Each week I oversee hundreds of children as they learn to swim. As the years have passed I have learned to see more than just a young swimmer. I see the quiet child, who struggles in the busy pool. The exuberant child, who bounds out with the biggest smile. The child who likes their own … More Are we witnessing the murder of young minds through education?
I think I am part of the very first group of parents to rear children in the era of computer and online technology. We had no rule books, no prior knowledge to tap into. This modern world of technology and social media, was very different to the world I knew as a child. In our … More We can’t ignore technology when we have children.

Perhaps it would be more truthful to say, that to most of us you will always be … More Happy Birthday Dan.
I have three girls. One is eleven, still very much a child, yet beginning to grow up. One is sixteen, a teenager in every way. One is twenty two, an adult to all but her parents. Often I wonder what will life bring them? Three beautiful girls growing up in a modern world. Will they … More What I hope my daughters know.
“Until death us do part” I well remember saying this twenty three years ago. As I placed a wedding ring on my husbands finger, I said those words with feeling. Looking at him that day, I had no doubt that nothing or no one would come between us. We were for keeps. I loved him … More What is love?

Last night was officially the end of Christmas in our house. Yes, you may say we were flogging a dead horse but it is just tradition with us. Each year at the end of January we go to see the panto. All six of us. The pantomime is not a tradition I was reared with, … More How I stay young at heart.
I am a mother. I have four children who I love to hug and to hold. I am their mentor, guide, friend and constant. For over twenty years I’ve been there for them. Yet I am still a child. My mother is thankfully a strong presence in my life. She is my mentor, guide, friend … More Do we ever grow up?
Are you someone who lives with regret? Maybe it’s an old regret, perhaps about your childhood, or schooling, loves lost, or chances wasted? I have regrets aplenty. But if I were honest and could go back, would I do things differently? The past brought me to where I am today. Am I happy with that? … More No regrets.
Shhh, don’t tell anyone but I’m finding time to blog. I’m not sure how long it will be before some member of my family appears, and shatters my piece, but here’s hoping it lasts. I had promised that my next post would feature some of my own personal favourite posts I wrote last year. Well … More All kinds of everything. My favourite posts of 2013.
