Mum insight – how is the way we shop changing?

My week kicked off with a quick dash around my local Morrisons store (mum insight – mums jam in food shopping when they can, so for me it’s just after I’ve done the school run). This store is having a bit of an upgrade at the moment and as I walked around, I noticed they … Continued

World Book Day

Down the rabbit hole we go… Today is World Book Day. It’s a great way to celebrate and share the joy of reading.

iPad, more than just games?

Instead of letting the children use our work laptops (and risk my cries as they delete years of work files) we decided on an iPad, complete with covers (back and front) and insurance! I was keen to give Mia (5) access to technology but I wasn’t … Continued
