We celebrated the first day of our Easter holidays yesterday with a trip to our local park. It’s a wonderful open space with formal gardens, a play area and tennis courts. My children were looking longingly at the tennis courts as it’s been months since they last played tennis (when we went on our mini-cruise…
It’s been a busy few weeks with my son’s birthday. We like to celebrate for a full 7 days in our house which means his birthday cards and decorations only came down this weekend. He had a lovely birthday, was totally spoilt with the presents he received and had a bunch of his friends round…
I’m not quite sure how my son discovered emoji’s but he has fully embraced it. Maybe it’s a boy thing, maybe it’s because he just turned 7. But it seemed like a great theme for his birthday. He first discovered them through playing on my iPhone, surprisingly they were only in the last few years…

This weekend my son turns 7 which shocks me a little. It feels like he was just born yesterday. When I went on maternity leave 12 years ago I fully planned to go back to work. I didn’t love my job but it was interesting and paid well. After my son was born I applied…
On Friday the live action version of Beauty And The Beast will be released at the cinema. My daughter and I loved the live action version of Cinderella so we can’t wait to go and see this together, we’ve even re-watched the old animated version a few times! We’re pretty big fans of Disney films…
