Aspiring green mummy, living in London, England. I have a son and a daughter, who keep us entertained / busy / challenged (delete as appropriate). It's important for our family to 'do our bit' and live as sustainably as we can. We believe it matters for the future of the planet - often it also helps us save money - and it can be fun!

'Parlour Games for Modern Families' - Fun without TV?
Just in time, found a book for an xmas present. My husband will be under the impression it's for him, but really it's to unleash my own inner child....
First I must come clean. I am not the biggest fan of family board games. The husband's family love them, and this has only highlighted quite how much I detest the likes of Monopoly (or Monotony as I call it).
But I can see the benefits of games generally - especially for developing kids' skills - fair play, basic literacy and maths, etc. And more importantly, having fun without TV or computer games, but with people instead! How retro.
So an article about 'Parlour Games for Modern Families' in The Guardian last week might end up making a bit of an impact on my family's down time. I have been persuaded to give games another go. Take a look yourself.
