Jessica on her first day of school

I can’t quite believe that we’re almost at the end of Jessica’s reception year. It really doesn’t seem possible that three terms have passed by since the start of school. In that time, we’ve both grown so much. In this last year, I’ve watched Jessica learn and grow and become more confident. I’ve got to… Read More

From the mouths of babes #126 – A visit from the tooth fairy

03/07/201702/07/2017
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!     We had our first visit from… Read More

We’ve enjoyed taking part in #30DaysWild for the first time this year. Having plenty of outdoor time is something I’ve always tried to encourage. #30DaysWild has helped give more of a focus to our outdoor activities. It’s not always been easy. Trying to make time for a wild-focused activity has been challenging at times –… Read More
