Today we had big Bro Curly with us. The tiddlers love it when Curly is here and this morning wherever he went, they went. Curly kept them entertained whilst I went off for a shower by reading them all a story. Even Jelly Bean was paying attention! Then when he managed to escape downstairs to … Read more
I can’t believe we are into the third week of the summer holidays already, it’s been a mixed bag so far. On the whole the tiddlers haven’t been too bad. I have had one or two days each week where I feel like the biggest failure ever to exist in parenthood but the rest of … Read more
This weekend was ALLLLLL about Harry Potter!! On Saturday we set off early to visit the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford to see the Making of Harry Potter. Curly was seriously excited as he has been a Harry Potter fan for years, he has read every book and watched every film. Little Bean and … Read more
Yesterday ended on a pretty rubbish note. Little Bean and Beanie Boy were showing some rather testing behaviour whilst we were at Nanny and Grandad’s house.

At the moment our mornings are quite relaxing, I don’t have to get Little Bean to playscheme until 9.30am so I’m actually getting there on time BEFORE the school gates open. Now why can’t school start at 9.30am too, I work so much better for having that little extra time in the morning!! Perhaps I … Read more
Little Bean went to Playscheme and today’s theme was transport. She insisted that the car was for Beanie Boy to keep in his bedroom, the picture was for Hubby to take to work and the Rocket “I haven’t decided who can have that one yet!”. Back at home the tiddlers had lots of fun with … Read more
I really like the idea of Balance Bikes, I am still haunted by the days when I was learning to ride a bike myself and I struggled so much with it because I just couldn’t get my balance. Little Bean still cannot ride her bike without her stabilisers but try as I might, she just … Read more
You blink for one second and you’re children are all grown up! Since Jelly Bean has come along I have noticed the changes in Beanie Boy. He is still my little cutie, a very loving little boy but I’m seeing him in a different light now, he’s growing up. Being the baby of the family … Read more
