Well there’s no worse thing than a blank blog, so I’ll just swallow my desire to wait until I have fabulous words and amazing ideas, and write a plain “welcome” to anyone reading this, and plunge on….<\/p>\n

Thank you James Buchanan for upgrading the site. It looks good and hopefully will only get better as I write words and other people join in.<\/p>\n

I’m at a bit of a crossroads about where to take the site. Loads of sites have better tips than me on being a mum, and ditto with the where-to-go-in-London thing. So I’m thinking of some prayers and devotionals and other nourishing things for mums and dads who want to bring up their children in God’s paths. I don’t want it to be puritan, I’d like to be able to have some laughs about it. I might need to get Richo to help there. Also, I’ve been collecting some amazing stories about people of faith over the years, which I thought I might share.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’m really into the idea of doing some podcasting about faith and parenting. If you’d like to be part of that, please let me know, whereever you are.<\/p>\n

I’d love some feedback on this direction, so please send in any ideas or questions you reckon we can tackle.<\/p>\n

God bless you and yours<\/p>\n
