Today my children's school shuts for the summer holidays. Dennis the Cat and I are bracing ourselves for the influx of small people with a bottomless appetite for crisps and repeats of Tracy Beaker on CBBC.

So how are the mummy bloggers of our acquaintance handling the hols? Are they putting the time to good use, with wholesome activities and quality family time?

First, we bow down and worship Single Parent Dad, with his awesomely organised holiday plans. Perhaps he could help Tattie Weasle, who is somewhat discombobulated. Or even Hot Cross Mum who is having trouble channelling her inner Rolf Harris.

Northside Mum finds her holiday disturbed by overly loud parenting. Those are the type of people who think being a helicopter parent is a good thing.

In a bun dance wonders how teachers feel about all those gifts she isn't showering them with. Ask Gibbogirlie's Blogs, who lets us into the secret of what teachers really get up to in the holidays.

And this week on ParentDish - did you see that cute baby in the watermelon? Where can I get a watermelon to fit into, it looks like so much fun. And it's an activity and lunch combined, a fine example of multi-tasking. Time Management Mum would be so proud.
