We’ve been getting Storytime for a few months and the girls love it. Each issue is packed with stories, poems, myths, and so on. The design is fanciful and colourful, with gorgeous illustrations and fun fonts – really appealing for kids.
I have been reading #LittleLoves posts on a few blogs for a while now and have really enjoyed them, as they give a little glimpse into what is going on in the everyday lives of bloggers. I decided I would try to join in most weeks and as I was horribly ill yesterday I’m going …
Nobody wants to read anything too serious when summertime rolls around, do they? I know I certainly don’t. Not that my reading is usually so very high brow, of course, but when the sun is shining and I’m lazing in the park with a book as the girls play, I just want some happy fluffy fiction …
Georgie and Lydia have a lot of books, all over the house. We have bedtime story books, board books, and stacks of downstairs books that they read with me & James, or by themselves. Ever since we got You Choose, by Pippa Goodhart & Nick Sharrat, it has been her firm favourite. I think I …
