Little Snowflake comes up with the most amazing little character ideas. There she was sitting in the kitchen blowing up balloons. I was just washing up and then suddenly she said “Mummy what do you think of this?” There before my eyes I saw two balloons stuck to each other. One little and one big! It looked like a balloon bomb.
She then got hold of the black marker pen and started to…
Saturday morning I was playing around with one of my little girl’s Bratz Dolls. I had read Monica’s write-up about Tanith Carey’s book “Where has my little girl gone?” And I felt a sense of relief that a Mother had published such a powerful message to give hope for change for our little girls future. The Bratz doll was mentioned and I felt it was time to change this…
This photograph of Cleo De Nile, who is one of the Monster High Dolls, is wearing my very own Cleopatra costume, which I made for my daughter’s friends’ birthday. I asked her Mother this week what she would like and she gave me the Monster High dolly.
I have to admit I adore Egyptian history and have always been drawn to Cleopatra through her beauty and sheer confident presence.
The above Dracula bat dress, bat wings, bat mask and cobweb hat was something I made recently for my little girl’s dolly who is called Draculaura (Monster High Doll.)
This doll reminds me of the old days when I was a goth. Yes I know, best hide those photographs from my little girl as we do not want her following in Mummy’s footsteps! Funny thing is the costume I made for myself when…
When I was looking through the London Mums’ blogs I came across Tanith Carey’s amazing book called “Where has my little girl gone?” I am so excited about this book and hope it creates the change we need to protect our little girls from our plastic world.

Since I stopped working as a PA in London I seem to have problems knowing what day it is. This year I decided to make a change and to be more organised. Also my family and friends will find it quite amazing that I have stopped being late for everything, so that is worth a giggle in itself.

Mums and Dads have to constantly find new things to do with the children. We all know those five words they use so often “I’m bored, what can I do?”
When my little girl was five we put out ordinary nuts to feed the birds and also to attract the squirrels. We made a path of nuts up to our back door so we could see them from the window. And they came. I cannot express the joy my…
