Autumn. My favourite season. Time for snuggly jumpers, scarves, boots, log fires, and hot chocolates with marshmallows. I didn’t have that, but on Monday we did sample the new autumn menu from Brewer’s Fayre. We were lucky enough to be invited to Cheswold Lodge in Doncaster to do so. I didn’t know that there was also a play centre there so we ended up eating in there, but it was worth the £3 each (for 1.5 hours of play time) to keep the boys amused between courses! It was quiet in the main restaurant area when we arrived at 4.30pm …

Review – The Gro Company Gro Clock
If you have been with us since the beginning of the baby years, then you may know that we have always had trouble with J & sleep. N seems to be a bit better but we would like to nip it in the bud before he gets to J’s age and is still having sleep and bed time issues which is a nightmare to deal with every night with one child, let alone two. Both boys tend to usually get up between 6am & 7am though sometimes it is much earlier. We all know that an early day equals grumpy …
Moving on & new beginnings
Other than a random three or four posts over the last couple of weeks, you may or may not have noticed that I have been a bit AWOL from blogging (again – that’s twice this year!). The reason being – we moved house, and it has been a completely different lifestyle change for us.

Slimming World weigh in #35 – the one where my butt gets kicked
You may I have noticed I have been absent from blog weigh ins again for the last few weeks. There are reasons for this which I will update on in another blog post soon, but now I am finally getting back into the swing of things – blog wise anyway – I thought I better post my latest one! The last few weeks have been difficult in all honesty, with some big life changes happening and I have not been totally on plan. We’ve had meals out, takeaways, and I’ve been snacking on biscuits and chocolates. I have really tried …
Review – Thomas & Friends My First Rail Rollers Spiral Station
Both boys are at that age now where they are starting to share – and argue – over toys; though they have plenty to be going along with they always want what the other has, of course! N has only just really started showing an interest in cartoon characters and will play with anything, though he is really into J’s old toys now rather than his baby ones – well I suppose he is a fully fledged toddler now rather than a baby! He was recently asked to review this brilliant toddler toy, perfect for newly instated toddlers! It is part …
