In just a few days Miss Gracie and her friends will be running back to school. Time to get organised, iron the uniform and start getting to bed earlier!

We have a little secret we would like to share with you. Our holiday home is a chicken coop! Luckily the chickens moved out long ago and now it is a comfortable holiday home in the Tuscan countryside. Beautiful views, a pool to keep the kids entertained and acres of olive groves. Tempted? Email Lucy via www.villaluciaoftuscany.com and tell her you are a friend of Miss Gracie.

Quick! Before she grows up dress her in these gorgeous Liberty print dresses from Peak Princess. Beautifully made, oh so pretty yet so practical they can be worn everyday. I love that they offer something equally nice for the boys and who could resist adding a Liberty print bunny or teddy to their order?
