Home Education is a taboo subject. Frowned upon, misunderstood. People envision home educated children to be feral, with no social skills outside their own home and no understanding of the world. But in all honesty that’s a load of rubbish. Home education isn’t for everyone and that’s ok, but it’s definitely for us. We are […]
There are so many lists of child expectations by ages: the age they should be potty trained by, the age they should settle on their own, the age they should know how to write their name, the age they should know their times tables, the age they should be able to read, the age they […]
We are huge fans of Scleich as you’ve probably gathered over the years. Their quality and attention to detail is next to none! So we were very excited when they kindly sent us their Large Horse Stable to test out! My 7yo loves horses and he was ecstatic! My 8yo was eager to get building. […]
Memory making. A major phrase used on social media, and in hashtags. Have you seen it? Of course you have! If you’ve followed my site for any length of time you know I am all about the memory making, most likely OTT some of the time, but I am desperate to ensure my boys have […]
Tiosebon recently sent us some of their footwear and we are SO impressed! They have been so comfortable! These knitted walking shoes are like walking on air! These shoes have been such a good wear. They have been on the beach, to the mall, in the town, in the countryside and at home in the […]
I absolutely love new parents and their naivety. They have all these fabulous plans and ideals for their future life as parents. They bring home their bundle of joy and have all sorts of plans and dreams going through their little post-pregnancy minds. Let me just stop you right there. NONE OF IT WILL HAPPEN! […]
We recently had an exciting invitation to go and watch Monster Jam Live! And my boys couldn’t have been more excited! Monster Jam is one big monster truck competition full of mud, excitement, stunts and noise! (You’ll definitely need some ear defenders for the younger fans!) We got to see some of the monster trucks […]
As you know by now my boys love dinosaur play, whether it’s making fossils or creating their own small world play. The fun is endless with dinosaurs and a vivid imagination! My boys were thrilled to receive a parcel from Schleich a few weeks ago; a Dino Cave Playset! An actual cave! They were super […]
In our house we have a thing for unicorns. When I say ‘we’ I mean my 6yo and I! I have loved unicorns for a very long time, and it appears my 6yo shares that love. We have mugs, pens, notebooks, jewellery, cuddly toys, lights, statues but strangely no figures. Until now! Schleich very kindly […]
Life is busy, add children into the equation and it is crazy busy. Careers, house keeping, families, health issues, errands, chores, appointments, school, courses; there is just SO much going on! As a momma I know there is always something that needs doing, always. There is always a grazed knee that needs kissing, a spillage […]
