My Daughter loves painting and, whilst I enjoy a good messy painting session when we have the time, sometimes I need an activity which is a bit less messy and much quicker to tidy away.
My go to addition to my painting activity during this time is always cling film! Sounds strange I know, but trust me, it’s great for everyone!
Children’s homework is always a hot topic of conversation for parents. Whilst schools see it as a way to boost learning and ensure children are on track with goals, a lot of parents find it hugely time consuming and a cause of great stress at home. But could all that be about to change? The rise in AI (Artificial intelligence) Technology is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up, let alone...
Lots of parents I know are currently feeling a bit nervous about the upcoming Teacher strikes. Mostly because many of us won’t actually know if our children will be going into school until the morning of the actual day, due to teachers not being obliged to tell their school if they plan to strike beforehand.
Many parents will be faced with having to work from home, rely on grandparents or...
If you are a parent of teenagers, I’m sure you have come across the name Andrew Tate. More recently he has been in the News after being arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, but before that he amassed a huge social media following, where he became very popular with teens.
Before being banned by TikTok, Instagram, Youtube and Facebook, Tate showed his followers images of his...

How to make a Mother's Day Card using paint dabbing
If you are looking for an easy, mess free painting activity to make a Mother's Day card this year, we have just the one for you!
1. We just used some plain A4 paper for our card, but proper card would probably last a bit better. We folded this in half so we could open it up like a regular card.
Valentines day is fast approaching and we have been looking at some fun painting activities we can do to make some Valentine cards.
I was looking for a painting activity that wasn't too messy and stumbled across this dabbing activity, where you could use a stencil and dab the paint around the stencil to create a beautiful picture.

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...
