My World in Motion

I’ve just finished reading Jo Whiley’s autobiography My World in Motion. I’ve been thoroughly spoilt this year with the books I’ve read - A Thousand Splendid Suns and Snowflower and the Secret Fan, a couple of the best books I’ve ever read. My World in Motion didn’t come up to that standard but it was a pleasant read nevertheless.

The autobiography is split into sections which include her familial roles and her work. The book is pretty straight forward, she’s a good mother, has a solid marriage and is committed to and passionate about her work, if you’re expecting some gossip then you might as well skip over this one, as for me I don’t really go in for ‘celeb goss’ so it didn’t bother me. When I read an autobiography I’m usually looking for a bit more, someone that has experienced something (or preferably several) remarkable things, experiences that I can relate to or learn something from. I guess the remarkable thing about Jo is her job, so if you’re interested in music you’ll probably get a lot more out of it than I did. She details her playlist for her life in each of the sections, which I skipped over, but if you’re a music buff you’ll like it, I loved the fact that she names Elton John’s ‘Tiny Dancer’ as her “family anthem” as that song holds special meaning for me, it’s my Erin song and I listened to it constantly when I was pregnant.

I enjoyed reading about Glastonbury and the Live Lounge, it was very interesting to get an insider’s viewpoint, we have the Live Lounge albums and it seems to be one of her main work related passions, along with her Mencap charity gigs and Glastonbury.

One thing I did notice which became increasingly annoying was the repetitive nature of the book, there were several times when I felt I’d already read the same thing earlier in the book perhaps just worded slightly differently.

Overall though it’s a reasonable read and Jo seems to be a really nice person.

On a side note I really like the website they’ve put together to promote the book.

I’m going to be giving a copy of My World in Motion away via my newsletter, you can sign up for free.

He’s Talking More

post from Babylune on 20 July 2009 06:12:00 PM. © Babylune

You know my favorite part about being a mom of a baby is watching them grow, but even more is hearing their tiny voices change through time. I was always trying to figure out how the little minis IMG: The Life of a Home Mom

IMG: The Life of a Home Mom

would sound, if they’d sound more like me or their dad. Once you begin hearing them put words together you can picture them, course that brings the whole personality in. How will they respond to certain things, etc.

My first born is a gentle heart, quiet but loves to learn new things. My second child let her voice be heard since day one and she still does. She’s my social butterfly but ya better not make her mad because she’ll let ya know. My third is a quiet and sensitive soul, she’s patient and kind and will make you feel bad the moment you disappoint her. Little A, I’m not sure yet, he’s still learning his words and it is so neat to watch him pick them up and then try putting them into a sentence.

Some words he likes: nana (his sister’s name), barbar (barney), choochoo (trains), nopuntzbak (no punch back), eye (I love you) keem (ice cream), momo (elmo)

Earlier he came running in and patting me: “Momma, momma, momo,” as he strummed a guitar and turned on his dancing Elmo. He wanted me to know he was playing the guitar with his Elmo. A bit later we got a package that had a Thomas the Tank in it and he ran to me telling me about the “ChooChoo.” I think he thought I had no clue what he was saying so he ran into another room and brought out and armload of Thomas the trains. “ChooChoo, momma” as he dumped them by me and grabbed the movie and put it in my face. I couldn’t help but laugh at his determination, “Yes Trains. You want to watch it?” He’s now watching the movie and playing with his trains. How does your child put words together when they don’t think you understand?</p>

Moya's Organic Baby Clothes Sale!

Actuallly, it's Moya's Organic Baby Couture and if you're looking for an organic gift for the little baby in your life or know of someone about to need some baby couture...look no further. Moya has some lovely designs, very unique and adorable. Many of their designs have separate tanks or fancy embroidered bibs over shirts so that you can take the top piece off if baby gets it messy. What a great idea, stylish and still functional!
As far as environmentally friendly goes, Moya's is as good as you can get. All clothes (even the tags) are made from organic cotton, inks used are non-toxic, paper used is FSC certified, & lastly the packaging is made from recycled paper! I love companies like this. Moya uses premium material & so prices are not cheap, but you are really paying for a 2-3 piece set because of all the layering, so it really is quite a steal. And right now they're having a 30% off sale...so go crazy!
