It wasn’t so long ago that I was writing a post about how I didn’t think I was done with having babies. I have always been a broody so and so, and I still am. I coo over little babies, love cuddling them, and I know that if I did experience the whole giving birth […]
This is a special edition weekend happy because the other half took Friday off work so that we could take Zach out for the day. I had booked a trip to see Brainiac Live at the Garrick Theatre months ago and Zach had no idea about it until the day before we were going. Nannie […]
When we were getting ready to head to bed on Friday night, we were talking about what we were going to do on Saturday because other than swimming for Zach, we had no plans. And with the boys being complete pickles at home, I knew we needed to get them out. While I was thinking […]
The other half had been out all day and night on Friday, so I got up with the boys and got them breakfasted and sorted. He had asked me if I could take Oscar swimming with us so he could get ready, so the boys and I went, though we were running pretty late. When […]
The Summer holidays are well and truly here! Are you already worried about how you are going to fill the time? What activities you are going to do? I have just the answer for you, and it is in the form of this bumper packed post! Here are 25 cheap educational Summer holiday activities to […]
The day started in a mad rush to get Zach to swimming because everyone woke up late! I managed to get him there, although Oscar was not happy about me leaving for some reason, and he had a meltdown for poor Daddy. Zach had a great lesson. He did some really great swimming on his […]
It can be so easy to completely down tools in the Summer holidays when it comes to the kids learning. It is their time isn’t it? They don’t need to focus on their reading and their writing and their maths. And it is our time as well. Our time to make the days and weeks […]
The day started pretty early with the boys and whilst it was quite a chaotic start to the day with arguments a plenty between them, it was soon time to go to swimming. Oscar decided that he wanted to come with us but the other half wasn’t ready, so I ended up taking them both […]
I have mentioned recently that I have been struggling to parent my children. Both of them are being nightmares in their own way. Zach is acting like a teenager – not listening, yelling at me, huffing, puffing, slamming doors in anger, and yelling in my face. Then there is Oscar. He doesn’t listen either – […]
When I look around my house, I am pretty horrified by the amount of single use plastic that there is. Plastic bottles in the bathroom and kitchen full of shower gels and cleaning products. Plastic toys in their dozens. Food wrapped in plastic. I mean it’s just everywhere. Over the past couple of months I […]
As we were leaving school on Wednesday, Zach casually informed me that his teacher’s last day is today. That no she wouldn’t be joining them on their trip to the seaside on Monday (to which I am sure she is breathing a sigh of relief), and that no, she also wouldn’t be in next Tuesday, […]
We have just returned from our week’s holiday in Herefordshire, and whilst we didn’t actually have a huge amount of adventures, the boys had so much fun that it would be wrong not to document it with a gazillion photos! The holiday was Friday to Friday and thankfully school had not only authorised it so […]
We were on a bit of a come down this weekend after our lovely week away! The boys were confused as to why we weren’t still on holiday, and the attitude had returned from Zach! Oh yes, we were in for a treat! We did manage to capture a few happy moments though! Saturday 22nd […]
We are off on our hols shortly, and fingers crossed we have a wonderful week. The other half’s Mum and Dad have booked a huge house (it’s more of an estate) in Herefordshire, there are about 14 of us in total, mostly adults and a small bunch of kids, and I’m so pleased to not […]
