Pic Of The Week 38 – Yummy Curry
| September 28, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
I’ve never been a curry fan. I’ve only ever once eaten food at an Indian restaurant. I just don’t like it. The same can be said for spicy things. I love Thai food, but not if it’s spicy. Black pepper is as hot as I go. Then I fell pregnant with Ameli and when I… more
Hello Mellow Organic Massage Oil Review And Competition
| September 26, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Better For Babes, Competitions, Reviews |
I absolutely loved doing baby massage with Ameli as a newborn. I felt that it benefitted her, it gave us something special to do together, rather than me just staring at her in awe, and it gave me a lot of confidence in handling her: Â I became a lot less frightened of her fragility and… more
Autumn in England

There are many things about life and living in the UK that it seems, even after eight years, that I will just never get on board with. There are things that make me realise painfully, that this is not home. (Home isn’t home any more either, but at least it’s familiar.) But there is something… more
Pic Of The Week 37 – Moments
| September 21, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
I’ve called this collage of pictures ‘Moments’ because that’s what each of them  represents to me: the moments where my family see, love and treasure Ameli. Those ‘last’ moments. The ‘goodbye’ moments. Bittersweet, but beautiful. more

********Competition now closed. Winner  below ************* I have a quicky competition for you, in addition to the regular weekly competition. While I’m a huge lover of mum owned businesses, pick your own fruit and vegetables, or organic food deliveries, and think it’s essential and preferable to support small and independent businesses, when we do a… more
Acquadoodle Tray Table Cover Review And Competition
| September 20, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews, Travel Tips |
So… summer is well and truly gone. The leaves are falling and I spend my days sweeping up bits of grass and other dead stuff from the conservatory.  The neighbour’s sweary kids are back at school, thank heavens, and we’ve unpacked our suitcases from our holidays. But, summer being gone doesn’t mean the… more
Pic Of The Week – Week 36
| September 14, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Pic Of The Week, Projects |
This was one of those weeks where really, I need a gallery to show you all the lovely pictures. Instead, however, I’ve picked four out of the bunch to give you a taste. more
Welcome to the September Carnival of Natural Parenting: Parenting Through Play This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared how challenging discipline situations can be met with play. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants. ***  I have a toddler, a few weeks from two years old. She is, I think, very bright. She can recognise the numbers from 0 – 9, and her favourite form of outdoor entertainment is reading the licence plates on each car we walk past. She has amazing recollection and a phenomenal vocabulary, and can hold a full conversation. I don’t know too many other kidlets her age for comparison, so I think she’s pretty smart. I’ve never sat down to teach her numbers either, and while she has some ‘educational’ toys, we’ve never played them according to their rules, or followed their instructions. We just let her play with them without trying to teach her. I must admit too, that I am not very good at ‘play‘. In fact, it’s something that’s bothered me since her birth – I’m just not good at immersing myself in an imaginary world, something I hope will change as my child(ren) grow/s.
