It is my pleasure to host a guest post from blogger and freelance writer Maria Rainier. Her tale serves to highlight the fact that you can’t take kids anywhere without something going wrong… As a parent, you learn to accept the good with the bad. You roll up your sleeves and get right in the [...]

I’m Lovin’ It

This is a post for those people who look down their nose at me as I’m tucking into a Big Mac and large fries. The runners, who huff past in the park wearing a Lycra outfit that reveals every revolting crotchal lump and bump. The old women, tutting as they take an age to walk [...]

I apologise in advance for wasting your time. Although, if you do decide to read on, you’ve no-one to blame but yourself.
