This time last week I had just returned home following a day at The Baby Show with a good friend and two of the children. It was a day of an unplanned, but most welcomed digital detox. We were too busy chatting, laughing and exploring to even check our phones. … View Post
Have you ever questioned what it is that makes you so special? Last year whilst watching a TV series that we’d downloaded there was an episode in which a young mum goes for a job interview. In that interview, she is asked what makes you so special – she pauses and tries to think of an answer before replying… Nothing. I’m just a mum. With that, she gets up and walks away.

Falling asleep on the sofa whilst watching her favourite film, The Greatest Showman.… View Post
Things happen in our lives to try us. Those moments that make us question ourselves, the world around us and how we can improve things going forward.
This week has been full of these moments for me. I’ve tried my best to shake off the last trying moment in order to deal with the next. I have failed. It has been one thing after another and if I’m honest it has gotten the better of me.… View Post
Yesterday confirmed something which if I’m honest I already knew but had buried my head in the sand over. Piglet isn’t likely to get a preschool placement at our local school starting in January. Actually, I’m not convinced that she’ll get a place for next September either.… View Post
With back to school season upon us, it brings an air of change in the Boo Roo and Tigger Too household. Whilst Roo is heading up to high school and Tigger into Key Stage 2. … View Post
