Blog Post Email Formatting

It appears that when some people received their first email from my Finding My Star blog, the formatting has gone all skewiff (words pushed together). If you have had the same problem on Finding My Star, or or on this blog, please let me know and also what device (iPhone, PC, Mac, etc) you're reading the email on, so I can follow up with Goggle Blogger.


Thank you

Man Boobs and We're Moving!

How do men know when their man boobs have become too big?

When their 2 ½ year old daughter holds her mummy’s bra up against Daddy’s bare chest and says, ‘Boobies!’

When does 5-3=5?

When Boywonder holds up five fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other and says, ‘Five take away three,’ before removing the hand with three fingers and announcing the answer is five.

Finding My Star reveals the journey that my family embarked on when I first fell ill two years ago. From the frustration of misdiagnoses to acceptance and adjustment, it includes the challenges we were forced to face, the changes we made, recipes and the effect it had on my views in life.

It will still incorporate the humorous side of our lives – thankfully, that hasn’t changed!

Borrowing What You Already Own?

As much as kids enjoy experiencing and learning new things when they start going to school, they also get a huge amount of pleasure and comfort from familiarity.

Tomboy loves visiting the school library each week. Her favourite part of the visit is borrowing a new book to bring home for Mr T to read to her and her siblings at bedtime.

She has been especially excited about her book choices the last two weeks.

When I opened her library bag to see what story she’d brought home, I was a little confused. I lifted Rhino Neil by Mini Goss out of the bag and said, ‘We already own this book.’

I thought that maybe Tomboy had forgotten.

‘Yes! That’s why I got it,’ replied Tomboy quite proudly.

She was just as proud when she brought home Who Sank the Boat by Pamela Allen – another book that we already own.

Boywonder did the same thing last year when he started school. It might seem a little silly to borrow a book that one already owns, but that little bit of familiarity between school and home seems to boost their confidence.

Unfortunately, Mr T was a little disappointed when Tomboy didn’t bring home a new story to read at bedtime. Maybe I should send him to the local library to choose a couple of picture books for himself.
