It's been an unusual mild December, compared to our previous years in the capital. With 12 degrees plus, flowers blooming and birds singing it's very little that's reminded us of December. We hope January will bring us some minus degrees, lots of twirling magical snowflakes and a bit of winter joy. Until then... Little A doesn't necessarily choose the simplest routes when out & about. Snug and...

Read moreTime4You -the Little Scandinavian way
What do you do when it's time for you? Time out and time away from being a mum. Time for you and your partner to have some careless, relaxing and good quality time!

We are planning to wake our Birthday girl up with song, cake and presents, followed by a nice family breakfast. The day is still fairly open, but exploring London together and enjoying Half Term is definitely on. Then a nice meal out in London City. Any recommendations are more than welcome, but Little...

A horse riding birthday party
Little A was invited to a horse riding 7th Birthday party this weekend. We've had one too, when Little B turned 7 a few years back.

Here's a few pictures of Little A enjoying her friends party. © Little...

Helena: I’m a Swedish mother who started Wildflowers Kindergartens six years ago in 2005. The pre-school is located in mid-Hampshire, between Winchester and Petersfield.

Read moreNo school run?
Back to school, and back to the school run. Or is it? One interesting read this week was the internet site by Living Street People and their campaign Walk to School, a national campaign launched in 1995 to encourage children to walk to school. They now have over 6,400 schools and 1.6 million children taking part. What I found particular interesting was the organisation's Living Streets position...
