I never really believed for a second that Scotland could pull this off, so why am I so disappointed? 😒 #FRAvSCO

World Book Day reading for me and my eldest. When they said they wanted to read the Chronicles of Narnia I suggested we skip straight to 🦁🧙‍♀️🚪but they insisted we do them all. I can't wait for this one to be over 🙃

It's PJs at our school tomo for WBD. 4yo says her dinosaur dressing gown isn't acceptable amongst her friends. It would genuinely be less stressful to have to make a last minute character costume 🙃

Absolutely exhausted after that game. Absolutely delicious 🤍🌹😘🤌🏻 I could live off watching Russell fluff his kicks and desperately petition the ref. So sweeeeeeet.

Heather @hedzie.bsky.social · Feb 22

Feast prepped, so I can concentrate on the game without being stuck in the kitchen...come on, England 🌹🤍💪🏻 (our Scotland born 7yo is cheering for the opposition)

There's a group of parents at school trying to rally buy in to an agreement to ban smartphones amongst their kids, but do you know what I think is a better idea? A party bag group ban. I'm only half joking.

What is it about being in the presence of The Bass Rock that is always so magical? I don't know. But it always makes me feel something I struggle to put words to.

Every secondary school in Scotland can now get an edition of Story Deck, our new card game tool for starting conversations about books.

We travelled to Forfar Academy to find out how Story Deck has helped to spark a love of reading in pupils there.

I really loved People Like Stars! ✨️💜 Patrice writes kids you believe in.

Patrice Lawrence @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social · Jan 30

Once more, but with make up.

PEOPLE LIKE STARS, my new middle grade contemporary mystery is out today.

Three young people.
A stolen baby.
A family secret.
A grumpy tattooed woman of a certain age who definitely bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone I know. Or am.

Minecraft handbooks turning screen time into book and screen time. My 7yo now has three in the series and loves independent problem solving, learning new tips and getting design ideas from them.
