The Magic Schoolbus – When Netflix Reads My Mind

When you love Netflix, you really love Netflix.  It might happen gradually, it might happen overnight but it will happen and when it does it’s easy to appreciate the amazing learning potential that exists in the combination of a medium that’s often relegated to the ‘mindless entertainment’ category, with the tangible, precious experience of books and the modern luxury of the …

Remote negotiations – The Battle of the Box

Like many Mum’s I can often catch myself discussing the very different natures of my two boys.  Polar opposites, chalk and cheese………..you name it I’ve said it.  Their uniqueness translates across every moment of our day from Nixon’s need for control over what he’s wearing, to Ethan’s general compliance and respect for authority.  Everything one boy is, the other isn’t.

Best on TV – Yellowstone

Like The Blue Planet and The Frozen Planet, BBC’s series Yellowstone is absolutely stunning. TV One have certainly secured some great programming this season, I must be getting old! Isn’t this guy just the most beautiful bird ever?  I couldn’t help but google him after I watched his cameo on Yellowstone this week.  Meet the Calliope Hummingbird; Image by Terry …
