A blog by a witchy book lover that loves to rant about politics and diet culture
Blog Camp On Board - a lovely blog conference on MSC Cruises Preziosa #BlogCampOnBoard was hosted by Tots100 and was a bloggers day out and mini-conference on board the MSC Preziosa whilst docked in Southampton.

It was a really beautiful venue and I absolutely loved viewing the ship. I love cruises - it's my absolute ... Read more

I can't even begin to tell you how much rage "that's for girls, that's for boys" makes me feel. Pretty angry to be honest, especially when it's said to my daughter. I remember learning about gender stereotypes when I was 14 and it shook me then with so much anger. I was determined that if I ever had children, and at 14 I was pretty adamant I never would, never tell them something was for girls and something was for boys because it is a massive lie.
