Monday again? So soon? – Over the weekend the kids met their favourite Nick Jr characters in Nickelodeon Land at the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool. Little Sis had her photo taken with Poppy Cat and my 5 year old met the Ninja Turtles. Both were very very happy. This is my favourite photo from our…

I can’t believe that two weeks of school holidays are over so quickly. The holidays kept us busy and we created some really fun memories. The weather has been amazing so we’ve spent a lot of time sorting out the garden. We’ve had a few trips to the local garden centre and put in some…

I’m so late with my weekly Monday happy things post.

My list of things making me happy is quite shallow this week – – Last week I went to the Hobbycraft press show (on my own!). It’s not often that the children are both looked after and I’m invited to something I want to go to but it all worked out for once. I picked…
