Yesterday we went blueberry picking at Fairgreen Farms, near King’s Lynn, Norfolk. We visited Fairgreen Farms for some pick your own blueberry fun last year, so we were familiar with the set up. Being outside, we thought it would be a reasonably safe post-lockdown activity to do as a family. I’ve been really anxious throughout this pandemic and haven’t been inside a shop since early…
I think I’ve probably started every birthday letter to you in a similar way, but I cannot believe that you are four! You are becoming more and more grown up every day. I’m so pleased that I have written these letters to you each year, to record how you have grown into the wonderful person that you are. A year ago, I couldn’t have begun…
Earlier this week I had an email from Scholastic sharing some of the FREE Julia Donaldson-related resources they’ve produced for 3-5 and 5-7 year olds. So we thought we’d try out the Superworm EYFS activity. I have two girls, B, aged just-turned-two and M, very-nearly-four.

Dear B, Happy birthday! It is hard to believe that already two whole years have passed since you were born, and yet, you seem so grown up that it is really not that surprising. You continue to amaze us every day with your speech and your understanding; only yesterday I was reading The Singing Mermaid to you, and as the mermaid chose to go with…
Yesterday we were invited to visit Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure park, Norfolk. During half term week (17th – 23rd February), they’re offering 50% off the on-the-gate ticket price to anyone under the age of 16 who dresses up for the Fantasy February event. Roarr! are also running a number of lovely activities during the week, from storytelling sessions to crafting, all following the fantasy theme. You’d…
Every week I join in with Living Arrows, a blog linky run by Donna at What the Redhead Said. The name Living Arrows comes from a poem by Kahlil Gibran; “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”, and each Monday I share a photo of M, and one of B, and a bit about what we’ve been up…
