We're parents to two amazing boys, Charlie who is 14 and Louie who is 5, they're both such characters, make us laugh daily, and love sports. We always hoped that we would have children closer in age but it wasn't to be, despite the 9 year age gap they are so close and each others best mates (most of the time.) Don't get me wrong, it's also very challenging, as parenting often is. In our blog we'll share the highs, the lows and the funny times we have.
We've just booked our third annual visit to Quarry Walk Park in Staffordshire! For the last two years, this hidden gem has been our go-to for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and we can't wait to return. This year, we've booked with more friends and all the kids for what promises to be a fantastic group getaway.
My work recently took our whole company to enjoy an afternoon of team bonding and fun at Wildshore in Delamere. It's located among the woodlands and offers a brilliant escape for team building with a wide array of water activities available on the lake. We started the afternoon with some introductions and team photos and then those going into the water went off to get their wet suits on.
This January, the Parr Hall in Warrington hosts a dazzling production of Cinderella. This evening was the the press event so me and Louie went along to see his first pantomime along with my friend and god-daughters. It was a truly enchanting experience for all ages, from the glittering costumes to the hilarious antics of the Ugly Sisters, this pantomime has all the ingredients for a perfect fun family evening.
Christmas is a time for magic, family, and creating unforgettable memories. Each year we spend Christmas morning, just the 4 of us and the living room transforms into a festive explosion of wrapping paper. As the boys tear into their gifts, the air is filled with happy squeals, shouts of surprise and precious moments. Once the initial flurry of present opening subsides and a mountain of discarded wrapping paper lies scattered around us, we tidy up and prepare for the next wave of Christmas cheer. Our families then begin to arrive, bringing with them more gifts to share.
Is it old-fashioned to believe that children should help around the house? Some might argue, but the truth is, teaching children responsibility through household tasks is a foundation for raising independent, well-rounded individuals, as it helps them develop essential life skills and a strong work ethic.
