Welcome to Our Family Adventure Journal!

Hello there! I’m Lavania, a single mom and teacher, navigating the delightful chaos of life with my whirlwind six-year-old, Arlo. Our home base is in vibrant Birmingham (UK), where our adventures unfold.

What You’ll Find Here:

Our blog is a blend of everything that fills our days – from exploring the gems of Birmingham to unleashing our creativity in arts and crafts projects at home. Join us for play ideas, candid toy reviews, glimpses into our family-friendly recipes, updates on home renovation projects, holiday diaries, and the occasional reflective post.
