Anti-Princess Club

Is it too strong to say ‘anti’ princess?

Phew. It’s been a busy month. I’ve done a lot of interviews including national TV and radio spots, I’ve written blog posts for the likes of Mamamia and Kidspot, and been the subject of several reviews. I’ve started compiling the media mentions and appearances here if you’re keen to go through them.

Lego, snow, a pony and spaceship

Libby wrote her Santa letter today. There was no time for small talk. No ‘how’s life in the North Pole treating you?’, ‘did Rudolph like the spinach we left out last year? Sorry we didn’t have any carrots.’ She cut straight to the chase. The list of ‘wants.’
