My daughter was really lucky to receive a few new Sylvanian Families for her birthday this week. She really wanted the Sylvanian Families Kangaroo Family and the Forest Nursery – both of which she was excited to open. She’s asked for Beechwood Hall for Christmas but it just looks so large – I’m sure we haven’t…
Earlier this summer I went to the Hobbycraft Press Show where I picked up so much inspiration for my Christmas crafting. I was given a wonderful felting kit which I thought I would offer to my readers – I know you all love to craft as much as I do! This Polar Bear Felting Kit is the…
I write a lot about books because I am passionate about reading and encouraging my children to read. I took a little video of my 5 year old yesterday. We were reading her school book and I was blown away with how much progress she has made so far in Year 1. Both my children…
My children have had scooters since they could toddle. Although they both have bikes they prefer to scoot everywhere.

Today Little Sis turned 6! It’s hard to believe she is 6, its such a cliche but it really does feel as though she was born yesterday. We had her birthday party a few weekends ago so the house has been full of birthday cards, balloons, a birthday banner and presents. I was super organised…
A few weekends ago my daughter had a party for her 6th birthday (which is actually today!). We bought the cake, a rather spectacular PJ Masks one, but wanted some special cupcakes to share with friends who were coming back for a playdate after the party.
