I love reading books to the kids, and Athena is now starting to try to read books herself- she’s definitely way more interested in the actual story-line these days rather than just looking at the pictures. I’ve put together a bumper selection of amazing books you can add to your kid’s Christmas lists, each one… Read More
A very quick ‘Little Loves’ post from me as I am running out of time to get everything done before I go away in a couple of days! I didn’t want to miss Septembers update out completely though as I love looking back on them! Read I read the seven books below this month, a… Read More
Blimming heck, August literally just started and suddenly it’s over! I’ve managed to pack a lot into it, apart from sleep! We did two festivals, starting August at Chilled in a Field and then the Bank Holiday weekend at The Big Feastival. We also did day trips to London Zoo and Chessington, plus lots of seeing… Read More
Is June going so incredibly fast for anyone else, or just for me? It seems like Athena’s birthday on the 6th was ages ago and I keep expecting the date to be a lot closer to the end of the month than it has been! I think it’s because my mind is on a count… Read More
Credit Literature is full of gorgeous locations, from ranging moors to beautiful buildings and architecture.

Every few months or more I write a little post up about the books that my kids have enjoyed looking at, and books I have enjoyed reading to them as neither can read yet! We have lots of books, they’re all over the house and they’re the one thing I really don’t mind being left… Read More
I’m in full planning mode for my holiday next month, I’ve written a packing list, more or less worked out an outfit for each day, and topped up my Kindle app with new books! For this holiday I’m going hand luggage only in a bid to save fifty quid! I’ve got the luxury of staying… Read More
There are a few books in rotation this month in our house, a few the kids like to read together and a few personal favourites from both kids. They’ve both got more interested in books, and instead of a pre-bedtime session with a few books, we often read them after breakfast or at points during… Read More
We reviewed the gorgeous Hardback (or ‘for best’ as Athena calls them) Mibo Books a while ago, and although we do read them quite often we have to be so careful as Arlo is still in the destructive phase and I don’t want anything to happen to the ‘best’ books! But now he can look… Read More
