As the saying goes, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes." Well that is the saying that I go by. Little man seems to think that shorts are the perfect choice for any weather. I swear this boy has a built in heater or something. I do my usual mother thing and say that he needs a coat and usually end up carrying it around myself.

Whether it's rain or shine, I have come to learn that it is best for us all to get outside in the school holidays. There are just so many reasons for this. For a start there are no screens outside, just fresh air and nature. With most of us not getting enough vitamin D through the colder months, department of health experts are recommending taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of Vitamin D.


With that in mind Bassetts have sent us their 3-6 years Multivitamins + Vitamin D & Calcium to give us a helping hand this winter. Little man was very excited as they were specially for him. The older two? Well they have asked me to buy the next level up. The vitamins cost £5.50 for a pack of 30 pastilles. Little man sees them as a treat as they are peach and apricot flavour. This means he reminds me he needs to take one a day.

So with Vitamin D ticked off our list thanks to Bassetts, we can focus on family fun and make the most of what the season has to offer.

With that in mind, we have been exploring the woods. Middle man has finally learnt to ride his bike and now he has got it, that is all he wants to do!


Little man has been set the challenge of gathering natural items for his homework, and a bit of leaf throwing had to be included!


We have also made the most of the season with a scarecrow hunt too.
