Having been fans of The Gro Company since Zach was a small baby, I jumped at the chance of reviewing one of their Gro Clocks. I’ve heard all about them and a friend of mine had recently posted on Facebook about how wonderful they are. Zach was also going through a stage of waking up […]
Stick Man oh Stick Man beware of the… If your child is anything like mine, you have read this book a million times over. It is one of Zach’s favorite Julia Donaldson books and it’s one of my favourites too – I absolutely love reading it to him. If you don’t know the story, Stick […]
Well this weekend was always going to fly by – even without storm Ciara strutting her stuff! Saturday morning started out with swimming for the boys. I took them up there while the other half went and got his hair cut, and they had the most fabulous lesson. Oscar had a great time splashing around […]
AD – Gifted In the weeks after we got Buster, I was continuously asked what breed he is. Of course, being a mixed breed rescue dog from Bulgaria, we had absolutely no idea what was in him. People had all the opinions. From terrier crossed with lab, to my own suspicion of a bit of […]
AD – This is a collaborative post Well, less that five months now! 150 days in fact! I can’t believe it! I have been pretty laid back to be fair. You could say I was almost horizontal about the whole thing. But that is the problem with having over two years to organise something. All […]
Oscar tried to get me up at 5.30am but I had a way out of that – the revelation that if he got up that early, there was no way he would be able to survive the afternoon soft play trip that we had planned! So he fell back to sleep until 7.10am – result! […]
I would normally be publishing my weekend happy today, but you know what? We had a really bloody boring weekend! The kids had all their classes, I got my hair cut, the dog had a training session, the other half went out to the snooker, and my Sister and Nephew popped round for a cuppa. […]
I wrote a post four years ago about when Zach was at the threenager stage. And I read that post over just now to refresh my memory and literally rolled my eyes at how tame it was. Because Oscar is taking being a threenager to a whole other level! Of course there are parts of […]
Well it started out pretty awful! I had spent the whole night with a belly ache and then Oscar woke up at 4.30am and wanted to go downstairs. And he really meant it. So I found myself downstairs with him at that appalling time, still with a stomach ache. The other half also came down […]
Our final weekend of the Christmas holidays and Oscar had us up early! I was hoping to sneak off to bed for a while but it didn’t happen because Oscar required my presence. I guess in a way it did us a favour because it meant we were up and ready nice and early. Zach […]
We have had Buster in our lives for almost three months now – and it already feels like he has always been here. I knew having a dog was never going to be easy – especially as a puppy. And the reality is, owning a dog comes with a bunch of things that I probably […]
Well I usually write a weekend happy post on a Monday, but as we have had both boys poorly over the weekend, there actually hasn’t been much to talk about other than dog walks and taking the decs down! So I thought instead, I would do a Christmas happy round up of the few days […]
What. A. Day. It started at 5.30am with a rude awakening from both the dog and Oscar. Off I went downstairs and attempted to chill out until it was a reasonable time. Eventually Zach came down, I sorted out their brekkie and then jumped in the shower before going to get the other half up. […]
The kids actually slept in a bit. It was starting to get light outside when Zach woke up, and then Oscar carried on sleeping until 7am. What a treat! Both boys have had a bit of a cold the last week, so I asked Zach if he wanted to go swimming or not and he […]
