8.26am Tuesday morning sat on the sofa just me & Teddy. No children around means 1 thing – school is back in session!! 12 weeks in the Florida heat is rough. This was our 4th summer break since moving stateside and it doesn’t get any easier. This summer will be remembered for the bickering 🤣Continue reading “Back to School 2019”

England
Our 3 week England trip began 16th December 2018. We were travelling back to the UK to renew our current immigration visas. The kids schools longest break is the summer and by then the visas would have expired, so the Christmas break was the next best time to go, even though we were fully expectingContinue reading “England”
US school vs UK school
I’ve been an American school mum for almost as long as an English school mum. 3 years in England and 2 in Florida. The schools are so different! The kids however, are equally happy in either. When we were offered a transfer to Jacksonville we didn’t initially say yes. We needed to consider how aContinue reading “US school vs UK school”

Families from across the globe with a child that has Jordans Syndrome, the same as Poppy, will be attending. We all get to meet each other which I feel is so important in many ways.

Why I always say yes!
Look at those smiling faces! That’s why I always say yes!! This weeks request was tie dye. Not something we’ve done before but apparently you tube makes it look very easy and lots of fun. We all know I’m not a fan of mess and throw a sensory child into the mix and we’ve oftenContinue reading “Why I always say yes!”
Poppy
I’ve had a bad day with Poppy today. A sentence I’ve been using for the last few weeks, months, years. Through the newborn feeding, the toddler tantrums and still now at 9 years old. I mentioned when I introduced our kids that I would write about Poppy and today feels like the right day. PoppyContinue reading “Poppy”
