And just like that half term is done. Unfortunately we had quite a lot of tears about going back to school and nursery this morning but I’m hoping it’s just because it was the first day back and tomorrow will be better. We didn’t do an awful lot during the holiday – both boys just need time at home to decompress, relax and recover I think and hopefully they managed to do that. Read more

Although it doesn’t seem like Toby has been back at school for long, it’s actually been seven weeks and that means it’s half term time. We definitely need it here – both boys are shattered, they’ve both got colds and they are just generally in need of a break and a few days lying around at home and not doing much. Read more

It’s been a fairly quiet week here, just the usual school and nursery and running errands. We’ve only got one week to go until half term and I think the boys are both ready for a break. I really need to think of some things to fill our time though or it won’t feel like much of a break for me! Read more

Monday again! Another week done which means it’s time for another Living Arrows post. I was away this weekend in the Lake District with a lovely group of bloggers (I’ll be writing all about it very soon!) so it meant picture taking duty fell to Daddy again this week. Read more

I swear I only wrote last week’s Living Arrows post two minutes ago – I don’t know where the time is going at the moment. I’m sure the boys only just went back to school and nursery but it’s October already, and half term in three weeks! Read more

The last week seems to have absolutely flown by. We’re definitely back into our routine of school runs, swimming lessons and weekends of recovery! Toby and Gabe have both been much more settled going to school and nursery this last week so hopefully the worst is now behind us. Read more

I’m a bit late with today’s Living Arrows post – I was away at BlogOn, a blogging conference in Manchester this weekend and didn’t get round to writing my post when I got home last night. I had a fab weekend away so Daddy was on photo taking duties this weekend. Read more

Well I don’t know about you but we are well and truly into autumn up here in the north. The boys are back at school. Strictly and The X Factor are back on the telly and I’ve even had to turn the heating on this week! Read more

And so this is it. The summer holidays are over. I thought it was going to be a really long six weeks but actually it feels like it has gone really quickly – I guess being away for two weeks in the middle helped! This last week was a bit different, as I mentioned in last week’s post. Read more

After coming back from our holidays last week we’ve had a very quiet week at home this week. We haven’t done much beyond a trip to the supermarket and a visit to the library. I think we all needed a bit of down time to rest and recover after being away. Read more
