I surprised the family with tennis racquets for all 4 of us for Christmas. I had tennis lessons for a couple of years in late primary school & one thing my family used to do for fun was take our racquets down to the local primary school on a Sunday afternoon & hit a tennis...

Origami. It’s what the kids do these days. Every generation has it’s crazes. When I was a child we collected erasers & made friendship pins. For kids today it’s been loom bands, mindful colouring & origami.

Now at 4 months she only stays on her back for the shortest time before commencing the inevitable roll onto her belly. It doesn’t matter how many children you’ve watched go through development milestones,...
