Mum Stuff, Lifestyle & Me!
Sleepovers have come a long way since I was a child. Whenever I was invited to a sleepover it usually involved taking my very old and very thing nylon brown sleeping bag, a change of clothes and loads of snacks for those midnight feasts. We would camp out on my friend’s front room floor with …
The summer holidays are over and my children are back to school today. I was a mixed bag of emotions but managed to hold it together. I mentioned in a previous post that last year the summer holidays were utterly wonderful and that’s not a lie, yes it came with the usual stresses but I …
