Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been a busy bee! A lot of things have happened since my last post: The girls participated in their first dance recital and I was a parent volunteer. (An amazing time was had by all.) My daughter received a Headmaster's Award and school ended for the year for both girls. I went to London for a Christmas in July press event hosted by UKMums.tv and got to try out all the latest toys for this season. I attended VTech's UK Product Launch of the Innotab, tablet for kids. We visited our family for a week and spent some great time with grandparents and great-grandparents. I got bit by the Re-purposing Bug!

As you might imagine, other parts of my life have taken a back seat and this weekend, I was feeling a bit worse for wear. OK, I'll confess, I was totally feeling sorry for myself. This weekend was one of the biggest blogging conferences in London and lots of wonderful new friends that I've made were tweeting all about it as it was happening. To say that I wanted to be there with them would be no small understatement. I started having the blogging equivalent of a 2-yr-old-tantrum. I started telling myself all sorts of crazy things, ...

Have you ever heard of Earth Hour? From its inception as a single-city initiative -- Sydney, Australia - in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into a global symbol of hope and movement for change. Earth Hour 2010 created history as the world's largest ever voluntary action with people, businesses and governments in 128 countries across every continent coming together to celebrate an unambiguous commitment to the one thing that unites us all -- the planet. ~from the Official Earth Hour YouTube channel Earth Hour at Our House This year, we very nearly 'forgot' all about Earth Hour. We had just got home from a children's birthday party which ended at 7.30 pm. That was late enough, but then, on our way out of the venue, Princess Three took a headlong tumble and ended up with a ... [Click Here to Continue Reading]
