Is Little 3 really ready to go to pre-school ?

It is true what they say, children really do grow fast, literally from one day to the next. I find it hard to believe that Little 3 will be starting pre-school in September, in just over 2 short weeks.

What the Little Ones wear- Living in Lilly and Sid

I have said it before and I will say it again that in our house we love colourful and comfortable clothes, the Little Ones are always picking out what they want to wear and this summer season we happen to own quite a large selection of Lilly and Sid.

The girls get creative with Glam Goo deluxe

Slime, the latest craze- the girls have made it at school, bought it and tried to re-create it at home, they love playing with it, stretching at and now they can accessorise it.

The one with the water balloon fight

So the sun is still holding out and boy is it hot, the Little Ones have practically lived in the paddling pool for weeks and keeping cool to avoid uncomfortable sweaty children has become the main priority right now. 

Exploring the Giant LEGO animal trail at Slimbridge WWT

Last Sunday we had the most awesome family day out at WWT Slimbridge exploring this summer's attraction, the giant LEGO animal trail. Fourteen giant LEGO animals at 1.5 metres high dotted around the wetlands centre for us to find each taking hours to build by professional LEGO builders and using no less than 253,728 bricks to build in total.

Little 2 reads with Oxford University Press new home reading scheme 'Read with Oxford'

In our house reading is a big thing, we have read to all three Little Ones since babyhood and still continue to do so every night. It may have changed over the years from toddler lift-the-flap books to short stories to Daddy and Little 1 taking it in turns to read pages of Harry Potter series but still we read. Did you know that Reading with your child can be THE most important thing to do with them to help them at school, to get along in life and even reach their full potential?

What the Little Ones wear- Kitted out in Kite

When the package arrived I was so excited, tearing into the parcel to reveal the most gorgeous yellow t-shirt and fushia pink pedal pushers, I just knew that when Little 2 got home from school and saw it her school uniform would be gone in seconds, swapped for this beautiful outfit and I wasn't wrong.

Little 1 is head over heels about Gymnastics

If you have seen my eldest daughter recently you will know that she spends very little time on her feet, you see she is gymnastics mad and can most often be found cartwheeling upside down or the wrong way up practicing her handstands. She can not help herself cartwheeling along the grass on the way to school or doing a handstand as she crosses the front room, she simply can not sit still.
