They say that you’re as old as you feel. Whoever ‘they’ are. That being the case, I think I’m currently significantly older than my years. For the record, I’m 37. And, as anyone who has watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail knows, that isn’t old. However, thanks to a combination of factors, I feel …

This is an advertorial post. Earlier this week I shared some ‘Snackspiration’ involving The Super Yummies breadsticks. Amelie enjoyed trying savoury flavours so now it’s time to try some sweet ones. The Super Yummies Dairy Pots proved to be an instant hit and its great to see that they are a source of calcium. They …
The first week of the summer holidays is over and things have gone well so far. The inevitable sibling squabbles haven’t been too bad and we’ve managed to keep our promises regarding days out. Yesterday, for example, we had a great time at nearby Pevensey Castle. Here follows a brief history lesson! Pevensey Castle can …
This is an advertorial post. Toddlers can be fussy little things – particularly when it comes to eating. Amelie is no exception. She knows what she likes and will devour certain things mercilessly, but new foods can sometimes be a challenge. I think this is because, like a lot of children her age, she is …
With the school holidays imminent, summer is coming. As a result, I’ve been fretting about a few things. As well as concerns about keeping the kids entertained without breaking the bank, there’s the uncertainty of the group dynamic among them. We live in a small house and there are three of them. They’re all a year older …
With the school summer holidays mere days away, I’m looking forward to a slower pace. First things first, I’m switching off the alarm. No school run means no need to get up as early. I love being my own boss! With this in mind, I’m hoping for a few lie ins and maybe even the odd brunch …
I love a barbecue but it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of cooking the same things every time. Sausages, burgers and chicken are great but variety, as they say, is the spice of life. It’s good, then, to try something new once in a while. Yesterday, for example, we tried …
We spent yesterday doing some much-needed decluttering. It’s amazing the stuff that you accumulate when you have kids! Speaking of which, they helped – if that’s the word. We ended up with five bags for the charity shop, a half-filled recycling bin and a massive box of items to sell. As well as a couple of …
Brace yourselves. The summer holidays are coming. While I look forward to spending more time with the kids, it can be a nightmare when they get bored. Like most parents, we don’t have money to burn so the majority of activities will need to be cheap or, ideally, free. With that in mind, here are …
One of the films I’m hoping to watch this summer is Spider-Man: Homecoming. I’ve enjoyed all the incarnations of everyone’s favourite web-slinger and am looking forward to seeing how the new Spidey compares. Dylan and Xander are big fans too. Indeed, Dylan’s main topic at school this term has been ‘heroes’. As a result, some of his …
