What a difference the great outdoors makes

We decided to play outside today, which we don’t really do in the Winter.  Out we went, toddlers (complete with their Bike ride-ons - will do a separate review on these ride-ons), while the rest of us just played round them. We had so much fun; we connected, we laughed, we played, we ran around (this means I EXERCISED…hehehe).  Additionally, my children made a new friend - a decent looking girl who attends the same school as them. It certainly beat thinking of where to take the children/what to do (usually indoor soft play centres) so I’ll be advocating some good old fashioned fun for children/family: playing outside, going to the park or going for walks.  Certainly better than spending too long watching television or in front of the computer/tablet/phone screens.

Off to bed, this tired mum goes.

P/s, our prayers are with Mikaeel Kular’s family.
