I've been a bit lacking in the old activity front with the boys lately. After the various Christmas crafts in the lead up, we then actually had to get on with erm, Christmas itself.

But fear not, here's a relatively cheap and easy idea on how to make an awesome birthday or Christmas … Continue reading THE ONE WHERE WE DECIDED TO MAKE THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT… →

Just so you know, I'm currently sobbing into my phone writing this blog post because I've been back from our little sunny holiday over a week, the memories are fading as fast as my tan, and writing this will only serve to remind me it's going to be at least a year until our next … Continue reading SARAH SAID THAT ON TOUR: The Great British Package Holiday →

I've been a bit blog-awol of recent. Many reasons including continuous holiday prep (see previous blog!) and a teething 7 month old.  But the majority of my time, energy, wine and will to live lately has been used up on my eldest monkey AND I'M BLOODY EXHAUSTED!!! Many of you reading this will know me, … Continue reading ‘WILD CHILD’ →
