I don’t know about you but I’m beginning to feel that I really need to draw on my supermum powers over the holidays. I love spending time with my children whilst they are young, and am so happy to have found a job which fits round their holidays. However, it can be pretty tiring planning days out in London, organising play dates, clearing up after their playing time as well as keeping on top of my blog. Yesterday was another hot day. We’re keeping little lists of all the things we want to do (to make sure we do them!)…

We don’t use them just for holidays though, I usually slip one in my handbag when we go out for dinner, to the pub, or…
