We love a family beach day. We love visiting the beach at different times of the year and exploring the coast in all sorts of weather. We find slightly cooler days work for us better, as we can be a bit more active with the kids and don’t need to worry about them getting too hot and applying suncream all then time. It makes for…

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”. Kahlil Gibran I will keep this fairly short as I’m writing this quite late as we returned from a weekend away in Scotland at the in-laws. They really enjoyed meeting our niece’s cockapoo puppy Maisie and I’m sure I’m going to be getting more pressure for a four legged addition to…

Following on from last year’s Summer Activity post, I thought why not make it bigger and hopefully better.  I have put together this list with days at home in mind, staycations and a few holiday ideas, so that hopefully it will give you some inspiration whether you’re at home or away this Summer.

It really is special that Donna from What the Redhead hosts this link up, as being able to look back on all the small things over the year is pretty special. Now onto week 26~52! It was a little tiring for…

Welcome to how to be organised in July.  I can’t believe we’re now just over half way through 2019.  I seem to be writing these posts far too soon each month!  For us this month has been packed full of school dates and it feels like the end of term madness definitely started earlier this year.  So this month continues to be a bit more…

Welcome back to another monthly meal planning post.  I’m not sure that my meal planning went entirely to plan in June.  I had picked lots of recipes with sun and Summer in mind and ended up having quite a few more comforting dishes with the cooler/wetter weather that we had for the most part of the month.   That said the last few days with…
