8 Sanity Saving School Morning Hacks

Updated on 16th December 2019 by Kate Williams | 4 Comments

It’s only a couple of weeks until we’re back to school and I go into my normal routine of crazy lady yelling ‘shoes!’ every five minutes at my kids and realising that we’ve forgotten to do the homework again. I am not a morning person and I am super forgetful so school mornings are not quite the peaceful relaxed time I’d like them to be! Apparently though other people are way better at this school run business than I am and I’m more than happy to pinch a few of their ideas to calm my mornings down. I’ve hunted all around for the best school morning hacks to make your start to the day a bit calmer and these are my favourite ones that I’ve read!

How to Rock the Eden Project with Kids and Bell Tent Review

Updated on 4th October 2016 by Kate Williams | 5 Comments

This weekend we visited the Eden Project near St Austell.

Summer is a difficult time for holidays. It shouldn’t be, of course, but if you’ve got kids you’ll know that once the school holidays hit everything seems to cost at least 462 times more and is ridiculously crowded. As we’ve recently moved to Cornwall we’ve seen it a lot in our town, the shops suddenly all ran out of holiday essentials (toilet roll and cider) and when it rains (which of course because we’re still in the UK) the car park for soft play is quite unreal. We wanted to go away for a couple of days but we didn’t want to spend a grand or feel like a sardine so after a bit of hunting my husband found South Penquite Farm in Bodmin and now I’m wondering if I should be typing this up or trying to keep it a secret.
