Family, the people we are connected to by blood or those we choose for ourselves. They are all important and priceless.
Today was the last day of Little Bean’s Playscheme – she has had a blast at Playscheme. She made some great new friends, made soooo many craft items that I just don’t know what to do with them all and that’s not including the ones she has already gifted to other family members. For their … Read more
I can’t believe we are into the third week of the summer holidays already, it’s been a mixed bag so far. On the whole the tiddlers haven’t been too bad. I have had one or two days each week where I feel like the biggest failure ever to exist in parenthood but the rest of … Read more
When I think of a ‘road trip’ my mind springs to the American movies where groups of teenagers pile into a car and travel to the Hamptons or head off on Route 66. But a road trip doesn’t have to be that glamorous, a road trip doesn’t have to be one of beauty (although there … Read more
Yesterday afternoon I received a text out of the blue from my old friend and colleague J who I *shamefully* haven’t seen in over a year. J sat in on my first interview for my first full time job when I moved to Peterborough and I worked with her for nearly two years. We struck … Read more

At the moment our mornings are quite relaxing, I don’t have to get Little Bean to playscheme until 9.30am so I’m actually getting there on time BEFORE the school gates open. Now why can’t school start at 9.30am too, I work so much better for having that little extra time in the morning!! Perhaps I … Read more
It was a weekend of jobs for us, for once we had no plans to go anywhere so we took the opportunity of spare time and good weather to get out in the garden, have a sort out in the garage and open up all the windows and doors at home to give the house … Read more
Little Bean went to Playscheme and today’s theme was transport. She insisted that the car was for Beanie Boy to keep in his bedroom, the picture was for Hubby to take to work and the Rocket “I haven’t decided who can have that one yet!”. Back at home the tiddlers had lots of fun with … Read more
