Another Year – Finishing Nursery And Year One!

I love the changing of the seasons and living in Great Britain we do actually get to see them in full technicolour each year. As Autumn moves to winter and my black tights and boots make an appearance I enjoy the changes in both the fashion and the feel then mid way through I look forward to some spring light and eventually a leap into summer. But summer, as unpredictable as the sunshine is, is where everything changes. Firstly I have my birthday […]

#PizzaExpressIceAge!

Posted in Uncategorized

Why do we repeatedly choose Pizza Express for our special celebrations? (And for the not so special but we just fancy a meal out as a family?) Well, because they do it SO well that’s why! They cater for adults of course but they also cater for children in a way which makes them feel grown up and special. Often times restaurants can be a fraught experience with little ones but at good old Pizza Express they never are. We […]

Always Discreet – A Documentary Screening!

Posted in Uncategorized

Hands up who knows what A.I is? No, not that terrible film with Hayley Joel whatsit, what WAS his name? You know, terribly odd behind the eyes and a little bit disturbing… Well, not that anyway… Nope, something a touch more embarrasing I’m afraid. A.I = Adult Incontinence. Now, when you’ve had a baby who produced a pretty horrendous tear then subsequently half the East End of London’s medical profession staring up your ‘you know what’ it’s kind of hard […]

FFS Katy Perry!

Posted in Uncategorized

Do you know what? I may not be a terribly laid back person in general (high mantenance is what my husband calls it) but I do think I’m an easy going and lenient parent when it comes to most things… I try to see things from their point of view and remember how I felt when I was little. I also try very hard to just be a bit cool and not embarrass them in front of their friends – I […]

Why ‘project based’ learning is important for younger children

Posted in Uncategorized

Schools up and down the country are always looking for new ways to challenge and motivate their students, as strict curriculums and heavy testing can weigh down on self confidence and motivation. My children went to a school in London which had an outstanding Ofsted report but it was very conformist and there wasn’t much room for thinking outside the box. Their new school i Norfolk is much more free thinking and when Jimmy goes into reception in September he […]

Hot Smoked Salmon Fillet Summer Salad Recipe – With Sainsbury’s!

Posted in Uncategorized

I love salads which is obviously perfect for this time of year but actually, I eat them all year round. People tend to think of them as summer dishes only but why limit yourself I say? I tend to just add healthier dishes like vegan baked potato  in the colder months so that I get that warm filled feeling but I absolutely wouldn’t say no to a great salad at any time of the year! Sainsbury’s recently go in contact with me […]
