I wanted to make sure that this time around, with my four-year-old son, we would hopefully create some new lasting memories. I have heard people ask how true […]
“If travelling was free, you’d never see me again.” Most people love the idea of toting around the world, exploring new places, finding breathtaking views and simply finding themselves while looking at what the earth has to offer.

To my darling son It’s here. It’s arrived, the day I’ve been dreading since the day you were born. Today is your first day of ‘proper’ school. I barely slept last night, heck I’ve barely slept in weeks. Will you settle? Do you understand that you’re there to learn as well as play? Do you […]
