We look forward to February 14th, the day of love. There are so many ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with children as well as a couple. I often hear how commercialised Valentines Day is and how it is another way for companies to make money. Whilst yes I agree, but for us it is something…
Childcare is always a big issue when you are a parent. It is something you don’t even think about too much until you have to return to work after maternity leave. Then childcare becomes an even bigger problem when you children start school which of course finishes at 3pm. Which is why I jumped at…
All three of my children have loved Peppa Pig at some point. There hasn’t been a Christmas when a Peppa Pig toy hasn’t been on someone’s list. This year of course it is Alfie’s list. Now he is in preschool I try to buy fun interactive learning toys. I am huge advocate of learning through…
Collaboration post It’s crucial for children to have a varied education in which they learn from different environments, not just a classroom. During the summer months in particular, it’s a good idea to get out and about and encourage your child to learn about the great outdoors. Here are some outdoor learning activites for your child…
Homeschooling week 12 – maybe? I haven’t wrote a homeschooling post in a few weeks. I am struggling with time. As usual my blogging takes a hit when this happens (which is so frustrating).

We are very much an outdoors family whatever the weather. I knew once lockdown and the school closures were announced, my 3 year old was going to struggle the most….
Homeschooling week 8, the week we lost our way a little. Very little school work was done in week 8. Following the Prime Ministers speech on Sunday 10th I felt really low waking up on the Monday morning. I am missing my family so much. Generally I am quite positive and can put a smile…
Our homeschooling week 7 was mostly about celebrating VE Day. It is funny because we have never celebrated it before and I am not sure if it is because we are on lockdown and need something to celebrate or because it is the 75 year anniversary. Either way we have had lots of fun. We spent…
Homeschooling week 6. Another week of teaching, entertaining and making the most of our time together. The weather forecast was not as good as it has been, with a little bit of rain due which worried me. However it wasn’t too bad. We still managed to get outdoors quite a it which definitely helps break…
Homeschooling week 5, I actually had to check what week it was as I have completely lost count. As the weeks go on it is definitely harder to find different ways to make learning exciting and different. Homeschooling week 5 was a little easier because we had the hot sunshine. The weather has been…
