Tomorrow my fourteen year old daughter will be heading for the German city of Trier for a school field trip. Even though it's a supposed to be a cultural trip, they'll also be climbing trees or something. Because you know, that's Fun. We even had to sign a scary paper giving our daughter permission to...
My twelve year old son Ot is working hard at school. That has not always been his way. In fact, all parent-teacher conversations went along the line: 'He just doesn't seem to care.' But he has decided he wants to become a Game Designer, and that seems to have lit a fire under him! But...
There are ads I welcome with all my heart. To dash off to the bathroom without missing anything interesting! Having said that, there are some ads that are actually enjoyable. Some of them are even like little pieces of art. Amelia loved the ScS ads Amelia Howarth (10) liked the ads of ScS sofa starring...

Bird house At first...

Fun healthy snacks for kids are important. Or to be more honest: healthy snacks for kids are important. Making them fun is important to me, because it makes it easier to get my kids to eat their fruit and vegetables. An apple a day keeps the doctor away? For years I've been offering my kids...
I love bicycle bags! I need them to get all my libary books back to the library. I also use them for grocery shopping. Bicycle bags are a great way to transport stuff, without having to carry it. As you can see in the picture I also have a bicycle basket. But you can't leave...
