It seems like ages since I wrote my February Likes and Loves post, even though it was only four weeks ago. After just five weeks back at school after half term, Toby broke up again for the Easter holidays! We haven’t done an awful lot during March but I’ve still got a few things to share for my #LittleLoves this month.
And so we’re half way through the Easter holidays and it’s April already. We went away for a few days last week and although the weather wasn’t brilliant we seemed to avoid the worst of it. We stayed in a cottage in Yorkshire for three nights and did plenty of exploring while we were away. Read more
So, another month gone and we are now a quarter of the way through the year! March was a fairly quiet month for the most part. After a speedy recovery from his broken foot Gabe had his plaster cast taken off at the very beginning of the month (and was back to jumping off the sofa again within a few hours!) Read more

At the beginning of the year I wrote a post all about my goals and plans for 2018. I came up with 18 things that I wanted to do or achieve this year, and one of them was to have afternoon tea. A lot of people who read the post seemed amazed that I had got to the age of 39 and never had afternoon tea. What is perhaps even more surprising is that my mum had managed to get to 75 and never had afternoon tea either! So we decided it was time we did something about it! Read more
We have made it to the Easter holidays, thank goodness! Toby has been so tired and emotional the last week that I’m really hoping that a couple of weeks off school will give him chance to rest and recover. Both the boys are full of a cold at the moment too, which I’m sure is just a side effect of their tiredness. Read more

Preparing a bedroom for a child really is an enchanting experience. Choosing the bedclothes, light fittings and of course, the toys are the things that dreams are made of. There are, however, as with any other project, some practical considerations, particularly if you are working to a budget and so here we explore kid’s rooms and how to make them last a childhood.

If you’re a regular reader then you may know that Gabe managed to break a bone in his foot by jumping off the sofa a couple of weeks ago. After a bedtime trip to A & E he ended up in a plaster cast to below his knee. We were actually really lucky that it healed quickly and he only had the cast on for 11 days but I thought I’d share a few tips for coping with a toddler in a plaster cast. Read more

I know lots of families are always putting off upgrading and replacing the large items of furniture in their home. We really currently have one sofa that is nearly 15 years old and really needs to be replaced, and another that is almost 40 years old and used to belong to my mum and dad! Read more
