#LivingArrows - Gaps, Grins and Good Fun

Welcome to another week of #LivingArrows, hopefully this upcoming week will be a little less chaotic than the past one. I swear to god our children have better social lives than we do as between after school clubs, parties and play groups there has been little time for us to sit down together and catch our breath. Heres two of my favourite photos of the kids from the past week to celebrate #LivingArrows. Foam Sticker Fun We bought E some new foam stickers, rather than just getting the usual multicoloured shapes I opted for a mega pack of different shapes, animals, letters,…

Nap times seemed to come to an end when E was just over…

I love it when we get to sit down together as a family and just enjoy each others company, I think I may begin a ‘board game Sunday’ tradition to help us wind down and come together as a family at the…

The Night Owl Lifestyle - Burning The Candle At Both Ends

I will openly admit to the fact that I am a night owl, I always have been and guess I always will be. Once I became a parent I was expecting to get myself to bed earlier but somehow it never happened. Once we have managed to get the kids to bed there are a few hours before we consider hitting the hay ourselves. We seem to get far more done at night-time than we do during the day, it seems the most obvious time to get things done without the hinderence help of our little ones. Paul and I tend…
