With the clocks about to go back, we’ve been trying to get in some after school adventures while we still can.

Watching toddlers learning to walk is such a beautiful thing. Those first little wobbly independent steps, the way they land on their little bottoms and repeatedly get back up again for another go and then getting used to wearing shoes and taking their first walk outside.

Picking and eating fruit straight from a tree or bush is such a simple pleasure, and one of the magic things about summer and autumn.

Thomas’s first trip to the beach

Trips to the beach are a rare treat for us as we live so far inland. My sister lives much nearer to the beach though. A summer stay at her house is a good opportunity for a day out at West Wittering. The last time we went was two years ago with all four of… Read More

Our mind map with various summer holiday activities written out on it

At the start of each of the last two summers with Jessica, we sat down and made a list of some of the activities we wanted to do. A mixture of big days out or adventures and smaller activities. It was a fun way to plan our summer holidays and the girls and I loved… Read More

Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that make for the most fun. I thought it would be fun to set up an animal safari hunt in the garden for Sophie one afternoon while she was at school.
