Internet Matters, it really does… Both my children can easily navigate search engines, online games and the Cbeebies website on any one of the 4 tablets we have in our household. If my son has a school project, with just a little bit of help from me he can go online and find out all […]

To many, the bedtime hour is about routine, it’s quiet time for your children to wind down, to have baths, stories and be ready to drift off to sleep.  For me it’s so much more.  As a parent who works full time, for me the hour before my children’s bedtime is the most precious hour […]

I have been tagged by the lovely mummy vs work to share what I dream of owning the most and here it is… Not just one brick! But our own own bricks and mortar, a house that we can decorate how we want, and know it is our own. I have lived in rented properties […]

Today is Mother’s Day and like many other Mummies I was treated to breakfast in bed! My lovely husband and children sneaked off to our local deli at 9am this morning leaving me in bed free to roll over and go back to sleep and when they returned they had bags filled with goodies… My […]
