    Woohoo, the Easter holidays have begun and not a moment too soon. The Beans and I have been ready for this holiday as it has felt like a particularly tough term. We have a mixture of days out and chill days planned for the Easter holidays so hopefully, we can start the next term afresh […]

    March 13, 2016 By: Sabina Green 0 Comments

    Whoopsie I’m getting behind with this project already. Perhaps I needed it to run from a different day each week as Sunday seems to the day that I struggle to open my laptop, I’m sooooo busy relaxing after a busy weekend. After our busy day at Drayton Manor and Thomas Land on Saturday we enjoyed a […]

    The power of words – Always be unstoppable #LikeAGirl

    July 21, 2015 By: Sabina Green 1 Comments

    As a blogger, I know only too well the power of words. Words can reach right into a person’s soul, they can lift that soul up and make it feel empowered, make it feel unstoppable, make it feel proud of who it is and what it can do. Words also have the power to squash […]

    I know, I’m a bit late with this post. To be honest, I’m not sure where the week has gone, it’s been a blur of tissues, hot lemon and snuggles on the sofa. The whole family has been full of colds and coughs, it has just flown by. Remembrance Day 2013 Tonight I was looking […]

I think this little face sums up how we are all fe I think this little face sums up how we are all feeling today. I have woken with a blinding headache today.
.
Simon is working from home and in charge of homeschooling but it isn't going well since the children do not seem to be very focused.
.
Even working in the office away from it all isn't far enough to not be distracted so I am not sure that anyone is achieving anything of substance.
.
This afternoon I am popping out to say farewell and pay my respect to one of my Mum's best friends who passed away just before New Year. It's a tough one as I would like to be there to support my Mum who I know is finding it hard but due to Rona numbers are limited so she has to go alone (I am simply going to stand outside the family home to wave her off ♥ 🕊).
.
How is your day going today?

My 'baby' is definitely not a baby anymore. Next w My 'baby' is definitely not a baby anymore. Next weekend he turns 8 and he really does feel like he is growing up fast.
.
Because of his health problems growing up it has felt like he has been a younger for longer or perhaps its just because he is the youngest?!
.
Last week we were finally able to stop the medication he has been on since he was 18 months old, it felt like a huge milestone for us and he jumped for joy when he was told too. Fingers crossed we can now put that stressful part of our lives behind us at last.
.
This morning he had a wellbeing zoom session with his class. He made me laugh when he marched into my bedroom dressed in his tshirt and denim jacket with the collar turned up. He said "I thought I would make an effort for my zoom so I have dressed 'cool' ♥"
.
I'm not sure I am ready for all my babies to grow up yet!! 😭

#ad-gifted . It's been a STEM learning kind of aft #ad-gifted
.
It's been a STEM learning kind of afternoon. Don't worry, we haven't been mean parents making the children homeschool on the weekend.
.
The boys were sent the telescope from @byokits so they spent the afternoon with Dad building it and loved it.
.
They had fun looking through it during daylight but were most excited to try it to see the moon tonight... so of course it's cloudy tonight and they couldn't see a thing.
.
Nevermind, we will try again every night at bedtime until we get to see it ❤️
.
They had so much fun building the telescope with Dad. The kit comes pre-cut in thick and thin card so it is lightweight and eco-friendly. It has two lenses and a mirror offering 16x magnification. I will tell you moee about it on the blog very soon. 
.
At the opposite end of the kitchen Lillie was busy making slime, she has had mixed results with her slime in the past but today it was complete success which meant Lillie was very happy indeed.
.
How was your Sunday?

More walking by the river today, there is so much More walking by the river today, there is so much water the levels were high which meant the locks were flowing fast and loud!!
.
The boys were worried the swans were going to get swept down at the locks but they just smugly glided up and then swam away like it was nothing. Don't you just wish sometimes you could hold your head high like a swan does? 😂
.
Albie was very excited to see one of his teachers out walking today, he was keen to tell her to "go and see the River it's SO cool" 🤣🤣
.
Not much else to report on today, its been a quiet day of rest and relaxation all round. The Beans have all been busy doing art so the house has felt very peaceful indeed 🙏
.
Happy Saturday everyone ♥

Lillie - this is the little beauty who made me a M Lillie - this is the little beauty who made me a Mummy way back in 2008.  It's hard to believe that she turns 13 this year, I'm not sure I'm ready for a teenage daughter!! 
.
Today on the blog I have turned back the clock and am talking about about the essentials you need to consider when you have or are expecting a newborn. Despite the nearly 13 years I still remember it all like it was yesterday and love nothing better than to scroll through the thousands of photos we have taken over the years.
.
I have friends who are expecting babies at the moment (I also have a gorgeous new nephew who I am still yet to meet thanks to Covid) and I would be lying if I said that it doesn't still make me broody.  I love newborn cuddles and the toddler years but if I am honest, I love all the years because they all bring something new.
.
If you're expecting or know someone who is then pop over and check the post out, it might just give you a pearl of wisdom that you hadn't already considered.

A snow day for my Beans!! . The last few times we A snow day for my Beans!!
.
The last few times we have had snow the children have all been at school and the snow has disappeared before they got a chance to play.
.
Today the snow came just as they were finishing their homeschooling so now they are outside making the most it and having a blast.
.
I had to pop out to get my flu jab and couldn't resist a quick photo walk whilst I was out of the house.
.
This beautiful thatched cottage had its roof replaced before Christmas and looked so pretty today in the snow. If you look carefully you might just be able to make out the 🦊 (obviously not a real one) on the roof ♥
.
It really looks like it has been sprinkled with icing sugar doesn't it?
.
Only one more day until the weekend and that will mean we are two weeks down with homeschooling. We can do this 🤗
