February Half Term Lockdown Activities
Lockdown and home schooling has been difficult for adults and children alike, so why not bring some fun and enjoyment to February half term. Although your little ones may be bored of staying at home by now, there are still a few things to look forward to and plenty of ways to make it enjoyable for your children!

Whilst some mums seem to defy the laws of nature by becoming amazing earth mothers, domestic goddesses, and career high-fliers, the reality is that this can only be achieved with help. That might be a family member, paid childcare, or by paying for help with another area of life such as a cleaner. In reality, we all have limits and the only real way to be a successful working mum is, to be honest with yourself about your limits. Don’t get disheartened, the ones who look like they have everything in hand, they won’t be doing it alone.
