While as far as I know, she isn’t one of my long lost relations, Becky May has got a cute collection of “Pretty Not Plastic” shoppers hasn’t she? Though it seems to me that our media driven nation has been all too…
With alarming regularity, laundry day rolls around as surely as Christmas. No sooner have I put the last load of ironing away, do I find myself stuffing exactly the same items back into the machine. It isn’t right: I want my beautifully…
I woke up this morning with a desperate appetite for warm ginger spice cake and a long cool glass of skimmed milk. In another lifetime I would have been there with my pink apron tied over my nightie frantically whipping myself a…
Confession: it is one o’clock in the afternoon and I am writing this in bed, propped up by an abundance of mustard cushions, eating ginger cake and drinking yogi tea, while shivering my bum off because cold has settled into my…
Last night in a moment of madness, you decide to get into bed extra-ordinarily early to watch a film. This is such a bad idea on so many counts you don’t know where to start, but you carry the iPad up the…
I had a little cry this morning. I opened my eyes and thought- maybe I can’t face today. Maybe I will just stay here. You know one of those days? And before I knew it I was sobbing on to Mark’s shoulder,…

thanks for the "scrumptious award of the week"…just sitting here smiling about that! And, I have to say, my little pattern girl with the red shoes looks great on your blog…she fits right in.
Dunno. My first protective instinct is to be offended due to the write-up on Amazon, the fact they are poking fun at Sarah, and the blatant stealing of her trademark cover style and all?? Used copies on Amazon are 3 cents, and I'm beginning to think they may pay us to buy the thing in a bit. I don't think I'll pay postage to see anybody make fun of my Sarah.
Sure, add it to the list of things to be offended about, right below lax preschool teachers, field trips, overenthusiastic watiters, and gropers. Jeez people, lighten up – the book is *meant* to be funny. Get a sense of humor.
I agree with you, Amber, but would urge you review your own comments on the last few articles. While Nancy seems to be the main offender lately, none of us should be directing rude comments toward other readers, either. You're by no means the only one, but your comment here recalled the "field trip" comment as well. Let's all be ladylike and express our thoughts without crudity.

I feel the same way Gayla does about this – Sarah has helped me find my true self so much that I feel a bit mama bearish about this.

Oh dear. Well, I reckon Sarah would choose to take it with a smile. It's healthy to laugh at ourselves from time to time! x x x
What is the matter with this Nancy person? If she's so annoyed with all things opinionated why does she peruse blogs? Weird.
