Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Yet again I’ve been surprised by charity generosity. N is so different to me as a child. He’s so generous and always wants to donate to charity. Sometimes we have to rein him in a bit. Nowadays, with the internet…
Well, we’ve reached the end of another year. Another in limbo year when some things were pretty much back to normal (tennis), but others (socialising) was still nowhere near back to normal thanks to Covid still being rampant. Fingers crossed…
I think this December’s school days has been a mixed bag. The fun of the end of the school year and festive week with non normal school days. But having to do a Christmas play that not many of them…
November was a funny month. It’s approaching Christmas, but they’re still working as normal with the fun stuff not yet happening. N’s still been wearing shorts despite the temperature dropping, although thankfully the one day there was snow, he did…

Now N’s in year 6 and school’s back, it means it’s time to think about applying for secondary schools. We’ve got until the end of October to apply – in our case it’s 4 schools we can put down, although…
So far, having an only child has been great. The anticipated downsides that I might have expected haven’t really appeared. Having an only child has only been a benefit for us. But has this changed as N’s grown? After having…
