Easter At Pensthorpe – 2024! Will we be visiting Pensthorpe Natural Park, one of our favourite places this coming Easter holiday?! Well, of course! Pensthorpe has always been a staple in our school holiday calendar (it’s a staple all year round actually) and this coming break is no exception! Pensthorpe is the perfect mix of wholesome, outdoorsy exercise (needed with four children all fuelled with energy to burn) and fun play both inside and out. You absolutely don’t need children […]

February Half Term 2024! Well, it’s not often I’m glad when a school holiday is over but boy this one can do one! Marred will illness from start to finish it really has to be up there for the worst break we’ve ever had and I frankly feel cheated. On the last day of school I coughed, and I thought that’s odd? I haven’t even got a cough at the moment, then by the next morning I was really starting […]

Prep Your Child For Their Residential Trip! When it comes to school residential trips this can often be the first time a child will be separated from their parents for an extended period. Preparation (not just for the children) is key to getting that first taste of independence so that they can go away and enjoy themselves without missing home too much. The end goal of raising kiddos is always that they are happy, healthy children who grow to be […]
Pensthorpe For February Half Term 2024! We are year round visitors to Pensthorpe taking full advantage of our annual pass which allows us visits even in school holidays! Posie and I regularly trip there during the week to have fun in the daily “messy mornings” held at the indoor play space “Hootz House” (all included in the entry price), followed by fun in the play area, gardens and wonderful playground, but in the school holidays we always like to go […]
Christmas Holidays 2023! Christmas 2023, what a blast! Did it always go to plan? No… Was it always perfect? Again no. But it was ours and we made it pretty magical. Despite a bit of bad behaviour, sickness bugs, tooth aches, antibiotics, a trip to A&E for a trapped hand in a door hinge, a trip to A&E for a poorly ear, and cancelled plans because of all of the above, we loved it! Here’s our best bits including the […]
Dearest Florence – You Are Fourteen! Dearest Florence, You are fourteen! I couldn’t have imagined, fourteen years ago, that this time would go so quickly. I couldn’t have imagined you being a teenager, being so grown up, being my friend as well as my daughter. If felt like you would always be little back then, and though to me you still are, you are also SO grown up. Grandad calls us Edina and Saffy. I think he’s just about right! […]
The End Of Michelmas/Winter Term 2023! It’s ironic that time goes fast when you’re having fun, but that it feels sad to be over so quickly? The end of the Michelmas/Winter Term seems to have found itself upon us faster than ever, okenminutebwe were sun kissed in September and here we are launching into Christmas and the end of 2023 before I’ve really had a chance to think about it. I’m not GOING to think about the fact Posie now […]
