With two out of my three children in school, homework has become part and parcel of our weekly routine. Whilst the amount and difficulty differs according to their age group, there are some products that they both require in order for homework time to go as smoothly as possible. As part of the Wayfair Home Experts team, I am collaborating with them to showcase a couple of homework station inspiration ideas.… View Post
Summer is here and as a family, we are spending more and more time outdoors. With our garden slowly taking shape the kids are loving playing on the trampoline and in the playhouse. Or in… View Post
Kids are a lot noisier than adults but they’re less fussy when it comes to interior decor. There are tons of ways to please the kiddies with their very own space. The mention of having their very own spot will make them squeal with delight, but consider ways to turn the basement into a child-friendly space.… View Post

One of the things that all of the children seem to love is helping Mr. Boo when he completes the gardening chores. From collecting the weeds he has pulled up, holding the garden bin as he empties the grass cuttings etc. Whilst there are a number of chores they can assist with, mowing the lawn isn’t.
