Even the holiday home in Southwold being very definitely grubby and not safe for children couldn’t ruin the holiday because we were in all the […]
Back To School Doesn’t Have To Break The Bank?! In the last couple of decades, I imagine since social media took a massive leap into our lives, “back to school” has meant spending mega money making sure everything is “just so” for that first day of term.

Summer Holidays 2023 – Week 5! Week 5?! Where did the weeks go?! In a way I’ve been willing this week to come so that we could start enjoying our holiday away that wasn’t in a tent, but now we are half way through it! We began the week doing some slow living. The littles and I went to Roarr, Jonny did some work and helped in my Mum’s garden as did the big kids, we bought school shoes (and […]

Teaching your child to empathise with others Empathy can often be described as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person, and is an important factor when it comes to building healthy relationships and strong communities. In a world that truly survives on the feelings of connection and understanding, nurturing empathy in youngsters has never been so important. As a parent, you are presented with the role of shaping the emotional intelligence of your young one, and […]
The importance of community involvement for children As children grow and develop, the things that they are exposed to through various experiences, has a great influence on their character, values, and sense of responsibility. Along with incorporating extracurricular activities, private tuition, and the simple teachings of particular moral values, one of the most impactful experiences that you can provide your child with, is community involvement.

A parent’s guide to A levels As the summer holidays come to an end, students are preparing to return back to their usual academic routine of studies and extracurricular activities. However, for some students, this routine may look a little different as they begin the transition into further education. The majority of the time, students will take on A levels, a time where they will need as much support possible from those around them. This is because A levels come with many challenges that are […]
Summer Holidays 2023 – Week 4! The weeks are just rolling on by as if it’s not totally obscene that we are over half way through the holidays and they are perfectly valid in going so fast. I’m fuming! Ha ha. I love nothing more than all my children being at home with me and the thought that there are only two weeks left is making me a little anxious. Realistically, were this the Christmas break we’d still have it […]
Fré Skincare – Glow Me! I’ve always been more of a fan of tinted moisturiser than any other make-up to cover the whole face. I don’t like a foundation, it’s too heavy and I definitely don’t like powder, especially now that I’m a bit older with 40’s skin with the powder tendency to sit in the wrinkles – that is NOT the one! I have, however, found it increasingly difficult to find a tinted moisturiser that I like in recent […]
