I received a letter through the door last week informing me I need to apply for Lottie’s school place for next year. I almost choked when I read it. Although I knew it would come.. I am just not ready. The thought of my youngest girl going off to school actually breaks my heart. I didn’t have this feeling with Maisy and Bella, they were the big sisters and more than ready for their big school adventure. Lottie is my baby; she’s so dinky still and despite telling me all the time she is a big girl I can’t bare…
A few weeks ago now the girls and I were invited to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for a fun family day out. Despite being just an hour away I had never heard of it! Everyone I seem to mention it to since says ‘oh yes we’ve been’ or ‘we’ve thought about going’. So I really must of been living under a rock!

I am so guilty of the old 3pm cake break mid week; I start to flag a little and instantly reach for a cuppa and something sweet to see me through till dinner. It makes me happy but it’s not great on my waist line which is why I have been on the look out for some tasty alternatives. With perfect timing I was asked if I would like to try out the new Knoppers snack which is just being launched in the UK! Knoppers is made with crispy baked wafers, a milky hazelnut filling and a chocolatey wafer coating –…
The 6 week holidays is a long time for us parents to entertain the kids. I find it easiest to plan ahead and break it up with a few trips or bigger(er) days out here and there and then add in the play dates, park days & beach trips. Before you know it your schedule is pretty full and the kids are happy! So that is one of the reasons I booked in a couple of days away for the kids and I in London. It was our little girls trip and we had so much fun! Hotels in London aren’t…
