Just one more week of school to go before the boys break up for half term and they are so ready for it! Gabe especially is very tired at the moment which comes out as being very emotional about everything.
Read moreI’ve written before about how much Toby and Gabe love science and especially STEM toys like this magnetic construction set from Geomag. In fact we reviewed the Geomag Gravity Track set a few months ago which the boys really enjoyed playing with.

Read moreTen days back at school, both the boys have colds and it feels like they’ve never been away! Actually, apart from the colds it’s been a good week back. Toby and Gabe both seem to have settled in really well to their new classes, and are dealing with all the covid changes without any fuss too.
Read moreWell we finally got there. After nearly 6 months off school, last week Toby and Gabe both went back to school full time. I’m so proud of how well they have coped with all the time at home and everything that has gone on since March but I think it was a relief to all of us when they walked back through their classroom doors on Wednesday.
