I’m always surprised how both my children are so quick to say they can’t do something. I’m a firm believer in the power of positive thinking, and try to encourage them to try anything and everything which comes their way. It really saddens me when my 5 year old says she can’t read and plays…
I know I say it every week but last week was busy! Somehow we survived Pancake Day and World Book Day, as well as the normal school routine and after school clubs. Thankfully our weekend was pretty quiet so we all had a chance to recharge our batteries. Time for my weekly post about the…
I have two very crafty children who were delighted to receive the new stationery and activity subscription box from Mila & Pheebs. My 5 year old is currently learning all about the farm, and has a school visit planned later this month, so we had a lot of fun exploring the box together. The March Mila…
My 5 year old love her cuddlies. Every morning she comes downstairs with her favourite cuddly and her muslin. As she’s only 5 she has a lot of soft toys, they seem to rotate on a regular basis. We recently received one of the new Lion Guard Talking Plush toys from Just Play Flair. Both…

You all know by now that I’m addicted to the internet. Thanks to my techie husband I’ve been an early adopter of most things, including Twitter, Facebook, blogging and all those things that came and went, hello MySpace. I’m careful what I share on line and it’s really interesting juggling this with my children. They…
