Most of the local schools were closed today thanks to the heavy snowfall last night but Little Bean’s school was still open so she got to have lots of fun building snow castles and snowmen with her friends at school. After a rather slippery drive and a long walk to Beanie Boy’s pre-school I was … Read more
Last week Beanie Boy asked me over and over again if we could go swimming. Up until Christmas I had still been taking him swimming once a week whilst Little Bean was at school but since Christmas I haven’t felt the steadiest on my feet so I didn’t think heading to a leisure pool was … Read more
