Upon the Demise of Blogsy and Blogger

It's been a long, looooong, time since I've had the urge to blog.

And today, with that urge returning I find that my favourite, most bestest blogging app ever is long gone. No longer available, no longer supported.

Goodbye Blogsy. Loved you long time.

Take a look at the promo for this very slick app with so many uses and then scroll down for a bunch of freebies that Vanaia are kindly offering (be quick though, there's only a limited supply).

Great iPad activities for 5 year Olds and Flu Days.

It's only the third day back at school after two blissful weeks of school holidays and already we are all pooped and counting the days until the term ends :-(

I miss the lazy mornings, the cuddles throughout the day, the random pieces of art we created and going out in the brisk winter sun to explore and run and climb.

Even though we were all hit by a particularly nasty bug we still found plenty of cheap and easy-going ways to have fun inside on flu days. When it got particularly bad we'd all snuggle up under a blanket and play together on the iPad.

So my 5 year old, 4 year old and I have picked out our top iPad activities to share with you. Most of these apps are for you to use together with maybe one or two that might keep them entertained by themselves for a wee bit while you whip up your favourite flu-busting food for them!
