Sundays are all about spending time together as a family. One of our favourite places to visit is Burghley House and I’m sure you can see why. We had a lovely (if not slightly chilly) family walk there today.
Before the Summer holidays began, my friend Karin and I sat down and booked dates in to get together. We have learnt from past holidays that if we don’t do this we can go all Summer with our free dates not coinciding and then the children end up disappointed that they haven’t seen each other. … Read more

The boys then had a sleep whilst Little Bean and I had fun with Aquabeads and Go Create Cool Bandz (reviews to follow). In the afternoon we met … Read more

The Big Fairy Picnic is a fundraising event for the charity Anna’s Hope. Anna’s Hope was inspired by Anna Hughes who died from … Read more
The day began with a spot of story time with Nanna, you know if you let them the tiddlers would happily sit there and let you read stories to them all day. I have been to Burghley House for picnics countless times and for whatever reason, I don’t think I have ever managed it on … Read more
