My first thought, as I walked into the entrance of the St James Theatre in Wellington, was, ‘Wow! All these umbrellas are gorgeous, but they wouldn’t last five minutes outdoors in Wellington for real!’. Thankfully, there were no gusts blowing into the concourse of the St James Theatre for the performance of Singin’ in the Rain, showing […]
I was delighted to be asked to review a ground-breaking new iPad app, which has just launched on the App Store in the UK, called WriteReader. It is aimed at 3 to 10 year olds (and I have three children in that age bracket!). My children are absolute technology lovers, which I am okay with […]

Alice had also come down with a thick, vile, mucus producing cold and with babies it’s always worth checking all is okay. They managed to fit […]
UPDATE, 20 October 2010: The winner of the giveaway is…. Leanne from Cottage Tails. Congratulations! The only reading I’ve done in the past six month’s has been young children’s literature with my girls and blogs (the latter mostly by the glow of my iPhone in the middle of the night whilst feeding Alice). When Sarah […]
