Here’s what you can expect from our essential pack for parents:
The joy and the juggle
Let’s be honest – summer can be both a dream and a bit of a juggling act. On one hand, there’s more time for adventures, picnics and bonding. On the other, there are long days to fill, children to entertain and the creeping anxiety about the next school year. The beauty of this pack is its flexibility. It’s not about doing it all but about picking what works for you. Choose what fits your family’s rhythm and forget the rest – guilt-free.
Keeping the kids entertained
The pack is packed (pun intended) with quick tips and easy ideas to keep little minds and bodies active without breaking the bank. Think art on the pavement, garden treasure hunts, water play with washing up bowls or letting them be bored (yes, you read that right!). Simple, sunny fun that sparks creativity and burns energy.
Caring for you too
Amidst the whirl of snacks, sunscreen and sorting out sibling squabbles, don’t forget yourself. The summer pack gives parents a gentle reminder to prioritise their own wellbeing. Whether it’s five quiet minutes with a cup of tea, a morning stretch in the garden or even just breathing space to focus on YOU, looking after yourself matters too.
Healthy habits that stick
Summer offers the perfect chance to build (or rebuild) healthy routines without the school-run stress. From balanced meals to active play, the pack suggests ways to keep kids feeling good inside and out. It’s all about small, sustainable habits – nothing fancy, just ideas that fit into real family life.
Back to school made easy
August doesn’t have to mean a last-minute panic about pencil cases and packed lunches. The pack includes tips to gently ease your family back into school mode – from reintroducing bedtime routines to talking about feelings around change. It’s like a soft landing after a summer of fun.
Your summer inspiration station
With extra resources and uplifting ideas tucked into every section, this pack really is a summer sanity-saver. So, whether you dip in once or return every week, consider it your companion for a smoother, sunnier season.
Because let’s face it – parents deserve a little support, too.

How to handle parental guilt
27 June 2025Parental guilt, that nagging feeling that you’re not doing enough, not doing it right or somehow falling short is something most parents experience at some point. In a world full of social media highlight reels, parenting blogs and well-meaning advice from all directions, it’s no wonder so many parents feel pressure to ‘do it all.’ But the truth is: you don’t need to be perfect to be a great parent. -
The importance of play
13 June 2025It’s easy to overlook the simple but vital role of play in a child’s development. Play is far more than just entertainment, it’s how children explore the world, develop key skills, and build emotional resilience. Whether it’s a game of hide-and-seek, imaginative storytelling or building a fort out of cushions, play is the foundation of learning and growth.
