One of today’s activities…thought I’d share. Great for keeping little minds, and hands, occupied when the weather isn’t great 🏳️

Leaving Day. Oh my gosh, it’s the hardest ever. This wee family has been such a huge part of our lives for years now. We’ve watched their children grow to be the most amazing little people. Happy, funny, caring, confident, smart, polite, wonderful little people. I just don’t have enough adjectives!

My job can be tough some times. But when you read words of thanks like I received this morning, well (besides making me full on sob into my coffee) it makes every moment worthwhile.

Can’t wait to see what awesome things this family, especially the kids, get up to in the years to come. It’s truly been my pleasure 💕

After a woeful week, weather-wise, we finally said goodbye to our little butterfly friends in the sunshine ☀️

The first question was.... When can we get more caterpillars 😂

A month after planting, and ‘J’s’ radishes are in the lead! I wonder will the spring onions and carrots catch up? 🤔

I love watching the kids faces when we do activities like this. They are fascinated by all the little living things. Plants, animals, just nature in general. So lovely to see 🥰

More planting today.... 🤩

The kids have been so excited for this stage! I’m just relieved they actually survived! Lol

Well look what just arrived! Feeling the pressure now to look after our 5 baby caterpillars!

Wish us luck 🐛

Happy Mother’s Day to all ‘my mummies’ 💕

You are all amazing. The safe havens you have built for all your little people to protect them, especially in this past year, are second to none.

You’ve all been juggling raising your families, working, homeschooling, taking care of your partners, worrying about so many uncontrollable factors... and your children have made it!!!

They’re still thriving, they’re still smiling, they’re still loving life, in spite of everything! You all deserve to have the BEST day 💕

Give yourselves a pat on the back. And, just this once, feel proud of what you’ve achieved and what you’ve survived this year!

Happy Mother’s Day 😍

By far and away the single biggest investment I have made in my business (and all my kiddies), and worth every penny 👏🏼

New artificial grass for all the kids to enjoy year round 🥳 Now, as long as it’s dry, the kids can all burn off some much needed energy! 😍

And with school, clubs and sports STILL not back for many of our children - they need to be out in the fresh air as much as possible. The benefits as far as their physical and mental health are concerned are immeasurable ☀️

So glad they can now do that safely here ❤️

Week 2️ of the challenge starts today! Take time out from home-schooling and encourage your child to do these week’s activities:
Do the Mobot 🕺
Go out with silly hair 👩
Try some train spotting 🚆
