Horrible Histories: Pirates in the Museum!
Horrible Histories know how to make pirates grossly appealing to kids – even at the Museum! Make it honest; Make it gross; Make it fun. Maritime Museum (Sydney) has all of that but only until 27 Apr 2016.
EG Parent Award #65
I am in a fair amount of pain, with a suspected broken wrist (scaphoid fracture). Right now, I have a lot of empathy for any parent who is suffering. Broken bones, gastro bouts, head lice… But nothing beats Children Live Action Shows. They are loud. They are bright. They […]
Sinister Gives Life

Round 4: Death of the Day-Time Nap
