The Single Mother Project: Marriage Story
It has been almost two years since I last posted a single mother project film analysis* here. What can I say? Single mothers are flaky, unreliable and very, very busy. *Yes, analysis is perhaps an overstatement. But I watched a film last night that moved me to the extent of […]

News: Bugaboo launches Niark1 Collaboration
If, like me, you’re a sucker for a pretty gadget, the chances are you’re already familiar with Bugaboo. Not only do their pushchairs glide around and make for super-easy navigation (whatever your terrain), they look good too.

Review: Ascot Racecourse Family Day
On 2 April, we popped down to Ascot’s Family Day – Jack’s first day at the races (and mine, also). He adores animals, and we often take long country walks in search of the occasional lone horse or sheep, so the prospect of seeing multiple horses running around… I knew […]
