FREE Big Hero 6 DVD with TopCashback

If you don’t already have plans to buy the Big Hero 6 DVD, then I have one question for you. WHY NOT? This movie is fabulous – it’s warm, kind, funny, smart, exciting and articulate, with beautiful graphics and a cast that’s just too perfect. I wasn’t a fan of Wreck-It Ralph, so the fact this film was from the same stable held no joy for me – in fact, I was more inclined to not see it. But...

10 Things Killed By Technology (that I sort of miss…)

I love technology – we owe our entire lifestyle to modern technology, and we’re grateful for it every single day. The internet allows us the amazing flexibility of working from home – and I would never ever have considered home educating four children without the world wide web at my (and their) fingertips. Not just for their unbelievably busy gaming social lives, but for the knowledge that is right there for the...

Book Sunday – The Childrens Picture Atlas

As a child I LOVED a big atlas. It was a frequent rainy afternoon thing for me – haul the enormous atlas off the bookshelf (I’m not sure anyone else ever looked at it, to be honest), and spread out on the floor with it.
