Can you believe we’re already on the third week of the school holidays? They are going very quickly this year, probably because we’re juggling working full time with child-care. It’s a bit crazy but we seem to be managing with a mix of ‘chill’ days for the kids and a variety of activity clubs to…
So the weather forecast is pretty dire today so we’re going to go school shoe shopping. This is probably my least favourite thing to do as a parent as my children’s feet are always growing. School shoes are really expensive but I know it’s important to get good quality shoes that fit properly so I…
This year I’m delighted to be working with Maped Helix, purveyors of the finest school stationery.

I’m not sure how I’m going to cope when both my children are back at school. We have spent a lot of the summer playing, crafting and reviewing some cool new toys. This morning I was taking up my daughter’s trousers (I’m sure I will be letting them down again soon!) so it seems apt…
