Toy storage solutions – pick of the best

As much as I love Christmas, part of me always has a bit of a panic about where we are going to fit all the new toys the children get. We are extremely fortunate in that we have quite a large playroom, which we gained when we had our house…

My captured moment

There’s been so many special moments to choose from this week as all the children have been involved in nativity plays, which I’ll share photo’s from in a separate post. However, the moment I’ve chosen is the twin’s first night in big boy/girl beds. We’ve been putting off changing their…

Why I love to blog

Recently I’ve not been able to blog as often as I’d like. This is mainly due to changing jobs. I’ve been really busy getting settled in at my new job and coupled with keeping on top of the housework and spending time with the children and hubby, I just haven’t…

The demise of the daytime nap

When the twins were still tiny, we worked hard to ensure that they were in a good, predictable routine (I think it’s the only way to survive twins!). As a result they’ve always been good sleepers. They go to bed at 7pm and sleep until about 6/6.30am. They’ve also always…

Caputuring the special moments – October

October has been a crazy month for us, here’s what we’ve been up to: I got the ‘You’re In’ magazine for the London Marathon, which has coincided with a foot injury from the recent half marathon I did (it’s finally starting to feel better!). So I’ve wanted to exercise but…

I love a multi-tasker!

I was recently asked to review Zoflora Disinfectant, and although it didn’t immediately strike me as a particular exciting product to review, I thought it would a good opportunity to try something new. I tend to stick to the same cleaning products, as I prefer to spend my time thinking…
