It was the boys’ birthday party at the weekend and after my post on alternatives to party bags, I wanted to give the attending children something they might not usually get. Don’t get me wrong, they did get party bags and the contents were all dinosaur related, but I wanted to make a little something that they could keep as a reminder of the party too, which is when I came up with these idea of these cute little salt dough dinosaur fossils!

So when Tiger Prints offered us a choice of t-shirt to review from their website, I was eager to find something that Jacob would love.
I never made weigh-in this week as it was Noah’s birthday, and I never got around to writing last week’s update either, so this is it – we will hopefully be back to normal next week! So last week, I was very, very good all week.

My dear Noah, Happy 2nd birthday, baby boy. Well, you’re not such a baby any more, but rather, well, a proper little boy. You were our rainbow after the storm. You lit up our lives once again; that is, Mummy, Daddy, and your brother of course.
