De-cluttering
I’ve been de-cluttering quite a bit recently. Really, with the last 2-3 months not working, I really should have started it earlier. The craft drawers & boxes were first to be sorted out a couple of weeks ago, and now…

Sticker Fun
Kids love stickers. Don’t they? I think N does but not to the extent some other children appear to. He has a few sticker books and likes occasionally spending time sticking the stickers onto blank pages. We’ve not reached the…
2 year old and photo session
I wanted to get some photos done of N when he hit 2, and missed out on our Pixifoto free visit when it came just after Christmas. But our local softplay has a several relevant businesses that work out of there…
New job
