunch with the girls, sat at the dining table, when we noticed that there was a squirrel in the garden. Not that unusual, really. It was quite a bold one, coming right up to sit on our garden wall to peer in at the window at us, before scampering off. Next thing …
Georgie had some very exciting post last week; an Easter Egg decorating kit that was generously sent to her to have fun with. HRS UK sent the kit as part of their parent blogger Easter competition, so fingers crossed we might even win something nice! As soon as she saw what was inside the parcel she wanted …
I’ve been in two minds about whether to write a post about the MAD Blog Awards nominations this year. When I received a few nominations unexpectedly in this first week I was surprised, pleased, and a little bit proud, so I thought I would write a post after all. Nominations have just opened and so …
I have been a blogger for many years, and have been blogging here at Mama Geek for over two years now.

Today is the first day of a 6 week relay, covering nearly 3000 Miles, undertaken by over 150 bloggers. The baton is to travel …
I am rather known for my long hair; it is normally one of the first things people notice about me, and exclaim over. Well until this week, that is. Having decided that I needed a hair cut, I thought I may as well go for it, make the most of my parents babysitting, and get …
This Christmas the lovely folk over at Halifax decided to share the love and “give people something extra” by sending out vouchers to allow people to buy an extra gift for someone deserving. I was delighted to be invited to take part in this campaign, as a tight budget has made gift buying a challenge …
Merry Christmas, everyone! As I write this post, the tree has been decorated, and the house has been covered with garlands and draped with gold chains.
