The difference in family routines
However much I set out everything for the morning the night before, it always seems like a rush. Of course that might be due to me wanting to read in bed for as long as possible now I’m back into…

Matter of fact children
It’s coming up for a year after my mum died. I can’t believe it’s been a year, and yet in some ways it feels like a lot longer. She’d been suffering for the best part of a year with an…
Introducing films to children – Disney and more
Until we went on holiday in October, N had never watched a film all the way through. He could just about sit still for the 30 minutes of a Tractor Ted dvd, and had managed to watch 40 minutes or…

Farm children play – working and water fun
