by RachelSwirl May 7, 2020

For most children, a pet is their first true taste of responsibility. They are in charge of another living thing and they have to be vigilant and consistent in their care. It’s a great life lesson for children and it’s best to have them learn it, very early on. When they are 5 or 6, ask them what kind of pet they would like?

Like the rest of the UK, we are currently in lockdown and having been isolated for almost a fortnight now, cabin fever is beginning to set in. The kids have kept themselves busy with homeschooling activities, baking, painting, drawing, board games, movies and of course their beloved technology, which for once I’m quite thankful for.

Double The Dobble Fun With Dobble Animals Edition

by RachelSwirl March 30, 2018

Being a Mum that likes to be prepared, I tend to keep a few things hidden in my handbag which will keep the kids happy or at least ‘entertained’ whilst out and about. Whilst I’d love to carry a clutch bag, over time I’ve come to accept that since having kids that will never be the case. There would simply not be the room for the wipes, games, figures and fidget spinners that I find myself carrying around, never mind my phone, vape, makeup, comb or wallet!
