I may have mentioned before but on a Tuesday we go to a play group involving soft play and sensory activities. The group is funded by the local community centre and at the end of the block of sessions, if there are enough funds available, then we get to go on a trip. At the end of last year’s sessions at Christmas we had a country park and Father Christmas visit; this time we were lucky enough to get a trip to Rand Farm Park. I’ve wanted to take the boys for ages but we’ve just never got around to it so …

Little man N at 1 year 1 month old
I am rather late with posting this update – over three weeks in fact – but better late than never, hey?! (I’m sure I’ve said that before…). So it seems N is on that precipice between baby and toddler, which I have named the boddler stage (well actually Sarah at Let Them Be Small suggested the term over on Twitter, and I’ve stolen it, I think it’s great!).

Slimming World weigh in #13 – the first maintain…
I mentioned on my last weigh in that my head hadn’t been fully in the game hence my 0.5lb gain over Easter, but that I was going to try and get back in it. I was okay for a day up until our latest cake club meeting on the Wednesday, and then I just went slowly downhill from there to be honest.

Family time – Movie & duvet days
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 …
