I don’t think Jack could have been more excited to visit the “BEAR Nibbles Factory” as he had affectionately coined it that very wet Tuesday morning to learn all about one of our fave snack brands, BEAR. View Post
Why Being Bored is the Best
The other morning, Jack wandered over to me as he would any other morning, looked at me, and said, “mummy, I’m a bit bored.’ I didn’t even know that he knew the word “bored” let alone that he could put it in what I can only assume is its correct context. I immediately felt concerned; like someone had given me a mini parenting punch in the stomach. I wanted to sweep him up in my arms and start engaging him in an activity together to expel the dreaded ‘b’ word and ‘have fun’! I didn’t, and sure enough he soon ran off (anyone elses’ kid RUN everywhere?) and was engaged again in play.

5 Ideas to Grow Your Child’s Independence
“I’ll do it!”, “No, stop! Don’t help me,” she demands as she wanders between my partner in the kitchen cooking and me tidying in the lounge. She offers, “Can I help?”, and wants to help fold clean laundry or wash the floor – (in my eyes) the most mundane tasks. But I let her, of course I do. View Post
The Plastic Free Parent guide is HERE!
A few weeks back, Plastic-Free Me and I introduced our Plastic Free Parent campaign challenging parents to analyse their behaviours as a family and to consider reducing their plastic consumption on a week by week basis. It was nerve wracking putting this out there – would parents feel offended that we were asking this of them? Would it be too much to ask of us all? View Post
An Alternative Guide to Florida
Let me be honest from the outset: I don’t think we’d ever have chosen Florida as a holiday destination were it not for the fact that Sam’s cousin was getting married there.
