About

  • This blog was set up in 2006 as a resource for parents of multiple birth children.

    Then it moved on to include journalism, fiction, media requests and advice under the 'Write away' category as well as the odd bit of nonsense about my family and eating too much cake. Then it sort of stopped. But I still pop up here now and again when the fancy takes me.

    Thanks for reading.

Project Seahorse update: Please vote for inspirational video! (Today's the last day...)

Project%20seahorse%20logo%202YOU may remember that some months ago, I featured a video on You've Got Your Hands Full which was a tribute to a precious little girl called Emily, a quadruplet who died when she was just days old.

I remember thinking at the time that being able to spread the word about the work that her family have gone on to do through their Project Seahorse organisation, despite their own grief, to help other families, underlined my belief in blogging.

Now Emily's dad Phil Roberts, from Lexington in Kentucky, has been in touch to tell me about another video and this time, ask for my help in getting people to vote for it in a TV channel's competition.

As the prize is a trip to Walt Disney World, I'm delighted to help. Please join me in voting for the Roberts' 'Made of the Good Stuff' video and getting it aired on the TLC Channel.

Phil says: "Our video is related to how tiny our babies were, and how well they're doing now, and what they do to give back to the preemie community."

He also says that the competition is close and that every vote counts. The bad news is that the competition closes today at a minute to midnight, US time.

Please click here to go to the page where the contest is and please help show this remarkable family some support. After raving so much about time we had at Walt Disney World, I would *love* to be able to help this remarkable family on their way there too. Theirs is the cute and very touching video on the left.

Thanks Erica, as Phil got in touch while we were away, I have only seen the message this afternoon. I hope every little helps.

They are at 47% of vote, so that seems good

Jane, I think my email fouled up and the message was delayed. Just great.

Linda and Other HandsFullers,

Thank you so much--found out late last night that we did win!!! We don't know by how much, but we agree that every little bit helped, and now we'll need your list of "Disney Advice"!!! Thank you so very much.
