When you're pregnant, you buy WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING. When you have a baby, you buy BABY LOVE. But what book do you buy when your young child is at school, has ideas of their own and can't be separated from their television, iPad or computer screen?
From the high-profile, popular journalist/commentator, Angela Mollard, this is a wholly delightful, funny and charming book for all parents who worry that their kids’ childhood has gone MIA and needs to be retrieved, but they don’t know how to go about it.
It’s about giving modern kids a real childhood and putting some fun back into parenting and childhood, even if you're a full time working parent. It’s about getting back to simple things, yes, but embracing technology and modern life as well.
With personal memoir woven through chapters on camping, craft, pets, gardening, cooking, reading/ book-themed adventures, music, technology, parties, discipline, rainy days, festive occasions, entertaining other families and creating memories, THE SMALLEST THINGS offers all parents ideas, inspiration and hope, even for people who would rather stick a poker in their eye than do craft.
The Smallest Things
This is a great read for busy mums,trying to balance life with kids, their challenges and triumphs, career, relationships, marriage....all while trying to provide healthy meals and memorable life experiences for your kids and finding the ideal job that fits in with the family. Angela Mollard is hilarious in her recounts of her life experiences...the good, the bad, the ugly. You will have a good laugh at the very least.
