This year my youngest started school, so it has been the first time in nearly 8 years that I have had both of my children in school and a bit of time to myself in the day. Over the past year I have built up quite a good exercise routine in term time, but that always goes on pause when the holidays come around.
I have been so excited about having the children off school for 6 weeks...
We are a bit Encanto mad in our house, so my children were so excited to find this Encanto exercise video on YouTube. It is a perfect way to burn off some energy indoors, whilst also getting to have fun and use their brains as well to remember all the moves.
This video is called ‘Spring Encanto Run’ and it’s part of a brain break set of videos for kids...
We are in full birthday party season in our house, with our little girl lucky enough to be invited to some of her school friends birthday parties.
Choosing gifts for other children that you don’t really know can be tricky, I find it really difficult choosing a gift that is a reasonable price, which the child can actually use instead of just giving a plastic toy for the sake of giving...
Well everyone, today I got the award for being the World’s worst mum!
My youngest had her school trip today, off to the woods. I read the letter from school about it last week, so sent her off today with her welly boots, waterproof coat and a packed lunch box. We got to school in plenty of time (well, I mean we weren’t racing through the school gates with minutes to spare before registration...
My little girl is learning all about what colours you need to mix to make different colours at the moment, so I thought I would set up a fun painting activity to help her learn.
This activity for kids is super simple and lots of fun for little ones. I got these lovely flower paint pallets , which are perfect as you can put lots of different colours around the...
Losing a baby at any stage of pregnancy is a horribly traumatic experience. Losing a baby during pregnancy when you are fortunate enough to have living children back at home can be a blessing and a curse. Having been through this myself twice, I often felt like I couldn’t really complain about my loss of Sophie and Charlie as much as a mother who hadn’t been able to bring any of her children...
With Halloween fast approaching I have started planning what tasty treats I would like to try making (and eating) with my children. Below I have put together a list of 8 of my favourite looking recipes for you to try too.
Halloween themed recipes
Gross toasts
These Gross toasts are made by topping bread with tomato puree, cheese and olives. Decorated in a way to...
Our local woods is one of my favourite places to take our dog for a walk, but our children can get a bit bored of walking the same loop over and over again! So, I have tried to be a bit more creative to make our time in the woods fun for everyone! I have put together a list of some of the things my children enjoy doing, that I hope you and your children will enjoy doing too. 8 Fun activities for...
We have recently started having a Family film night on a Friday night, which we all absolutely love! We get home from school and work, make some snacks and snuggle up on the sofa to end off our week.
We have watched quite a few films so far, today I will be sharing my top 3 films for you to watch with your families this weekend....
My daughter really loves her barbie dolls, so I have been trying to find some activities that we can do with them.
After a few goes in the sand tray, our barbies were obviously pretty dirty so we decided to set up a barbie bath station outside, so my children could give them a good wash.
