In Flanders Fields…
Today is the 11th Day of the 11th Month. We should always remember what was sacrificed by so many, 100 years ago. The war to end all wars, at the time. (Sadly, we know that wasn’t the case) My children and I wear our poppies with pride, support the Poppy Factory (which is a short walk from our […]

Not sleeping well? It might be your mattress?
*we were very kindly sent a Dormeo mattress to try out. All words and opinions are my own* I’ve written many posts on sleep, on this blog, as you will know, if you are a regular reader here. Sleep and getting what we term a reasonable amount of it, has been an ongoing issue for […]

Friday’s Rant from the Soap Box in MY Living Room – Please don’t ask me to take part in armchair activism….
This week I have been sharing some stats and posts on Breast Cancer, encouraging people (men get breast cancer too) and helping to share information on what to look for and when to seek medical help.

Resources for those working with children…Welcome to Twinkl
I don’t talk about my “day job” a lot, partly because it’s a part of my life I prefer to keep separate, although I know that some of the lovely families that come to the groups I help to run, do follow me on social media, and occasionally read my blog. I work with a […]

What’s your vice? Mine is coffee…
I have one vice, I like to think and it might be time for me to cut back, and reduce my consumption. I bet you can guess, if you follow me in any way shape or form, on social media, or know me in real life, what it is….? Yup, if you guessed coffee, you […]
