The summer holidays are in full swing and I’ve been chasing my tail ever since. Anyone else with me? A time management course and an extra pair of hands would not go a miss as we race from playdates to activities. Its non-stop. Last week, I had a disaster with meal times. On one evening, …
I love women doing it for themselves. So this week I am shining the spot light on the talented Kate Bodell, the author and illustrator of children's book Bumbelinda. We find out abit more about Kate, her inspirations for her truly wonderful book as well as who she would invite to her ultimate dinner party. There is so much to say about Kate so I’ll let you enjoy her fabulous interview.
Bumbelinda is not your typical airy fairy type, she lives at the bottom of the garden in a smelly grotto, filled with creepy crawlies and nasty smells. She’s not keen on pink and her wand is a fly swat. She has “wonky wings” and a “tu-tu that’s gone poo poo”. Her job is to grant meanie wishes.
IKOS OLIVIA As the seat belt light is switched off, the kids eagerly unbuckle their belts. Finn darts towards the aisle, while Olivia takes refuge under her seat. All is calm. I take a minute to gaze out of the window. The sparkle of the Aegean Sea flickers beautifully as we climb higher and higher …
I love that @katewinslet_ will stand her daughter in the mirror and say 'We're so lucky we're curvy' to promote body confidence. I have no mantra, but do I need one? Does a mantra reinforce a message or highlight an issue?
Alton Towers have recently launched a new live show within ‘Big Fun Show Time’ called 'Bings Picnic'. Bings Picnic allows the audience a chance to share their lunch with the loveable Bing and Flop. After lunch the characters play lots of fun games with the audience. The show was really interactive and great for that post lunch lull.
Yesterday the kids & I baked. We made 12 eggless cakes, which meant licking the bowl at the end was allowed. I was a little worried that they wouldn’t taste as good but they infact tasted better.

Listen to customers feedback its fundamentally the most important thing for us, and keeping on top of the trends. If your not providing what the customers want, ultimately you don’t have a business. You have to be prepared to evolve with the times too, particularly with social media as it’s one of the best ways of keeping your business current and marketing it successfully.

The terrible twos is filled with tears, tantrums and now tiaras. Yes, Olivia has turned from the good girl on the block to Nikki Grahame (Big Birthday circa 2006). I can hear my Mum in my conscious saying “well who does this remind you of”. I’m pretty sure she means Niki Grahame, as I was angel.
