The new school year is about to start! We’ve got our lunch boxes, uniforms and school shoes organised but how do we make sure our little ones are relaxed and excited?

We thought we’d ask our friend Genevieve Muir from Connected Parenting about what to expect and how to prepare your little one for their new school journey. 

This week in nails and fails - in anticipation of the girls starting big school Tegan reflects on nailing the preschool graduation. Meanwhile Leigh stays up with Alexander all night, but not in a fun way.
