Homeschooling week 4. It was still the Easter holidays for us however due to a very long week 3 without much planning. We all decided that we would have a schedule for this week. It works so much better for all of us. This week I have asked the girls to write a letter to…
Spin Master have sent my girls a couple of their products to keep my girls entertained. The Nail it and Kumi Kreator arrived lat week much to my girls delight. We have always been huge fans of Spin Master and have reviewed and purchased lots of their toys in the past. As a Mum of…
