It’s that time of year again — the six-week holidays are upon us and Camp Mum is back!
☀️This summer feels especially precious, with Mr11 heading off to secondary school in September. We’re weaving in some activities to help support his transition, but when it came to choosing a theme, I was completely stuck…Until the kids came to the rescue with a brilliant idea: Time Travel!
