As I'm sure regular readers will know, my children have beautiful ginger hair (or at least I think it's beautiful).I love their hair colour and until yesterday they'd never experienced anything other than positive comments about their hair colour but last night when I took them shopping a little boy pointed at us and said 'Look at that ginger family Dad' and laughed.

The reason for my pride this evening are these few surprise discoveries (please bear in mind that I am a stationary-aholic myself): 8 pencil cases filled with all sorts of lovely pens, pencils and other stationery - I had no idea she had so many! A special drawer dedicated to notebooks - 26 in total. A pencil case filled with buttons that she's found when we're out and about. And then there's … [Read more...]
