Summer Trinity Term 2025 – Part 2! The end of another academic year is more bitter sweet than ever because once we go back to school I don’t have any pre-schoolers at home with me. It feels ridiculously rapid that time marched us here and Posie is no longer a baby but going to be a tiny little school girl. It has broken my heart and made it happier than ever all in one fell swoop. I want them to […]

May Half Term 2025! I love the holidays, live for them really because I just can’t stand missing the children so much while they’re at school. I know that sounds nuts but this is me, I can’t be anyone else and after May half term this year I feel totally short changed. I had some teeth out just before, four of them in fact in readiness for Invisalign sorting out the gaps (one tooth had to come out due to […]

Summer Trinity Term 2025 – Part 1! This half term feels like it must be the quickest one in the whole year but I’ll probably say that next term end too. We came into it from Easter with some sunshine, we headed straight into Gram’s birthday, followed by Jimmy’s a week later and mixed in with sports and tournaments, dance shows, lessons, rehearsals, excellent parent’s evenings, play groups and fun with friends, we have arrived ready for a week of […]

Money Can’t Buy Happiness But… Money can’t buy happiness; we know that! It can’t buy you into, or out of, anything that would give you real happiness at any rate: Love, emotion, sadness, grief, stability of the mind, aggressions, addictions… It can’t pay for the existence, or removal of those things, and therefore, the statement is true. “Money can’t buy happiness.” But… It can buy you an ease of life which, in turn, can absolutely give a bit of happiness!

Dearest Jimmy – You Are Thirteen! Dearest Jimmy, You are thirteen – a teenager, wow! I am bowled over that 13 year’s have slipped by and you’re now a big strapping lad who plays rugby and cricket and absolutely throws his all in to every sporting endeavour always. Watching you on the rugby pitch, literally giving it your all despite being smaller than most of the other players, fills me with both pride and worry. It’s been a year since […]

Cricket/Grasshopper Costume – Home Made! It’s coming up to Raffie’s “mini beast day” at school. So, in half term, he, Posie and I created a Cricket costume for him to wear. The brief is basically “come as a bug” and seeing as all my children have an insect for a middle name, we had to go with Raffie’s for Raffie Rocco Cricket! We took an old Hello Fresh box and laid it out flay before drawing on the shape of […]
