Hi and Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet.

Every night, before the kids go to sleep, they ask me to tell them a story. Not being a big fan of books myself and not wanting to repeat the same books over and over again, I went for a more imaginative approach and started making up my own stories based on what the kids wanted a story about.

My eldest, now 9, was really into 'Everything's Rosie', a program on kids TV, so always wanted stories based around those characters.

My youngest, now 3, is really into trucks, motorbikes, football, etc. So always wants stories based around them.

What I try to do is make up stories that also have a moral ending, an updated version of 'The boy who cried wolf' for example, or one with a valuable lesson, like how to cross the road safely and not like the naughty little duckling in my latest story to them.

In this blog, I will try to remember and document some of the stories from the past and hopefully, come up with some new ones that you may want to share with your own kids. With any luck, it will at least give my kids some good memories if they were to come across this in the future.

Here's to imagination....

Thank you...

Mommy Panda was in the kitchen and didn't hear Squeeze's question.  'WHAT'S FOR TEA?' Squeeze shouted at the top of her voice.  That wasn't like Squeeze at all.  'What's all this noise?' Daddy Panda said as he came down the stairs, 'it's not nice to shout.  If you have a question for someone, you have to go and ask nicely.' 'Sorry, I'm just r...
