So technically it was not his first day ever at school, that first day was a couple of years ago back when we lived in England, and he had moved up from the nursery to reception class at the local SEN…
DID YOU HEAR THAT? HE’S GOING TO SCHOOL! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY! This is even more exciting than the fact we’re going to Disney World! To catch you up on what has happened since I posted ‘He’s Not Getting The Education He Deserves‘…
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…
