As with any family, ‘family time’ is really important to us as hubby works long hours, six days a week. Most days, by the time he gets home from work it’s just about tea time and then he only has an hour or so with the boys before bed. This means we only have one day a week where we have him to ourselves, and even then he may have other plans (for example, car repairs anyone?…). So the days we do actually get him all to ourselves we want to have fun! As much as we love to go …
Kids Don’t Come With a Manual | Book review & giveaway (CLOSED)
When I was pregnant with J I never read any ‘parenting’ books – there were just so many on the market and it was a bit overwhelming. I’d had lots of advice from friends, and I knew I had lots to go to for advice once he had arrived.

Friday was okay, then Saturday we were at my Mum’s and we had pulled pork – I was a greedy pig and scoffed three white rolls with it so just that would have taken me …
Egg-celent Easter fun (in lots of photos!)
I posted last week about our Easter plans and what the boys had to find in their Easter basket – we managed to fit everything in and had a really fun Easter and ended up with lots of goodies (I got a pack of Reese’s Easter bunnies which was just fine for me!).
Organix Goodies chunky fruit bars | Review
My boys definitely take after their Mummy & Daddy – they love food and barely ever stop eating. Despite them snacking through the day – usually on fruit – we have a set snack time falling between 10am & 10.30am where they will sit down together and share a small plate of various snacks; it also gives me a chance to get a few jobs done as they rarely fight when they are eating! J often asks for treats (sweets or chocolate!) but I prefer to give them something such as fruit, rice cakes, crackers, bread sticks or small cubes of …
