This Month in the Blogosphere - September 2010

Hard to believe September's over already, huh? The nights are drawing in (boo, hiss); it keeps on raining (more boos and hisses). So grab yourself a lovely cuppa (or possibly something stronger) and I'll take you through my favourite posts for the month of...

How a Spoonful of Perform Helps the Confidence Come Out

Confidence is something that we'd all love to be able to infuse our children with - I'm sure many parents have wished it was something you could bottle and administer now and again. Alas, I fear science still has some way to go on that front... In the meantime,...

First Day at School

Earlier this month, for the first time I really felt like a parent. This might seem like a slightly odd confession given that I have two children; but bear with me and all will become clear :) My eldest is now 3 and this month started doing half-days at a local nursery...

Do you need to be a Parent to express a view on Parenting?

Hello there! A couple of weeks ago I penned a post bemoaning what I saw as overly indulgent parenting - it was always going to be a little controversial - let's face it - posts expressing opinions on parenting inevitably are! I think it's probably fair to say...

Dear readers, this particular post is in grave danger of dissolving into an incoherent rant of epic proportions - hopefully I can hold it together long enough to put forward my argument in a sane and sensible way... Hold on to your hats, boys and girls. Let's travel...

Summertime... But the Living Ain't Easy!

If I had a £1 for every person who said "Oh that must be a lovely job - nice long Summer holidays, huh?", I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams and sunning myself on my own idyllic island - cocktail in hand. I might also have someone peeling me grapes, not...

This Month in the Blogosphere - July 2010

Hello and welcome to this month in the blogosphere - July 2010 edition. Essentially it's a round up post of anything and everything which has made me inadvertently snort tea out of my nostrils, inspired me, made me cry or is otherwise note-worthy. I'm hoping to make...

Is Your Child a Perfectionist?

As a (recovering) perfectionist myself, I spent years labouring under the misapprehension that perfectionism was a 'good' thing. It meant I was dedicated, it meant I did a good job, it meant I was focused. However, it also made me pretty unhappy. There's a big...
