Bex and Oscar are getting older and finding a film to go and see at the cinema that both would love and us too is getting increasingly tricky. Many a holiday we would have a family treat to the cinema and I kind of miss that. While watching the trailer to Madagascar 3 I was sat there thinking yes I am sure I could at least get Oscar to see it with me. The film makers at Dreamworks think about us parents too. Many a Dreamworks film I have watched and sat there giggling and smiling sometimes as much as the children, quite often even more. The humour of the film makers often come through for us adults too whilst making in totally child friendly. So these guys have ended up in Europe … Read entire article »

A Meningitis reminder
Just over a year ago I typed this post. It was a very sad time and one for me now thinking about it makes me feel as sad. Today I am writing this post just as a reminder that meningitis can strike at anytime to anyone.

So how was Mother’s Day for you?
It’s funny one Mother’s Day isn’t it? As I am more of a giving rather than receiving kind of person and sadly I don’t as such have a Mum to share Mother’s Day with it leaves me on the receiving end.
