Jessica and Sophie dressed as elves "making" wooden toys

One of the things I love most about watching my girls together is seeing how they disappear into their own little make-believe world together.

We always enjoy a day out at Chiltern Open Air Museum. It’s such a nice place just to go for a walk and the historic buildings are always interesting too. I love the fact that the girls can get outdoors and explore while learning little things along the way. They can find out more about… Read More

The PAW Patrol Sea Patroller

I’m not usually one for mentioning the “C” word in early October, but Christmas isn’t all that far away and will be here before we know it. My Christmas planning usually starts in November though.
