You tend to find a niche in this blogging business which your blog revolves around. Ten years ago I accidentally started a mummy blog, over the years this was the niche where my blog slotted in. After some time had…
Though a tad bit misleading considering Dylan isn’t getting an education at all, the only access our boy has to his legal rights of education is the one I am providing him as his unqualified home tutor. Now I know…
We have got so used to flying with English speaking airports from Ireland to the UK and back again recently that I was slightly nervous at the prospect of booking special assistance in another country. But language wasn’t a barrier when…
My son, Sam is 7 and a half now. He was officially diagnosed with “Low functioning Autism” in 2014, but we noticed he wasn’t hitting his milestones when he was 18 months old. He had his first paediatrician appointment 6…
