It is well and truly Autumn here in the UK. It’s my favourite time of year and I love watching the leaves on the trees change colour. I’ve lost count of the number of ‘treasures’ my daughter keeps presenting me with every time we leave the house. She’s as drawn to conkers and acorns as…
My youngest just loves horses. She went on her first horse ride last year with Beavers and absolutely loved it. Sadly we can’t squeeze horse riding lessons into our busy schedules of after school clubs and activities at the moment. However she was pretty delighted to be asked to draw her dream horse. She just…
My 7 year old is currently obsessed by all things Pokemon. I think it started when we went and watched Detective Pikachu at the cinema and she has been spending her money on Pokemon Trading Cards and poke balls ever since!

I know the Summer holidays have only just begun but us mums just can’t rest for a moment. Yes, the uniform is bought, we have new water bottles and lunch bags and fully stocked pencil cases, we’re all ready for September! My children both love school and are excited about starting the new school year…
Our summer holidays may only just have started but already I feel like we’ve packed in some amazing adventures! We’ve had some great days out but it’s also been lovely to spend time at home. The children have been re-discovering all their toys and keep coming up with things they want to make. To be…
