The National Trust launches ‘Nature Misses you’
There are still three weeks left of the Summer holidays for most of us, and if now is the time when ideas to keep the kids occupied are starting to run dry, then it is the perfect opportunity to take a look at the ideas that the National Trust has for getting children outside and enjoying the fresh air, the environment and nature. The National Trust has, this summer, launched a new initiative called ‘Nature Misses you’. They have researched the activities that different generations partake in, for leisure and family time, and the research has shown, that with each passing generation, we are spending less time outdoors.

The Top Baby Clothing Designers
Most parents would do anything for their babies. That often includes dressing them in the nicest, fanciest clothes they can afford. However, there’s not that many good lists dedicated to these things, so we’ve sought out the top designers of baby clothing from around the world, including budget-friendly options and extravagant picks for the big spenders. Be warned, lots of small clothing coming up… Bam Bam Dutch brand Bam Bam aren’t easy to find in the UK (you can find them in the House of Rokoko baby gifts range or at Alexa & Alexa) but theirs is one of the cutest collections around, thanks to their obsession with ducks and…

Celebrating Left Handers Day
Next week, on the 13th August, people all across the Country taking part in National Left Handers Day, a celebration of being left handed, but also a recognition of some of the difficulties that left handed people face every single day. These days, we dismiss the chosen hand as merely a quirk of nature, something in our brains that makes the choice. But in the past being a left hander was thought to be somewhat ‘sinister’ (just check out the Italian word for left), and these days left handers still face lots of difficulties living in a right-handed world. As an ex-teacher, I always made sure I had left handed…

Moshi Monsters Weekend at The Sea Life Centre
One of my family’s favourite, all-weather attractions to visit in Birmingham is the National Sea Life Centre in Brindley Place. Home to all manner of deep-sea creatures, from Sharks to Stingrays, and all sorts of truly beautiful and unusual fish, the Sea Life Centre is the ideal place to add to your Summer Holiday must visit list, offering education and a whole lot of fun. This Summer the attraction is even more exciting due to the arrival of the Moshi Monsters. Katsuma, Poppet and Monstro City’s number one Moshling conservationist, Buster Bumblechops, are on a mission to save the amazing marine creatures that are housed in the Sea Life Centre,…

Thank you teacher from Guylian
With the end of the school year almost upon us, it is time to say a big thank you to the teachers that have looked after our little ones during their school day. For most of us, this means choosing a special gift on behalf of our child, but as they get a little older and more independent, children often want to choose and buy a present with their own money. With that in mind, the World’s foremost Belgian Chocolatiers, Guylian, (those of the gorgeous praline seashells) have launched a special campaign called ‘Thank you teacher’. Their chocolates are a perfect gift for showing your appreciation of a special teacher,…
