It's official my little man is a big pre-school boy. I have been preparing myself for this moment for a few weeks now, yet when his first day rolled around, nothing actually prepared me for how I felt. It was a bittersweet moment. Whilst I am thrilled he is loving it so much and thriving at the new challenges he is facing, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness. I have been put off sending him to pre-school / or kindy until he was three as I loved having him at home, … [Read more...]

Relax with Float Culture
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to try out a Float Experience at Float Culture in Grafton.
