Happy Autism Awareness Day
Howdy peeps! If you've ever heard me talk about my work, you'll know I love working with children on the autistic spectrum. They are always the most passionate and funny and strong-willed and the ones who always speak their minds... I love that and wish more people would be like that! There are a lot [...]
Happy Leavers Day!
Howdy Peeps! Weird times indeed. It is school leavers day for many yr2 and yr 6 pupils....and ALL GCSE and A-Level teens! There are no proms or leavers books, many friends already not in school, but it is still a special day and the start of their next chapter. My daughter will not go to [...]

Planner theme of the Week
Howdy Peeps! It's my baby girl's birthday this week! She's not huge on parties but she is quintessentially British and loves a good cuppa and a homemade cake... thus I produced this planner theme: Sweet, subtle and very 'traditionally British' sounds like my little grown up! I don't know how any of us got old [...]

My Baby Is All Grown Up!
Morning Peeps! Anyone out there with exam kids? I took my baby girl to her college open day yesterday! We're in the midst of mock exams, college applications and real-world changes. The college was great by the way, definitely has the courses she wants/needs. She received her NI number in the post this morning (for [...]
When Did I Get This Old?
Morning Peeps! 👋 I was having a lovely chat with the teenager this morning when I realised that these 'normal' conversations mean I'm really old! (Okay, I'm not because I was young when I had her, but I feel very old!) Our daily conversation involves her college application/university choices, course she'll be doing this time [...]
