On Tuesday 23rd the family and I travelled to Leicester to watch Alex Winters as Buttons in the Demontfort Hall Pantomime Cinderella. We all had an amazing time, with lots of laughs had by all. I was really impressed with the tiny 3 as this was the 1st time they’d been to a full length Continue reading →

My Sunday photo 21/12/2014
This week my Sunday photo is of the star on top of my Christmas tree. We brought it in the January sales after JR’s 1st Christmas. At the time we didn’t have a home of our own let alone a tree, but for £1.49 it was a bargain we could turn down. The following Christmas Continue reading →

An afternoon at forest school
Every week since JR started nursery at his current school he has attended a session in their on site forest school. However from year 1 until year 6 they only get 1 term of sessions, and last week was his last session of year 1. It was however a very special session because parents were Continue reading →
My little chicken catcher
The highlight of any holiday at Coombe Mill farm for the whole family is the daily feed run and tractor ride, with the hope each day that they would get to drive tne tractor with farmer Nick. First stop every morning would be the pigs and the chickens with the children deciding who would get Continue reading →
Dance Into The Holiday Season With L’Occitane
It’s that time of year again when we all hunt the perfect gifts for our friends and family. Buying for kids is seemingly easy with an endless array of toys and gifts aimed at the younger members of the family. When buying for older family and friends though the choice always seems quite limited with Continue reading →
My Sunday photo – 9/11/2014
Each week at dance 2 children get to take a trophy home. There are 2 dance teachers and each chooses the child they think deserves it that week for whatever reason. This week TP ‘won’ 1 of the trophies for ‘Good dancing and rehearsing’. He was so proud of himself when he told me and Continue reading →
An Autumnal feed run
On Saturday 25th October 2014 we packed the car, strapped the kids in their seats and headed off down the M5 and A30 to St Brewards, Bodmin for a week of farm fun at Coombe Mill. We however didn’t tell the kids where we were going, and they squealed with delight when they saw the sign Continue reading →
Remembrance Week on Cbeebies and CBBC

Cbeebies might have the answer during remembrance week as part of the special BBC programming Cbeebies and CBBC will have some special broadcasts. CBBC and CBeebies will simulcast a dialogue-free two-minute animated film, Poppies, Continue reading →

Yesterday we arrived for our second holiday of the year at coombe mill, so my Sunday photo this week could be only 1 thing I’m linking this to OneDad3Girls my Sunday photo
Extra hour in bed don’t you mean an extra hour before CBeebies
As I’m writing this it’s 5 am I’m at Coombe Milland I’ve already been awake for over a hour! Yes I’ve been awake with TP since before 4am! You see he always wakes between just before 5am and 6am. On a normal day I can keep him in bed with me until 6 or 6.30 Continue reading →
Cars 3 wheeled Tri-Scooter Deal
I don’t know about you but around this time every year I am always in the market for a bargain, especially if it means that the tiny 3 get to find a few more gifts under the tree on christmas morning. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I had an email from Suppose.com to Continue reading →
Parents Evening
Last thursday saw the 1st of 3 parents evenings that JR will have in year 1. To be honest I was not really looking forward to it, you see last year he wasn’t always the best behaved pupil in class and he didn’t always (ever) like to sit and do his reading or writing. Phonics seemed Continue reading →
Luck! – A bingo infographic
Does luck really exist or is it a frame of mind? When I was much younger I had a season ticket at The Hawthorns, each home game me and my dad would do the same things in the same order. Why? Because at some point we’d done those exact things in that exact order and Continue reading →
x is for X-Chromosome
Females have 2 X-Chromosomes one retained from their mother and one retained from their father, Males on the other hand retain the X-Chromosome from their mother and a Y-Chromosome from their father. So as I was struggling with what to come up with for my X I googled ‘Things beginning with X’, looking back now that Continue reading →
