Who doesn't love a Fairy Tale with a happy ending? Throw in a Prince, gorgeous costumes and settings and you have a winner! A night out watching the new Cinderella movie certainly delivered!

Do you see what I see….?

Ok, so the lyrics of a Christmas Carol have inspired me! It's funny what songs you find yourself singing at random times! But it's a good question! Although don't worry the answer isn't taking me down a Christmas inspired route with tinsel and bells, but rather to the mirror. What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do… Continue reading Do you see what I see….?

Look at me!

Being the summer holidays we've been having a lot fun and amongst other summer activities we have explored a lot of different playgrounds. No matter the playground though, it is only a matter of time before my 3 year old is calling out to me to "Mummy, look at me!

Do you see what I see?

Things to children are never what they are to us. They see the world differently. That's certainly the case with my boys. Driving along the waterfront, to my 6 year old,  it's not Rangitoto Island we're viewing, it's Tracy Island, home to the Thunderbirds. It's not just a plain cardboard box, it's a briefcase for a super hero costume… Continue reading Do you see what I see?
