\"sherry<\/a>kia ora geeky friends. \u00a0Here I am hiding behind the new book The Confident Mothe<\/a>r from Sherry Bevan<\/a> in the UK. \u00a0There’s a chapter in there which was created after our interview together. \u00a0I’m awed by the vision and drive of this gal.<\/p>\n

I’ve made fresh playdough in three colours today … do I get points for drive, tooski?<\/p>\n

Quick flurry of links now, then I’ll continue with my list. \u00a0First day back to school for my big girl today, so little girl and I are kinda making the most, which does NOT include keeping my nose in a screen. \u00a0So swiftly now;<\/p>\n

A piece from the New Zealand news <\/a>about the “farming” nature of some child care centres. \u00a0And I don’t mean they visit farms. \u00a0I mean they are the farms. \u00a0This is a call from one mama blogger<\/a> to abandon the whole ‘goody bag’ thing at kids’ parties.<\/p>\n

I got two gems from Pop Sugar sent to me this week: this one is BEAUTIFUL pictures of REAL post partum mamas and babies<\/a>\u00a0and this is about the new Disney princess<\/a> … the first Polynesian … hope she can give the other princesses a lesson in self reliance.<\/p>\n

From Slate: a cool (albeit cynical) summary of conversations <\/a>between parents and children, and finally, from the Huffington Post, a round up of sleep research<\/a>\u00a0as relates to children. \u00a0Night night.<\/p>\n
