A few weekends ago we met up with some friends at Mottisfont House and Gardens in Hampshire. Entry was free with our National Trust membership cards and we had a great day out exploring the house and gardens. The weather wasn’t great (ok, it rained on and off all day) but it didn’t stop us…
Both my children adore YouTube so it’s probably no surprise that they are fans of Hasbro’s YouTube series Hanazuki: Full of Treasures. This is a colourful cartoon from Hasbo which is a great way for children to learn about their emotional intelligence.

A few weeks ago we went to a screening of the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kids film. It’s a great family film and really encouraged my 7 year old to start reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney This is the book…
