    Win two picture books for kids from Trigger Publishing

    With children hopefully going back to school next week I’m sure there are lots of anxiety and nerves (from both parents and children!). I know that from speaking to my own children they both have mixed feelings about returning to school after so long. I’m sure it is the right time to go back to school for them and I’m hoping that the last few months will be forgotten as soon as they step through the school gates next week. I have two picture books to giveaway from Trigger Publishing which will help encourage conversation and promote wellness which is…

    Walking & Countryside Contemplations books {giveaway}

    One thing I’ve loved over the last few months has been the chance to explore where we live. We live on the edge of London which is the best of both worlds – a fast train into London and countryside at the end of our road. We’ve loved exploring our local area and have walked through ancient woodlands, discovered country parks and old country estates during the lockdown period. I’ve loved the slower pace of life. Contemplation Series from Trigger Publishing I was recently gifted two books from the Contemplation Series from Trigger Publishing. These pocket sized books are beautifully packaged…
