Last week was the last week of school for us and apart from a school disco for Toby it was a quiet one as usual. This weekend though was a little bit different. For the second time ever we left the boys overnight with my mum and dad and went away. Read more
It’s been a bit of a strange week here – I went to a funeral in Leeds on Wednesday, which meant swapping Gabe’s days at nursery and it’s made me feel a bit topsy-turvy all week. The boys both seem really tired at the moment too, I think we’re definitely ready for half-term next week! Read more
We have finally made it to February after what seemed like the longest month ever! We are all still a bit ill but after hibernating for most of January we really needed to get out somewhere this weekend. It was actually lovely and sunny on Saturday but still very cold so we decided to go and play crazy golf.
I’m late again with my Me & Mine post – and I have to admit that I’m a cheating again with this one. I only have one picture of us all together, and it was taken yesterday, so not even in January at all! The other thing about this photo is that it doesn’t really represent the month for us at all.

This is going to be a short post this week because we really haven’t done anything at all! Well, I went to London on Thursday to see Hamilton which was brilliant, but I started getting a headache on the train on the way home, which turned into some sort of sinusitis and I still feel rubbish now.

As we move nearer the end of January we are still in hibernation mode here. This week has been cold, and sometimes wet (although no snow here as usual on the Fylde Coast!) It’s been another quiet week at school and nursery for Toby and Gabe with not much on this weekend either. Read more
It’s the middle of the month which means it must be Siblings time again! Things are much the same with Toby and Gabe – they play nicely together a lot of the time, and they fight a lot of the time. Of course with the Christmas holidays they spent more time together than usual, so there was more playing and more fighting… Read more
It’s week 2 of Living Arrows for 2019 and we are back to reality with a bump! Toby went back to school on Monday and Gabe was back at nursery too. Actually, despite my fears last week they were both fine! Gabe cried a little bit when I dropped him off on Monday but just ran in the other two days he was there, and Toby was absolutely fine too. Fingers crossed it continues this week! Read more

Weaning your baby is definitely one of the big milestones of the first year of their life, but with so much conflicting advice out there, it can be hard to know where to start! Now Toby is five and Gabe is three we are past the weaning stage, although they are both still regularly trying new foods and discovering what they like and don’t like, just like they did when they were babies.

Here we are again – so this is going to be my sixth year of taking part in the Living Arrows linky! The project originally took it’s name from a poem by Kahlil Gibran, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” and it has seen a few incarnations in the last five years. For the last few years though it has been hosted by the lovely Donna at What the Redhead Said. Read more
