Carnival time when bloggers from all over the blogosphere send me a link to their favourite post that they’d like to put forward for you to read. I have read them all and classed them under different sections some funny, some serious, some brilliant entertaining ideas for your children and some wonderful parenting tales that everyone can relate to.

Oh no i forgot to get my post to you, last week was a bit crazy… Some good reads on here…
Hello,
I’m really sorry to have missed the deadline. I’d love to be included if you’d have me and you have the time to add me. I’ve entered a post about children and the importance of boundaries and illustrate this with my experience of being a children’s entertainer. I hope it fits.
