Wow. What a busy month we have had. The youngest finished nursery and the other two finished Year One and Year five. September is going to be here before I know it and the craziness will begin again except I’ll have to remember PE kits for three rather than two. We started off the summer…
One of the most common things that many people have experienced during the last year is that it has started to feel more and more as though things are never going to go back to the way that they were. And, to a certain extent, that’s probably true. There’s a good chance that there will…
This month’s siblings post sees the end of the summer holidays and the beginning of the school year. We still made use of our National Trust Membership by visiting Dunham Massey for a lovely day and we were joined there by my parents which was lovely. A lot of the remaining summer saw the farmer…
So unless you have been living under a stone, back to school season is well and truly upon us. My eldest boy (middle child) is starting primary school in September and I think one of the biggest landmarks in a child’s life is getting those first school shoes. With three children, I must have spent…
This month’s siblings sees the end of the 2018 summer holidays, a revamped bedroom and a new puppy. We spend the last month going on quite a few days out. Only locally to play farms and parks but the children did enjoy themselves. The boys love anything ride-on so that is always a winner and…

The schools may have only just finished for summer but retailers are already looking ahead to back to school and some savvy parents (not me) may well have already bought school uniform for the next academic year. When I was a child, the school uniform was the boring bit. It was the new pencil case,…
So this time next week, we will be back at school and it can sometimes be hard to get into the swing of strict time schedules and routines when children have had over six weeks off. I have heard of some parents getting their children up at a time for school and having practise school…
College is difficult enough to get through, but when you have a baby to look after at the same time, it brings along with it a whole set of further challenges. According to research, approximately one in every four undergraduate students has a child of their own. For students who are also single parents, both…
