As part of The Big Mummy Blog Share this week I am featuring a fellow mummy blogger! Meet Lavania Oluban from Arlo River Rex . She is a mummy blogger from Birmingham.

*AD- I’m working in a paid partnership with McDonald’s UK and Britmums to help highlight the Happy Readers programme, which provides books to children with their Happy Meals. Daisy, Teddy and I were really excited to go along to one of our local McDonalds restaurants as it’s a family favourite for us, our kids all like something on the menu, we get to have a break…

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”. Kahlil Gibran The is the week where we said goodbye to the Summer holidays and hello to routine!  I’m not going to lie, I have found it really hard to get my motivation even after being pretty ready for some routine, so much so I have written another post all about…
