Happy Birthday Miffy!

In our house, we love Miffy! I can remember reading Miffy books when I was little and I'm happy my children also enjoy Miffy!

Next month I'll be hosting a joint birthday party for my little people - but between their birthdays, its also Miffy's Birthday! Miffy will be 58 on the 21st June 2013! I knew Miffy had been going for a long time but I hadn't realised this loveable little bunny was going to be 58!

I do love Dick Bruna's use of minimalistic lines and bright primary colours which make his artwork of Miffy easy to identify and appealing to both girls and boys (I have a girl, 1 and a Boy, 3)

To celebrate Miffy's birthday, we have received a Miffy tabard from MiffyShop.co.uk to review.
The tabard is £5.99 and is PVC coated so it's easy to wipe down after cooking/painting/craft time.

In true Dick Bruna style, it's a unisex tabard - both my children loved it. It's reversible with a choice of Red or Blue background and either Miffy playing with a ball or skipping rope.

The Tabard has elasticated sides and is recommended for children aged 3-4, Blake aged nearly 4 loved it and it was a good length for him, but it also didn't look out of place on Meg who's almost 2! It's excellent quality and the print is lovely and vibrant.

Happy Birthday, Miffy!

You can follow Miffy on twitter @miffy_uk or www.facebook.com/Miffyuk

*For the purpose of this review, we were sent a Miffy Tabard.

The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes Review and Competition.

I was lucky to be sent a review copy of The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes, the winner of the 2011 Arthur. C. Clarke award.

I love a good thriller and this really didn't disappoint! I was gripped! It's got an element of time travel (which satisfies my inner geek) and the novel is in seemingly random order so I found myself flicking back to check dates on the first couple of chapters but soon got into the rhythm of the story!

There's a lot of violence in this story (as expected, given its theme!) as it follows a serial killer's journey through time, the killer, Harper, gets great pleasure in visiting his victims as children or teenagers and again to kill them as adults, and sometimes returning to the scenes of their violent murders for sexual gratification ... so he really is one crazy man!

Kirby and her dog are loveable and I loved how the story twists from her being the hunted victim who survived her attack to the hunter searching for clues to lead her straight to the killer himself.

The main focus is on Kirby and the Killer - kirby is feisty and full of courage and determination, she's inspirational and has a great "sidekick" in Dan.

I liked how the element of time travel was represented via a room in a house and that Harper (the killer) explored Chicago in different eras, often using money or a local cafe as a way to determine when he is and represent how the time had changed.

The book delves into the lives of each victim so they all get a turn to literally "shine" in the story. There are things about them all which are great - they are all normal people who are full of potential and "shine" everyone can relate to the characters easily and you will see some if yourself in them. I particularly liked glow girl and the forward thinking member of Jane (a safe abortion service before it was legalised)

You can tell a lot of care and attention went into the research and writing of this novel and you can see how easily it could be adapted for a film.

Overall - would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely! It's so far, my fave grown up novel of the year!

Published by Harper Collins, Available now on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007464568/

Trailer: http://youtu.be/gzsJ4kI0s8Y

Press Release
"A serial killer who should be undetectable – until he picks on the wrong victim. In 1992 wild child Kirby Mazrachi, a clever, punkish misfit who miraculously survives his vicious attack, vows to track him down. But as his very existence is impossible – how can she ever find him?"
From the winner of the 2011 Arthur. C. Clarke award comes a masterpiece of thriller writing, quite unlike anything else in tone and conception. It is 1931 and Harper, a violent down-and-out is living a hand-to-mouth existence in the shanty town of Hooverville, Chicago. After a murder, he’s hounded out of Hooverville by a vigilante group and find refuge in a mysterious house. To the outside world, this looks like an uninhabitable wreck, but inside it is something quite different. Like the wardrobe in C S Lewis or The Tardis in Dr. Who? It gives him access to different times and also offers him a vision – of his ‘shining girls’, women across time who are to become his murder victims. He visits them as children, then as teenagers, then as adults, when he will kill them and leave anachronistic clues on their bodies.

Two damaged outsiders. Two impossible people locked in a bloody dance, a dance which will end in death. For one or the other..."

