We love it! The Zinc Volt XT 1 Electric Scooter Review
Scooters – we love ’em, right? But buying them can be a l-e-e-tle bit tricksy. Because your toddler wants something steady and sturdy and non-wobbly (and preferably a little bit shiny) for zooming in the park on. But your older kid wants a wicked looking scooter that does scary stuff that makes their Mum squeak while she’s trying to ignore them at the park. They’ll chatter excitedly about how they’ve mastered the Hops and...
Perfect Autumn Essentials – Pretty Jeans & Comfy Boots from Next
Autumn is probably my favourite time of year to dress for – and my daughter appears to have inherited my enthusiasm. After months of a lacklustre approach to grabbing the nearest t-shirt and shorts, she’s suddenly re-organising her jumpers and insisting that she has ‘nothing to wear’. Well, to be fair, she’s probably grown at least 6″ since last November, and none of her leftover winter wardrobe...

WIN 1 of 5 signed copies of Dragons Green – PLUS an advanced copy of The Chosen Ones!
Have you come across the rather wonderful Dragon’s Green yet? I’ll admit it – I put off reading it for ages (to be honest, I simply had ‘better’ things in my to-read pile than another children’s fantasy). Silly silly me. I read it last week in two long sittings – and I flipping LOVE this book! Firstly, never underestimate the appeal of a book with a glow-in-the-dark cover (I know!) – we...
Lunch with my girl #littleoneswholunch
One of the best things about Home Educating is that the whole ‘Back To School’ furore rather passes us by. Our summer takes much longer to fade and we’re really only just starting to get into the swing of an Autumnal house. But whilst we don’t do school lunches anymore, we do still do lunch (obviously… we don’t starve them…), and one of the loveliest things about home ed is actually the time...
