I love to listen to audiobooks, often popping my earbuds in when I am hanging out washing or doing other housework, when I am working on my iPad, or when I am lying in the dark resting my eyes during a bad head day. I have an audible subscription where I pay for a number …
May began with Georgie turning 7, and me in a state of slight shock that I’ve now been a parent for seven years. It’s amazing how fast time flows by, I still remember her as a tiny baby, as an inquisitive toddler, and a shy pre-schooler. Now, our Georgiana is a lovely little girl – …
The girls and I picked out some of our favourite picture books and recorded a video chatting about them, and I thought I would share them in a blog post as well for you all! Some of these books were sent to us very kindly by the publishers (thank you!) to check out, and some …
Ladybird Books challenged us to a special Easter challenge, to celebrate the release of their new Hey Duggee book, Follow That Egg!
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the lovely picture book Five Minutes’ Peace by Jill Murphy, Walker Books invited me to join in their blog tour, and sent me a little home pampering set.
Today I am taking part in a very special “Bear Book Blog Tour” (try saying that 5 times fast!) to celebrate the wickedly hilarious new picture book from Walker Books; I Am Bear.

Nobody wants to read anything too serious when summertime rolls around, do they? I know I certainly don’t. Not that my reading is usually so very high brow, of course, but when the sun is shining and I’m lazing in the park with a book as the girls play, I just want some happy fluffy fiction …
Ad disclosure: I was sent two Quick Reads paperbacks and a bar of Galaxy as a thank you for posting about the Quick Reads scheme. This post reflects my unbiased opinion. When I was offered some books and chocolate to enjoy, I wasn’t about to say no. I am a book addict… I’m one of …
It is common knowledge that I am a complete bookworm; I tried to keep an up to date blog series of “Recent Reads” but got bogged down by the sheer number of books I was reading. Instead of talking about every book I’ve read lately, here are some of my recent favourites instead. With the …
