One of my favourite things about summer is that there are lots of opportunities to take the boys to see live music. Last year we managed to take them to Festwich and Headlander Festival, as well as kids festival Lollibop. This year I’m hoping to take them back to the places we enjoyed and also …
Our Schleich Dinosaur Adventures
The boys love doing something fun after school so one day last week I decided to set up a ‘Dinosaur Dig’ ready for when they got home. Incidentally – I thought this activity was about archaeology, because we’re digging stuff up. It isn’t. It’s about paleontology – the scientific study of life. So that’s me told, then. Thanks …
That old devil called life insurance
How cute are those ten pound notes? What do you mean, you don’t know what I’m talking about? Go and watch the video above NOW! I’m all about paying it forward and love hearing about random acts of kindness, so I loved this video. It may have brought a smile to my face but Beagle …
Buile Hill Park, Salford
A couple of weeks ago, we took full advantage of a sunny day and visited a park we’ve never been to before. Buile Hill Park in Salford is right in the heart of the city, but you wouldn’t know it. There are two play areas at Buile Hill Park. One full of brightly coloured metal …
#WIN a family ticket to Geronimo Festival!
I’ve posted before about Geronimo – the brand new kids festival in Cheshire for 2015. With the festival organisers adding more and more to the line up all the time it’s set to be a truly fantastic event for all and I genuinely can’t wait to take the boys there. To recap, this is what …
#WIN A Sooty ABC DVD
Sooty seems to be an utterly timeless character. He was around when I was learning my ABCs and he’s around now that Rowan is learning his. The difference between then and now though is that I didn’t have an educational, fun and exciting DVD to watch, full of cute mischievous puppets. Preschoolers can now learn …
Project 365: Week 11
Week eleven seems to have been a week of people in the main. Days 67 to 73 look like this for us … Day Sixty Seven A selfie from me with my best fluffy friend, Betsy the Dog! Day Sixty Eight If I’m honest, I didn’t even take this. Louis took a selfie on my …
Project 365: Week 10
Days 60 to 66 of 2015 looked like this for us … Day Sixty Oh, what an evening we had on Sunday. The boys were playing upstairs and – although they are forbidden from jumping on the bed – they decided to have a little bounce, and also to throw in a few karate …
Project 365: Week 9
Playing catch up as usual, I am looking back over the last three weeks in photos today. Firstly up is week nine which is days 53 to 59 of 2015. Day Fifty Three We drove over to Chester to visit The Crocky Trail but by the time we arrived the heavens had opened and …
The Penguin Lapbook Project
Rowan has been showing a keen interest in penguins lately so I thought something penguin-related at home would be fun for us to do together. My first port of call is always the Twinkl website because I know that if something isn’t on there, I probably don’t need it. There isn’t a week goes by …
