The last month has whizzed by in a whirr of after school clubs, extra curricular activities and wishing there were more hours in the day. I remember when I was at school that I never thought I spent enough time at home and now I never think my wn children spend enough time at home….
It’s been a funny old month for the siblings. Mainly because my daughter was off on half term for one week and then the boys were off the week after. While it meant that I got some lovely one-on-one time with my eldest, it also meant the siblings didn’t get a week together. On the…
Halloween will be a very different affair this year thanks to Covid-19. For us, having no neighbours means we don’t trick or treat anyway so I feel like Halloween might not be too different for us. I know the children will be sad about the lack of Halloween disco at school though so I have…
Halloween has dominated the last month of siblings. I am pleased to say that all outfits were worn more than once so we have definitely had our monies worth. An annual Halloween disco took place at my eldest boy’s school and I took the three children. I was pleased the youngest wanted to be a…
Farms can be scary places-especially at night when everything is deathly quiet and you can hear the rustling of a sheep in a darkened shed or maybe it is something else. As ever, I like to find the farm-link with everything so I have put y thinking cap on to come up with some farm…

This month has been about half term and pumpkins for my three. They enjoyed baking and a Halloween treasure hunt and, while we didn’t really go far in their week off, they had lots of fun together on the farm. The boys especially go through a constant cycle of loving each other to fighting over…
I toyed with calling this post ‘how to participate in Halloween when you have no neighbours’ because really, that is the reason for this activity. I don’t agree with trick or treating anyway so I decided this year to turn it on its head. If you can have an Easter egg hunt, why not a…
I read a post in a blogging group recently about supermarkets selling pumpkins and squashes for as little as 39p. The bloggers were innocently sharing this just in case anyone wanted a few for props for their Instagram feeds and blog posts. I am as excited as the next blogger about cute things to put…
It’s been funny old month. Usually they seem to fly by and it seems like 35 seconds since the last siblings post. This month it feels like 35 months. I don’t know why. We’ve had half term and Halloween which were lovely. We went to an aquarium at the beginning of half term and met…