Special K how Ive changed linky challenge - 30 years of me!

For the first time since 1983, Kellogg's is changing Special K (www.myspecialk.co.uk) which now is made from 3 whole grains.

I was sent a box of the new Special K to try - it was just as delicious as the old formula and even the kids enjoyed it! I love that it now has more whole-grains. I like the new Special K and will buy it for my family.

As I'm taking part in the BritMums / Special K "how I've changed challenge" I need to let you know how I've changed in 30 years!

Lets go back to 1983 shall we? This is actually a special year for me, aged 3 as one of my two little sisters was born! (** update: I'd like to apologise to my sister Kellie who rightly pointed out she was actually born in 1982! whoops! My memory from 1983 isn't what it used to be!) I went from being an only child to having a sibling! 1983 is also a key year for me as it was when I started Ballet classes and dance of some sort would feature on and off in my life right up to now! I've danced at Ludus, pineapple, dance works, central school of ballet and in a sports dance troupe which included dancing in the snow on the pitch at west ham!

For me, 1983 would have also meant preschool! (Check out the plate I made!) I grew up in Lancaster which meant I also met my bestest friend for the next 13 years at preschool who I'm still in touch with (hello Kelly Tea!)

Emma Clement nee Preston 1980's with Kellie Preston

The rest of the 80's saw another little sister - I got to pick her middle name (and no, it's not Gertrude - it was after a friend who had moved away) the 80's was all about dancing to Madonna and other cheesy 80's, having fun at Moorside primary school, with the exception of a little bit of bullying because I had glasses and missing teeth! (Two baby teeth fell out at the front and there wasn't any big teeth so I still have that gap! ... And glasses! - I'd get the gap fixed but it'll cost £25k!) my Dad taught me how to throw a punch! The 80's were also heavily focused on my little pony, Lego, Sindy and the start of my love for Star Wars, science and geekiness!

The early 90's was a bit rocky - My Dad had his first heart attack at only 34 (which scares the life out of me, given I'll be 34 on my next birthday!) we had chicken soup for Christmas dinner that year after visiting my Dad in Wythenshaw! He's still going strong!
It's also not long after that when I went Veggie, discovered I had kidney disease and lost one of my grandads.

The mid 90's was all about trying out new looks - my hair had been an assortment of colours including blonde, blue-black, stripes in the front, jet black and red. I was goth, I was grunge, I was geek! I was good at school work and fab at science but I really hated school, I made poor choices with friends and suffered more bullying which sucks! I think back and wonder if I'd have enjoyed school if I'd been more sensible about my friends!

Late 90's was all about visiting my friend in Newcastle and discovering night clubs (hello Carina!) , going to collage, experiencing my first loss of a friend ( prayer for Steven Watson) and having a career choice crisis! I was about to start a nursing degree when I realised I wanted to be a film publicist! (I ended up being an online marketing manager and loving marketing!)

The noughties started off with an adventure to London (where I've remained!) and the almost impossible task of putting myself through uni! Paying
your own way means that you don't get to party as much as everyone else because you also work and it means you graduate with a terrifying amount of debt - I was almost forced to quit so many times!

While at uni I got a part time job in Selfridges - where I met my Richie - my wonderful gorgeous hubby! I got to go to New York (yey!) where we got engaged. We saw the start of a plethora of cute nieces and 2007 was the year we married! Honeymooned in the Maldives which is just amazing and 2009 gave us our little boy - Blake who is the most amazing little boy followed in 2011 with beautiful Maegan - who's her Daddy's princess!

blake preston clement and maegan darcie clement 2011

Let's finish with 2013 -this year we hope to move house, it might be the year i finally learn to drive (probably not!), we have two new nieces/nephews due and is the year that brought me this challenge! Phew! How's that for 30 years hey?

Hope you've enjoyed! What's happened to you in 30 years?

Today is my 6th Twitter Anniversary!

My first tweet was on the 2nd May 2007 and I requested my tweet archive to see what my first tweets were - You can do this by logging in and going to settings - request archive from a computer (Wont work from the app or mobile browser)
I couldn't help but giggle at my first tweets - especially the one to Charlotte (My colleague at the time)
