A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to receive a trunki boost-a-pak to review. JR is nearly 5 and he uses a high back booster seat in the car now, when we know that he is going into a friend or grandparents car we always take his car seat out of our car and Continue reading →
Over the last few months JR, that little dude in the picture above, has been getting more and more interested in technology – be it a camera, phone, laptop, ipad, tablet or the smart whiteboard thingy at his school. One of his favourite pastimes over the summer holiday was to watch toy reviews on YouTube to Continue reading →
Most of you already know I do love a bit of cbeebies, well be honest who doesn’t. Most of you know I love watching Alex Winters, he’s so lovely and when he’s in the cbeebies house you know that he’s as entertained by the links as the audience are. Well when I heard there was Continue reading →

Having seeing the macro camera shots of a sunflower that were recently posted by Darren I felt very inspired on Sunday to have a go myself, this meant me doing something I have never done before……….take my camera off the auto setting! Well here are my efforts whilst I know they are nowhere near the standard of Darren or even theboyandme I am very proud of my efforts. I’d love you to let me know what you think.
As is the norm for my social pix posts I’m linking up to Darren, why not click the link have a little look at every one else’s and join in yourself while you’re at it.
Yesterday my big man not only turned 4 years and 10 months old, he started school. He had his 1st day at proper school. Well I say 1st day until the 16th September he will only be there until 1pm. He’ll have his dinner and then come home. He won’t be learning too much but Continue reading →
A few months ago I wrote a review for a fantastic company called it’s your story who write personalised story books, however that’s not all they sell. They sell an amazing variation of items, well this week in time for JR to start school I was lucky enough to be sent a personalised water bottle. Continue reading →
So the time has come to hand the keys in on my lovely (but small) 2 bedroom studio apartmentflat. This was our 1st family home, we moved in when JR was 6 months old, up until then although we were married we lived with my parents. We were the 1st people ever to live there, Continue reading →
You may have noticed that over the last two weeks I’ve blogged very little, well that’s because we’ve been moving house. We’ve left our small 2 bedroom flat and moved into a large 3 bedroom house with a front and back garden. We all seem to be settling well, LA goes to sleep in her Continue reading →
I’m ashamed to say it as I know it’s an important part of growing up, but I really dislike messy play, and I’ve really not done much of it with the boys outside of playgroups or nursery. Well this week as we’ve been making the most of our new garden and nice weather, I decided Continue reading →

Whilst enjoying the garden this week JR made a discovery, it’s his treasure. He’s Immensely proud of his treasure, so proud he made me take a photo of it. He also asked me what it is and I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer so if you know or have an idea please Continue reading →

JR has been in nursery since January 2012. He had attended term times most days since then, it was my choice to send him, I was under no obligation to take him and if we wanted a sneaky trip to Alton Towers, Legoland or somewhere equally exciting we just told them in advance he wouldn’t be in.
All that is about to change, from Thursday I will be legally required to have JR in his uniform, ready to learn and in the school playground at 8.45 every Monday – Friday during term time, with the only exception being for illness. This scares me, I feel as if I’m losing my child, and my control over what he sees, does and experiences during his formative years.
JR is a November child so will be one of if not the eldest in his class. However I still don’t feel he’s ready to be away from home without me or his daddy for 6 hours a day, 3 hours of nursery whacked him out.
However I know there is nothing I can do to stop it happening, it’s a legal requirement that he gets an education, and I for one are nowhere near clever enough, and have no where near enough patience to homeschool and with 2 other little ones at home it wouldn’t be fair on any of them. So formal school education it is!
Just beware on Thursday I may will be a blubbering emotional mess.
My gorgeous little man ‘Just chillaxing!’
This week my social pix is a photo of a photo that means the world to me. This is me and my wonderful hubby adayinthisdadslife dancing our first dance. As always I’m linking this to the fantastic blogger that is onedad3girls and social pix
This morning me and La climbed into a taxi, while the boys stayed at home with Grandma, and we headed off to Russell’s Hall Hospital to see La’s dietician Cheryl. I was hopeful that they’d be happy with how she’s doing although I was pretty sure they’d still say she’s underweight. Well how wrong can Continue reading →
