For Cat Lovers Everywhere. Just Who Owns Who?

If your truthful answer to at least half of these questions is ‘Yes’, then you are definitely wrapped around their little claw… 1) If your cat takes an instant dislike to someone, do you decide that person is not nice to know? 2) Do you have no room for your own food in the fridge because of all the cans of rejected cat-food? 3) Do you think the way the cat stretches as they sharpen their claws on your furniture is really cute? 4) Do you put your coat on to try to keep warm as you stand with the…

Daily Inspiration: Meet Matt Nuth Today we’d like to introduce you to Matt Nuth. Hi Matt, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory. To say that writing and music were the intentional destination for my life would be a radical overstatement. In fact, I spent an entire career avoiding them; they were things I loved, but I could never imagine that they would become central to defining who I was. Granted, writing and communication was critical to my success in business, and music was something with which I have…

Easter Lore

Easter Lore

Comments 0 Comment

Easter is called a moveable feast because the date changes every year. Easter Sunday can fall on any date from 22 March to 25 April. The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on the lunar calendar (moon) rather than our more well-known solar one. Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the full Moon after the 21st March. In 2024 Good Friday is on 29th March and Easter Sunday on 31st March.             Symbolism has always played an important part in festivals and celebrations, and Easter is no exception to this rule. Before Christianity…

Why do adults read children’s books?    

Why do adults read children’s books?

And yes, they definitely do. In some cases it might be parents or grandparents reading to their children, but certainly not always. I, and many other adults it seems, simply love to read children’s books. There must be a reason. In my case as a children’s writer, part of the reason might be to check out other children’s authors out there, what they write about, how they carry the story through, and how the best sellers make it. That much is true, but my need to read children’s books runs much deeper. So, what compels us to return to the…

The perfect read for St Patrick’s Day! Buy here on Amazon St. Patrick’s Day is officially observed on March 17 each year, which is believed to have been the date St Patrick died in the 5th Century. Strange as it may seem, the man who would become St. Patrick was born in Britain (part of the Roman Empire at the time) as Maewyn Succat in the late 4th century. His family were Christians, but it’s said that Maewyn himself was an atheist until he reached 16 years of age. His life changed at that point when he was kidnapped by…

The Origins of Mother’s Day in the UK

The Origins of Mother’s Day in the UK

Comments 0 Comment

Mother’s Day in the UK has its origins in the 16th century custom of ‘Mothering Sunday’, which fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent. That’s three Sundays before Easter, and the tie-in with the church calendar is why it’s always a bit confusing trying to work out when it is each year. Consequently Mothering Sunday is celebrated early this year. Mothering Sunday falls on different dates in different countries every year. This year, Mother’s Day in the UK was celebrated on the 10th March. As with most of our celebrations, Mother’s Day can be traced back to Greek and Roman…

Why do we have Leap Years?

Why do we have Leap Years?

Comments 0 Comment

The day that usually occurs every four years is called the leap day and is created by adding an extra day to February. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure because the Earth does not orbit the Sun in precisely 365 days. Leap Day, on February 29th, has been a day of traditions, folklore and superstitions ever since Leap Years were first introduced by Julius Caesar over 2000 years ago. To fix his culture’s calendar, the Roman emperor created the Year of Confusion when he decided that the year 46 B.C. was going…
