This day I love.......

I spend rather a lot of time in my car for work and in the past 3 months I have driven over 15,000 miles.  It is no surprise then that I also spend a lot of time listening to my local radio station.

Recently my local radio station, Hallam FM, launched Mission Christmas.  They want to make sure that all children and young people aged 0 - 18 in the local area have a present to open on Christmas day.  As a Mum my highlight of Christmas is watching my girls faces as the magic unfolds around them.  I cannot imagine what it must be like to not have anything to open on Christmas, even one small present.

Last year I bought a couple of extra presents, clothes and toys and this year I have done the same.  There are hundreds of drop of points, as well as the radio station itself.   So without wanting to sound cheesy, would you be able to help too?  Please help me spread the word by sharing this post, in anyway you can.  If you can buy just one extra gift, then please do, there are lots of drop off points available.  Alternatively you can donate a 'virtual gift' and the team at Hallam FM will buy a gift for you.  

Mission Christmas

Thank you in advance.

I hardly slept at all last night.  My youngest is once again unsettled at night and I had a lot on my mind.  

I had done an interview for our local radio station, Hallam FM, on the importance of outdoor play for children.  I loved the experience and it was a real privilege to be asked.  I was simply nervous on my voice appearing on radio.  What would the clip sound like that they would use? What if I said something controversial? What if I came across like an idiot?  I guess just normal thoughts.

I had nothing to worry about, although it was rather strange hearing yourself on the radio.  It was also strange, as I am a regular listener to Hallam FM having the news readers, who you become familiar with, mention your name.  I would love to do it again.

My eldest daughter had a similar stars in the eyes moment when she came home from nursery.  She saw cake.  She saw a Victoria ring cake.  The icing and cherry on top prompted her to sing 5 current buns.  She wanted cake but she knew that she had to eat her dinner first.  Cake is a treat and a special treat.  

After dinner the girls really did enjoy their cake

This day I love stars in the eyes.
