Over the years, we’ve sold and bought loads of things on eBay, Preloved and other selling sites. eBay especially can get very addictive. It is so thrilling to either watch what you’re selling receive bids or to bid on something yourself. Over the years though, the questions we have been asked have been a … [Read more…]
We have really struggled since having Baby J on where to put him. Our house is so weird and on so many different levels that we had to think carefully about where he could lie down. With an over-zealous two year old brother who often gets a bit rough with the baby, we could never … [Read more…]
If your children like playing with vehicles, there comes a point where they want a bit more from their regular track. We still love our BigJigs Farm Playset but our little trains are daredevils so they needed more of a slalom track to fly down. Mesmerising corners with height defying descents or steep inclines to … [Read more…]
I feel like the time since the last Siblings post has been quite uneventful. The weather has been lovely so there has been a lot of playing out for the siblings and haymaking for Daddy. We always go and have a picnic in the field with Daddy when he is busy. Our picnic this year … [Read more…]
I am a firm believer in the fact that the more babies you have, the more laid back you become. When I had Boo, I knew nothing. I think you definitely wing it with your first. They are the trial run if you like. I weaned Boo at 17 weeks. I know. It seems so … [Read more…]
If you compare the blog posts I write between now and two years ago, there is a bit of a difference. Two years ago, I had just had our second baby and I wrote loads about babies, having a newborn and all the things that come with that. Fast forward two years and our third … [Read more…]

The regional co-ordinator at Farming and Countryside Education (FACE), Samantha Summerfield, called for the Department for Education to set aside cash to ensure all pupils are given the chance to get out on farm. This call was directly in response to a previous study which, … [Read more…]
Elstree in Hertfordshire is famous for many things-the BBC studios probably the most well known. There is a new attraction in the area though, set up by farming champion, Jess Allen-Back, founder of Home Farm Glamping. So close to London (the glamping site is inside the M25), you wouldn’t think you could get very rural … [Read more…]
They say time flies when you’re having fun. It is certainly the case when you have goats. I cannot believe we have had them a year. If you remember, it took a long time to persuade Hubster to let me get them but he did, eventually give in. I was so excited the day we … [Read more…]
With the #oats feed on Instagram approaching one million snaps of tempting bowls of porridge decorated with colourful, beautifully chopped fruit, dollops of peanut butter and even a chunk or two of chocolate, it’s easy to see why oats have gained in popularity and why it is the latest ‘in’ healthy breakfast. But what makes … [Read more…]
