My gorgeous Mr 6 came home this afternoon from school talking about ‘needs’ and ‘wants’. All the way home we spoke about the things we need in life (like food, water, shelter) and those we want (like special treats and a PS3!).

Last night I read Mr 6 a great book he’d received for his birthday – “Too Many Toys” by David Shannon. Hubby had already read it before but this was my first read. What an amazing story!! I need to give a copy of this book to every Mum I know!! The story is about [...]
