What Happens If Your Child Doesn’t Get Their Preferred School?*
In September Little Miss will be starting school full time. For any parent this is a stressful time, the thought of their baby heading off to school, all dressed in a uniform for over 6 hours a day, I know I’m dreading it already. Last Friday, parents of children about to start school found out whether or not they’d been accepted into their first choice school. I received my email around 6am so it was there waiting for me when I awoke, and thankfully my little girl got into ours. But this wasn’t the case for everyone and I can’t imagine how much heart ache that brought to some families…

Meal Ideas for Under 5s – Lettuce Wraps
Remember that time my 4 year old ate everything I put in front of her? No.. me either. That hasn’t happened since she learnt how to say no! Don’t get me wrong, her diet isn’t all junk food, in fact she eats more fruit a day than I do, she just has what I’d call a limited diet. I call it a limited diet because she likes the same few meals on rotation and is wary about trying anything new. It’s so frustrating for someone like me who wants to experiment in the kitchen.

Today is Disneyland Paris’ birthday! Twenty four years ago today the park opened it’s gates for the first time. Back then it was a single park and went by the name of Euro Disney, to this day my dad still calls it this haha. Despite this park being closest to England, I have never felt it to be my “home” park, but with each visit I feel like I’m falling in love with it a little bit more.

What Little Miss Read & World Book Day 2016
On Thursday it was World Book Day. As a kid, World Book Day was always one of my favourite days of the year because not only could we go to school dressed as our favourite book character (and back then no one went in store bought costumes) but you also got a £1 book token and at that age, that was a lot! And now it’s Little Miss’ turn to take part. In the “baby” room they just have to take their favourite book, but in the bigger room they got to dress up as their favourite character, just like I used to! So, in the back of my mind…
