REPORTS:

Trust Disney - Reporting by Coco Fierce
"On a recent trip to the cinema with my son, it really made me think about the paths we take in life. In many children’s films, we are taught that good always triumphs over evil and that if you try hard enough all of your dreams can come true. But we all know that this doesn’t mirror reality."

Rockabilly Rants: Embarrassing Parents - by Coco Fierce
"Kids are great. Everyday seems to bring a new and exciting development. Whether it is baby teeth falling out, the moment they read their first words or them memorising the moves to Gangnam Style, being a parent is full of weird and wonderful experiences. Well last week I had a bit of a first as a Mum. My five year old son told me how embarrassing I was."
