days out
Lots of family fun
We’re having a super busy week. On Monday we had a fun family day out at Legoland. Both children loved it and the amazing weather we’re finally enjoying in London definitely helped. On Tuesday we visited the toddlers’ new school and I attended my first parent’s meeting! For the last couple of days we’ve been…
Preschoolers and the London Aquarium

London’s sandy beach

Now he’s back to inspire kids to feel good about doing healthy things in a…
Easter in pictures
We’ve been fortunate that our couple of days away coincided with blue skies and sunshine. At long last we were able to spend time outside and all feel much better for it. In the run up to Easter we did lots of Easter crafting. We made and decorated bunny biscuits, boiled eggs and tried out…
