Kids’ currency

Posted on August 27, 2013 by Dubai Mum

Post summer holiday exercise

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Dubai Mum

Summer holidays

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Dubai Mum

It’s funny how from January of each new year the countdown to summer unwittingly begins.  Summer is a relief from the daily grind.  No more school runs.  No more rushing out the door at 7ish each morning.  No more after … Continue reading →
