Our Lillie is no shrinking violet, in a family of boys she has a lot to put up with but she certainly gives as good as she gets.
Well, to be fair it IS Autumn and there isn’t much snow around, plus we haven’t got magical powers. BUT we have got an imagination and that’s all it takes (ok plus a few random materials from around the house) to make a den!! I have to admit that building dens with my children was … Read more
On Sunday Little Bean and I managed to sneak off for a couple of hours by ourselves for some girly time. We believe it’s important to spend some one-on-one time with the children so that they aren’t always treated as a group.

I don’t remember each school year flying by so quickly when I was at school do you? This morning marked the end of Year 1 for Little Bean and I feel quite sad about it really. She has had a really good year at school this year, her teacher has been lovely and has definitely … Read more

During the evening when she had been sick in her bed the Butlins staff were amazing, we asked for a change … Read more
After a late-night watching Cirque du Hilarious, we were delighted that the Beans all decided to have a little lie-in followed by a lazy morning before heading to Coast Restaurant for our breakfast. Coast was vibrantly decorated and much less busy than The Deck or The Yacht Club even though it served exactly the same … Read more
Last Tuesday our day started out really well with a scrummy breakfast at The Yacht Club. Breakfast is always a meal that goes down well with our Beans and it was great to watch them tucking in. Curly took charge of drinks and made sure that everyone had what they wanted. Little Bean was delighted … Read more
