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…

On Friday Heidi began her potty training journey. A week ago I bought a pack of Huggies Pull Ups as they were on offer. Heidi really took to them and has been showing a real interest in the potty, so on Friday I decided to take the plunge and let…

Tonight I experienced the scariest couple of minutes of my life. Henry choked, not just your usual gaging, before it appears again, but properly choked to the point of almost turning blue. It was absolutely horrendous and something I hopefully never have to experience again. I’d returned home from work…

Things have been pretty quiet on the blog over the past week – apologies! As you can imagine, life is pretty hectic at the best of times. However, these week I’ve been really busy with work, have been away on a two-day course and on Monday the twins were two!…

With it being Oscar’s birthday recently, it got me thinking that although I’ve recorded the twins’ birth story, I don’t have Oscar’s anywhere. The main purpose of my blog is to record all those magical moments, so that my kids can one day look through them. Although Oscar was born…
