So I haven’t blogged for a while. Life got pretty busy last year and before I knew where I was, it was coming up Christmas time! We had a wonderful Christmas and saw in the New Year together setting intentions and goals, making plans for adventures and travel. One full month into the New Year […]

Today’s learning is all about skeletons. After a blustery walk with scooters it was home to warm up and start our next topic. We are trying out a new online learning site with this one so we’ll let you know how we get on!
A Happy Birthday?
Given the family events going on recently, you would have thought I’d have blogged but the truth is that I really didn’t want to. I didn’t want to put into words the confusion I was feeling, the happiness mixed with sadness is an odd sensation when it comes. I feel disloyal. Anyway, the feelings were […]
What’s in a Birthday…
Some how, next week Emma turns 13 and Jack turns 7. Em’s birthday is all planned out, ready to go but you’d be forgiven for being confused about Jacks age, given that last year he was remaining 5. This year he is turning 6 (or remaining 6) so I’ll need to make sure my brain […]
Love the inside too..
As some of you know, several weeks ago my mindset towards my body and health shifted and I’ve started loving and honouring my body in a way that I never have. Health and fitness is firmly on my agenda, a constant that I’ve worked into my days and is as non negotiable as changing nappies. […]
Finding me…
It can be a funny life, having a mix of typical children and a not so typical child, one that has highs higher than I’ve ever experienced and lows so low that you think you might drown at any second. We all know how easy it is to lose yourself when raising children, often putting […]
New term…
Well, that’s it, the summer is well and truly over! Charlie has gone back to school for his final year in Primary and Ava has just started her journey in reception. Time has flown by so quickly and having Charlie and Ava at opposite ends of their Primary school road really brings it home. Going […]
The Fast Food Revolution…
Recently I was asked to go along to one of my local McDonald’s to take a sneak peek at the ways they are revolutionising fast food. McDonald’s came to the UK in 1974 and since then has grown to 1249 Â restaurants spanning the length and breath of the UK (as of 2014). Pretty much everyone […]
Jack’s first AFO’s…
So here we are, in a place I didn’t think we would be. Jack’s first AFO’s. For those unfamiliar, AFO’s (ankle foot orthosis) are designed to treat foot and ankle disorders in children. They are also known as braces and now come in some really cool designs. Since we started this journey, members of Jack’s […]
Progress…
We are finally on the home straight, just a few more weeks until Summer break and it got me thinking about Jack’s progress over the past 12 months. The year has gone quickly, with many things unchanged. Jack still can’t read. He doesn’t know his alphabet, he can’t recognise most letters. His number recognition is […]
