It’s OK to Argue in Front of Your Kids

23 Sep

  Don’t argue in front of your children, it’ll scar them for life. Strong words that seem to be consistently used. But I’m on the other side of the fence. I consider myself a realist. Is it really that wrong to argue in front of the children?

An Unprepared Mum

27 Aug

The unprepared mum… from nursery to big school ? You look so small in your school uniform. My growing up baby just 4 years ago born. And I’m not sure you’re ready for what is in store as you step out of nursery and through a new door.

Expectations On Long Car Journeys With Kids…

8 Aug

Here’s to another day of homeschooling, we’ve got this 🙌👩‍🏫🍯
🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little b 🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little bit of nice news to share with you...

Feeling a bit me’h today so I’ve cheered myself up by booking a spring date for our wedding...it’s only taken 8 children, around 30 years and a church to get around to doing it 😁

And as it’s going to be a lockdown affair we’ve chosen the spring given the abundance of flowers in the churchyard that we’ll get to enjoy our day surrounded by 🌸🌼🌸🥰
Restoration realities... 🧡 Windowsil grubs, the Restoration realities...

🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own ru 🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own rustic cake stand! The 8 year old made a plan before using tools to cut some wood slices, drill some holes and screw together his design.
He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

It was really easy to do and highly effective, he was very proud of himself 🥰👏
