Today I wanted to share a video with you. I don’t know about you but sometimes I wonder if shops and brands ever think about their customers experience, especially customers with young children. I dread visiting my local bank as my children have a tendency to go crazy. They love to play with the button…

Surviving school #HelloNatWest
My son has survived his first term of Big School. He seems to be enjoying it. The other day we were talking about hobbies and he told me his was learning, which made my heart melt. He loves School and frequently gets his Sound book out to tell me which letters he has learned that…
Surviving the school run
Today is the last day of this half term and I couldn’t be happier. My 4 year old loves Reception and I support him with everything from getting to school on time, completing his homework to providing cakes for the Halloween party and much more. Being a full-time mum of a school aged child really…
Inspiring learners to write
You all know that my 4 year old started Reception this September. He has settled in really well and adjusted to his new routine, he no longer flops on the sofa when he gets home but runs around like a mad thing until bedtime. He is very keen to share all his new knowledge with…

Little Adventures at the Natural History Museum
Like most of the UK we have been experiencing our fair share of bad weather lately. The forecast for the weekend was atrocious so instead of staying in with two bored children we decided to head out to visit the Natural History Museum. We were lucky and managed to park 2 minutes from the front…
Our perfect day at Center Parcs
We didn’t have a proper holiday last year as all our money went on moving house. So this year my challenge is to be lucky and win a short stay at Center Parcs by winning the Center Parcs and Tots 100 January challenge. Nothing like a little positive thinking, right? I like to think we are…
Win with P&G this Father’s Day
I’ve mentioned the Everyday Effect before, basically the everyday things that us mums do for our family which make all the difference. P&G have made it their mission to make products which help towards making everyday life that little bit better. With Father’s Day round the corner, P&G want to help the Dad in your…
