Looking for Childcare after Coronavirus #AD

10 July, 2020 by Emma MacDonald 1 Comment

happy children

Looking for childcare was a complex enough subject before Covid-19 but now, amidst social distancing and a gradually easing lockdown, childcare options are vastly complicated. There are however, tools available to make it easier. My son used to go to a nursery and switched almost a year ago to a pre-school, for a number of […]

Toddler toilet training whilst on holiday!

18 January, 2020 by Emma MacDonald Leave a Comment

To illustrate an article about toddler toilet training, this photo depicts a 3 year old boy proudly holding up two new pairs of pants.

I’ve always had a laid back approach to potty training my children, but even I wouldn’t plan toddler toilet training whilst on holiday… … Sometimes, however, despite our best intentions, our tiny tearaways have their own ideas! Yes… Baby Bear decided that right at the start of our camping trip, last summer, was the perfect […]

Helping your children to save for their future #Collab

14 January, 2020 by Emma MacDonald Leave a Comment

There are so many important lessons your children need to learn. So, it is not really surprising that some of them get pushed down the list. Often, one of them is teaching your children about money, in particular, how to save and prepare for their long-term future. So, today, I thought I would share with […]

A letter to my Baby Bear on his 3rd Birthday!

18 July, 2019 by Emma MacDonald 1 Comment

So I’m a few weeks late posting this, due a technical glitch but, I wrote this on his birthday! My beautiful baby Bear, I can’t believe you are THREE already! How can you be three years old so soon? It’s your 3rd birthday but it feels like such a short time ago that I woke […]

I just realised my photo from the top of "The Moun I just realised my photo from the top of "The Mount" never posted! My insta looks jumbled 😂 So here's the photo I took from the top of #stmichaelsmount back in October at my beautiful friend's wedding. It was both breezy and breathtaking. I don't drink very often, but I made an exception that day and had a glass of two of prosecco to toast the happy couple.

St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The wedding venue St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The wedding venue of my beautiful school friend Harriet and her new husband John. Very unique, quite a climb to the top, especially when the gatekeeper tells you you need to run (I didn't need to run). I made it over the causeway and into the chapel at the top in just 10 minutes, but my legs were like jelly and I couldn't breathe once I got there. Thankfully I had a good 35 mins to recover before the bride arrived. Stunning location and well worth a visit if you're near Penzance end of Cornwall. You can only cross to the mount when the tide is out and must be back on the mainland before the tide comes in, so check tide times before you visit!

Mike and I are having a weekend away in Cornwall. Mike and I are having a weekend away in Cornwall. Our first time away without the children in over 2 years. We are here for my beautiful school friends wedding, which is around a 30 minute drive away. This is the view from the doorstep of our hotel at Mullion Cove. I do love being near the sea, it relaxes me and resets me.

I wish we had a view like this from our room, but sadly, despite paying £285 for our room, we've only got a view of power cables, kitchen and the bin stores 🙈

We watched #Texas #McFly #BeverleyKnight #Lulu #TheFratellis I wish we could have stayed longer but I think next year we will camp and do the whole weekend. Its such a fab family friendly festival.

Bear loved playing with the bubbles in the entrance and was given some of his own to play with. We have been on some funfair rides, had some lunch and are now sat waiting for the Everything Show to start out on the main track. Hoping to see some donuts, pops and bangs!

We are away camping in Dorset (the county where I We are away camping in Dorset (the county where I grew up). We arrived Wednesday, set up the tent, went shopping, had dinner and went to bed. Yesterday was a day out in Bournemouth. Bournemouth is one of my favourite beaches in the UK. I love how clean it is, how soft the sand is, how clear the sea is, and the fact you can stroll through the stunning gardens if you need a bit of shade.

Yesterday was the first time in about 2 years that we've been anywhere this busy, so it was a bit worrying and we did pop our face masks on in the crowded places and all the shops. With the exception of the masks and a little anxiety (I found myself holding my breath every time I walked past someone), it was like life pre-pandemic.

When we went for a swim in the sea, my 9 year old daughter (affectionately nicknamed Fluffy) threw her hands up in the air and declared, "THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!".

This is what our children have been missing. This is what I've been missing. I stood in the sea taking lungfuls of sea air, jumping the waves and watching the delighted look on her face. It definitely was one of the best feelings ever.
