…is one of my favourite things to do. There’s nothing like sitting somewhere nice in the sunshine, with a cool drink and an engaging book, is there? Luckily for me, the girls have decided that they like to do that too. Here they are relaxing in the garden with their books: I must find some … Continue reading »
Last month we took the girls to their first proper concert – the Lumineers at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion in The Woodlands, just North of Houston. The venue is a great place to take children as it is outdoors, so not too loud, with a big grassy lawn for running around on but the … Continue reading »
We’ve just got back from a weekend staying in San Antonio so that we could visit Sea World. We had wanted to go for the Little One’s 4th birthday in November but it’s closed during the Winter (people here think that November is a cold month… obviously not for us!) We all had a fantastic … Continue reading »

He’s watching a golf competition today and playing the same course tomorrow as part of a work jolly networking event. Thankfully the Little One came in for a cuddle at 6.30am or else he would have … Continue reading »
There was great excitement when I picked up the Big One from school yesterday as she had finally lost her first baby tooth. It became wobbly at the end of November, so it’s been a very long time coming! For once, both girls were keen to get in to bed early and kept asking if … Continue reading »
No words needed for this, just watch…
We were supposed to go camping a month ago but it was cold (and forecast to get colder) and very windy, so we decided that camping with 4 small children (we were going with friends, we haven’t had 2 extra children without telling you!) in near freezing temperatures would not be sensible. Even if the … Continue reading »
The girls love sewing but it’s quite tricky to find little projects for them to do which don’t take an endless amount of time, patience (both mine and theirs!) and supervision. I’d seen something on Pinterest showing how to make fabric bookmarks a few weeks back and thought it had potential, so we decided to … Continue reading »
