It’s been a big week or two for E as she has lost not one but both of her front teeth. It wasn’t easy either as each and every mealtime she’d struggle with tooth-trauma and there were tears, oh there were tears! She has, however, had two rather special visits from the tooth fairy (who apparently pays big bucks for front teeth) and as a result, E is now “rich” or so she thinks at least… Thankfully now the teeth are out our little lady is pain-free and gappy happy! Gappy Happy J is the kindest, most caring and considerate …

Following watching the recent release of Disney’s Zombies 2 my kids have done nothing but rewatch, dance and sing along to scenes from the movie.

We didn’t waste the day entirely. Instead, we decided to enjoy our very own ‘board game …

At the risk of sounding like Phil Mitchell from Eastenders – “Family is everything”. When times get tough it’s family that you protect and family that you turn to. My family is indeed everything… These two treasures are my sunshine on a cloudy day, my rainbow in a stormy sky, they are the colour, the beauty and the happiness in my life.
