Back to school 2020 isn't quite the same as 2019 was. It's been so much longer since they were in and we still aren't quite sure what school will look like next Wednesday. School have sent us an email with some information but there are still plenty of questions. Here's how we prepare for R-day,… Continue reading Back to school countdown 2020
It's still only a few weeks since small boy's birthday so we're working our way through his new games. We loved Bug Bingo and this weekend we decided to give Dobble a go. This was another Amazon wishlist purchase: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Asmodee-ASMDOBB01EN-Dobble-Card-Game/dp/B0031QBHMA Getting Started Inside the packaging (bah humbug, too much unnecessary plastic) there's a lovely compact… Continue reading Review: Dobble
Its been said thousands of times by, well, pretty much everyone. 2020 hasn't quite been what anyone could have expected at the start of the year.

One of the reception mums just asked on our Facebook group who's going to be back in school on Monday. Only a few replies so far but most are staying home still, including small boy. Considerations There are lots of reasons for us, some selfish and others more community spirited. For starters, trying to take… Continue reading Considering a Return to School
This is a little diary of our nineth week in social isolation, home learning, and with both himself and me working from home. I'm going to just talk about the highlights and low lights. A full diary takes a lot of writing and I can't imagine anyone's really interested in all the detail. See what… Continue reading Staying home, staying safe – week 9
Yesterday a chat with a friend about some reactions she had to having a moan gave me cause to pause and think about what we're grateful for. My friend had been told to stop whining about how hard things are for her - she's looking after a 4 year old who has little interest is… Continue reading Gratitude
Ça fait un certain temps que j'ai voulu écrire quelque chose en Français. Cela est assez dur pour moi, je parle assez facilement mais a l’écrit mon français n'est pas terrible!
