Disney World - a toddler’s paradise or a British parent’s nightmare?

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

In two months, we are scheduled to fly to the States for a couple of weeks to stay with my in-laws in New Jersey. For five days of that time, we will be in Disney World, continuing my in-laws’ tradition of taking their grandchildren (and their grandchildren’s harried parents) to Disney World during winter [...]

What ever made me think I could drive in this country - Part II

A squash and a squeeze

Sunday, November 4, 2007

A Squash and a Squeeze is a beautiful children’s story that is a real favorite with my girls, and unlike many of the other books I read to them, where I am wondering guiltily if they will really notice if I skip a page or five, this is a book I have no problem reading… again [...]
