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 ended on a pretty rubbish note. Little Bean and Beanie Boy were showing some rather testing behaviour whilst we were at Nanny and Grandad’s house. I came home feeling stressed out and miserable, my tiddlers paid no attention to me at all when I was telling them to stop bouncing on the furniture, stop … Read more
This morning Beanie Boy realised just how much Jelly Bean is growing and got a taste of things to come as Jelly Bean kept grabbing his t-shirt, hair, face or just about anything he could get his hands on when Beanie Boy was trying to lay with him on his activity mat. Watch out Beanie … Read more

We have had a somewhat quieter, more relaxed day today. Little Bean attended Playscheme this morning along with some of her classmates, I really want to keep up her contact with school friends through the holiday and hopefully to help cement some of friendships further. Playscheme is great, I drop her off at 9.30am and … Read more
I have had mixed emotions as the summer holidays have drawn closer, on the one hand I’ve been looking forward to having all the children at home, to think of all the adventures we can have together and the memories we can make. But on the other hand, they can be quite a handful when … Read more
