Everyone loves sausages right? They are one of the few things I can guarantee that Toby and Gabe will eat!

OK, OK, I know we’re almost a third of the way through May already (and I’m always late with these posts) but I’ve only just got round to writing this post about my likes and loves from April.

Well after last weekend when we didn’t have the best of times this last week has been much calmer. Gabe went into preschool without any tears all week and Toby had a happy week at school too. Both boys had good swimming lessons too so it’s been a much better week all round really. Read more
