It would never have occured to me not to take N into restaurants. But sometimes the media gets hold of stories about restaurants who refuse children entry. Or you hear stories of children running around while their parents don’t seem…
It’s not often I do random days out, but having a full flexi-day off allows me that opportunity. I can tick off places that N won’t visit. This time I visited Greys Court, a National Trust property near Henley, then…
We go through phases of using our National Trust membership. Usually over Christmas we’ll visit a couple of places, and when we’re on holidays I’ll try and persuade N to visit with me. But at home it’s harder to get…
Onto week 47 of Project 52, and there’s not long left til the end of 2018. Eek, it’s gone past so quickly. It’s been a mixed week. Sunday N played in his first individual inter club matchplay ‘tournament’. It was…
This year is the year of the robot for N. His favourite subject at school is maths, and has been introduced to basic coding at school. So STEM toys like the Mind designer robot we were sent to review go…

This week, week 46 of Project 52, has whizzed by after a slower week last week. It’s not been any busier than normal, just felt faster. On Sunday, N and I went to the cinema to watch The Grinch. We…
Sometimes things your children do just make you smile. N isn’t a writer, he’s not a leader (although he can get a bit bossy sometimes), he’s not a really confident outgoing child. And he doesn’t like to put himself forward…
Until a few years ago when N started school, I had no idea what STEM was. I still have to look it up – Science, technology, engineering and maths. But nowadays it’s everywhere, and STEM toys are taking over. Because…
I wanted to try a quick either or tag to let me readers know a bit more about myself. And hopefully some other bloggers will join in and continue the tag. It’s a simple either or, but of course I…
