Travel: How To Teach Your Toddler A Second Language (When You Don’t Speak One Yourself)
Let me start this post by explaining that – despite the fact we own several English-Italian bilingual books – neither my toddler, nor my preschooler, speaks a second language. Having said that, I’ve just backed a Kickstarter campaign to develop a new kind of language-learning book for children, and I think it could radically change […]
Family: I Remember The First Time
My youngest has just started putting words together this week. She’s 1-and-a-half, and ‘I do it’ is the current favourite – uttered at least 800 times a day, mainly when I’m in a rush to leave the house (and ‘it’ is putting all her clothes on, backwards).

Family: Don’t Applaud Me For Not Being On My Phone Around My Kids
I wish my nails looked like this. Alas, not my hands. Or my phone. Yesterday at the park, an older lady complimented me. “Well done you for paying attention to your kids,” she said as she passed, “and not staring at your phone like they all do these days.” The “they” she was referring to […]
Life: Why I’ll Never Be A Proper Blogger (A Ballad For Bloggers)
It’s been a weird few weeks. Since being nominated for a couple of blogging awards (which is obviously both amazing and astonishing in equal measure), I’ve been thrown head-first into the world of Being A Proper Blogger, having mainly been making it up as I went along until now. It’s fair to say it’s been […]

Travel: North Yorkshire For Kids 2018 – Top 5 Activities For Under-5s
A couple of weeks ago we packed our bags for a mid-week break in Skipton with Gorgeous Cottages – you can find out what we got up to here. We only had four full days to cram everything in, so before we set off I spent hours researching things to do with young children – […]
Travel: 5 Things That Are Awful At Home But Awesome On Holiday
We had a little family mini-break to Yorkshire last week through a company called Gorgeous Cottages, and I noticed something while we were there.
