It is the second-half of the summer holidays and the weather is encouraging us away from activities and into more thoughtful activities. It does feel like we have crammed so much in the first half that we forgot to pay attention to things like the local Library Reading Challenge (we made a trip today), artsContinue reading “Taking a Break”

Big Ideas
How do you feel when the schedule you have put together doesn’t go to plan? Not a great feeling, but being agile is so valuable these days and having the mental resilience to take ownership of it is underestimated. Planning all the activities we want to do this summer with the children has of courseContinue reading “Big Ideas”
