Lets start with … Continue reading My Last Week of November

As usual, nothing … Continue reading Tulley Farm – Pumpkin and Spookfest
Baby Led Weaning
Baby led weaning.....lets talk about this for a moment. This is a new concept for me. All my children were fed straight from a bowl, to their mouths, on a spoon (or sometimes direct from a pouch) by me. When Charlie was younger he choked on everything. Sometimes he brought it up himself, sometimes he … Continue reading Baby Led Weaning
Do kids see race?
Barack Obama tweeted recently 'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion......'

CampBestival 2017
Well, what an experience this was!! On paper, this weekend was my idea of absolute hell. Six children (two babies), a tent, rain....lots of rain, mud....lots of mud and not a tiled roof in sight!

Choosing the right Secondary School
I thought about the boys future before they were even born. I looked into primary schools, high schools and nurseries.

It seemed like … Continue reading Choosing the right Secondary School
