Me & Mine // A Family Portrait (August 2019)
August was a month of two halves for us – two weeks at home and then almost two weeks on holiday in France. I did my best to keep the boys occupied in the first half of the month with various activities but if I’m honest we were all just counting down until it was time to go away.

I’m going to cheat a little bit with this post and use some more pictures from our holiday. We really haven’t done anything since we got back, except lots of washing and unpacking! The boys have been making the most of a last few days at home before school starts tomorrow.

I’m back again with another late Living Arrows post – I promise I’ll get back on track next week! We got back from our holiday late on Wednesday night, and I spent most of yesterday unpacking and getting all the washing done, so I’m only just getting around to writing this post.

We have survived another week of the summer holidays! If I listed all the things we have been doing it would probably sound like we’ve been having a lovely time, and there have been some fun times but I’d be lying if I didn’t also tell you there there has been a lot of squabbling and quite a lot of shouting (mostly from me) too!

Me & Mine // A Family Portrait (July 2019)
I’m a bit late with my Me & Mine post for July (so what’s new?) – mostly because once again I wasn’t organised enough to get any family pictures during the month so we ended up having an impromptu photo shoot in the garden yesterday instead! Read more
The tools that will help your kids in school
**Collaborative Post
Getting your kids motivated about school is either going to be something that’s totally effortless, or something you have to battle with every single day. Some children are just geared up to love education, and right from the moment they enter big school, they dive right into learning, and soak it all in. But there will be some of you that are really struggling to get your kids motivated about school. They would rather be playing with their friends, watching TV, or just playing with their toys.
