Sharing Family Life and Travel
This week our 9 year old turn into a 10 year old. What!? 10!??? I'm not old enough to have a 10 year! I'm pretty sure I'm still 21.... It was wasn't the usual birthday but he said it was "EPIC!" Usually on birthdays the kids get to choose where we go for a day [...]
We LOVE a Fire Pit! It's one of our favourite things to do. There is something about sitting outdoors, around a fire in the evening and spending time together......it kinda helps me to reset. The only bad thing about is coming in and smelling of smoke! I will put up with it though, as the [...]
This Easter, in social distancing, has possibly been one of our best Easters. We started off with a classic - a lie in! It was awesome! Then, after hearing Freckled Faces 3 and 4 sneak downstairs to see if the Easter Bunny had been, we had a big family Easter morning hug and began the [...]
Since moving house (and towns) last summer, we have been trying to explore different areas close by. One of our new favourite places is Greenway Bank Country Park in Stoke-on-Trent. It is so peaceful and picturesque. Well....as peaceful as it can be when you're visiting with 4 lively kids! It has 2 entrances and car [...]
Hi everyone, it’s Freckled Face number 2. I made some Easter Bark with my mum today. I really enjoyed making it and we all REALLY enjoyed eating it! I wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it too. It took 5 minutes to make and we left it for about an hour [...]
Our 4 Freckled Faces are all at different ages and abilities, which is making 'Crisis Schooling' a little tricky in these COVID19 Lockdown times. I'm sure this is the case for lots of you too, right? I have been setting them challenges that they can all do to the best of their own abilities, but [...]
I know some of you may be thinking 'Oh good, another post about the coronavirus!' I totally get that! However, we wanted to share some of our experiences and the activities we have done so far to help us get through it. You may or may not be looking for ideas, and everyone is different [...]
I'm sure there are a lot of parents who are trying to figure out how they are going to home school their children and trying their best to prepare. I thought I would share something that I am going to be including in our home schooling over the next.....however long!? There is so much craziness [...]
I recently watch the film 'Wonder Woman' - I know, I'm pretty late to the party eh!? What can I say - I’m a busy mum of 4 who doesn’t get an awful lot of time to do things just for me - so I have to prioritise......and nowadays if I do decide to watch [...]
Being a mum is so fun and rewarding .....but not all the time, right? It can be tiring, draining, emotionally challenging, hard work.....but everything we do is worth it. Seeing your children smile, progress and enjoy life - is there a greater feeling?? Motherhood looks different to everyone. Stay at home mums, working mums....some mums [...]
