Hop to it: How to Celebrate World Frog Day (20 March)
Hoppy World Frog Day! Time to bring back my “Make/Play/Watch/Read” to celebrate all things froggy. Hop to it!
Do Your Spawnlings Wear Sunglasses?
I recently did a review on some sunglasses over on GeekMom. To be completely honest, I was really wary about sunglasses purchased online. Now I’m convinced with quality of lens and frames, and my enhanced ability to avoid shopping centres (the 12th level of Hell).
Tasty Experiments: Lava Candy
It doesn’t matter what the Universe throws at us, I know at least one of our spawnlings loves me–the one who made me Lava Candy!!
Forensic Friday: Our Dinosaur Project
It seems ‘world creating’ has become a thing in the EG Lair. It all started with Sinister building his own terrarium for a school project last term (which he scored 93%… Such a good little evil genius…) – 3 months later and it is still going strong, without any further […]

Forensic Fridays: The Spawnlings Are Taking Over
I know, I know. Forensic Fridays took a weeeeeee holiday of late. However, they are starting up again. And mostly because of Sinister (now 9yo). We have returned to school (in fact, we are Week 3, I think), and already the EG-spawnling has received a rather hefty assignment (more on his […]
Forensic Friday – Density Matters
Great opportunity for a lesson in density. Not only will the spawnlings understand a basic scientific concept, but it will help them understanding other minions in the world – like politicians.
