Three months till the end of the year, blimey! More importantly this month is Brexit month aka Halloween – fitting isn’t it!

Sam loves fizzy drinks and he used to be addicted to diet coke, but has cut that out in favour of tonic water and sparkling fruit-flavoured water. But with each bottle bought it means another bottle to be recycled . An alternative option is for him to carbonate his own drinks with a Soda Stream! Now I remember a friends…
Canada has been high up on our ‘to visit’ list for a while – but it’s definitely the sort of place we’d want to spend more than a week travelling around so that we can make the most of it! Sam wants to go for the amazing snowboarding and I want to go for the lakes and hiking in the…
Sam and the kids went to the theatre this weekend to see The Pirate Cruncher at The Connaught in Worthing. It’s a ‘rollicking adventure told through thrilling action, daft nonsense, stirring shanties, and the weirdest of mechanical contraptions’.

The beginning of the new school year always rolls round so quickly after a summer of great weather and beach holidays.

Collaborative post. I am off to New York for my birthday in January – and it seems like ages away but I’m sure it will be upon us before we know it!

The Summer holidays are well and truly behind us and we’re a couple of weeks into a new school year – one where BOTH my kids are at school! Arlo started reception and now merrily heads into his classroom without looking back – I wasn’t convinced it would be this easy as on the first day there was some trepidation…
Hello! It’s me, writer and neglector of this blog. What can I say, the summer holidays have consumed all my time! Here’s what I’ve been reading, watching, wearing etc in August! Read The four books above are the fiction books I read this month. The Rabbit Girls is the stand out favourite – it’s about a woman who is looking…
The end of the Summer holidays are in sight – hurrah! One more week at home and then a week in Norfolk with family and we’re done! I mean, I would say that I’m not wishing them away but I sort of am… It’s just been a huge juggle this year due to various factors and I think the kids…

We took our family photo in the middle of our festival weekend, camera hastily balanced on top of our trolley… But we’re all the happiest we’ve been this year probably! The summer stretching out ahead of us! The kids are both getting so tall too, I don’t normally notice it but this photo makes them both seem like giants! Hope…
