John of Dadbloguk shares his observations on the debate of who makes the better parent – from a dad’s perspective.  It makes for great reading.

A must-read for parents everywhere from Kiran at Mummy Says. Just in case you needed a reality check… and watch out for the snail reference! 😉

~

Who hasn’t got an abundance of conkers surrounding a tree near them?…

Caroline at Becoming a SAHM compiled the fantastic conker activities… I especially the conker run 😉

~

And Catherine at FromLittleThings has put together a great run-down of activities to do with conkers.

Watching the news is akin to watching the cybermen on Doctor Who behind a cushion, which is why PottyMouthedMum doesn’t watch the news… @pottymouthedmum

~

Emma at Life at the Little Wood on the love of our little ones loving books 🙂 Very appropriate as our little bear only recently declared that she’s a big girl and doesn’t need picture books…

To be honest, I don’t usually ‘do’ style blogs or read them.  They tend to just go over my head but let’s be honest; as a busy mum, it’s important to feel good about yourself.  Here’s how to do just that, thanks to Kelly at To Become Mum…

~

And what do you think of post pics on facebook?  Are you a ‘deleter’ like Miss Fanny P?

I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did.

Would YOU add any ‘things to do before you have kids’ to this list from Tarana at Sand in my Toes?

I’ve just discovered this blog from Lisa at Amateur Nester and have so much admiration for her on her IVF journey.

First, such a beautiful, simple and utterly scrumptious post from Secret Father.

Next, in light of our recent comment from our little bear, “Mummy, is the tooth fairy a pig?”, this had me in little piggy stitches!  Here is Emma from Farmers Wife and Mummy on why the pink pig compliments modern living and why mummy pig may be a blogger…

(I also blogged a letter to the tooth fairy this week.)

…and this post from Wicked World of Lucas also had in tooth fairy-related stitches!

The Pumping Mama Tessa wishes her ‘sometimes’ break away from mental ill health moments could be ‘all the time’ moments…

I love that Rosie at Eco Gites is helping to encourage her son’s thinking about money (and spending it) by dissolving marketing ploys of retailers.

Finally this week, a fantastic ‘Ode to CBeebies’ from Liquoriceuk.

 

There  you have it then – I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did.
