I'm always thinking have myself and Iain done things the right way, in life I mean.
You know the whole have a house together, get married and then have babies.
We definitely haven't done things that way, we have lived together almost as long as we have been together (8 years) have two children and were not even close to being engaged!
Maybe I just think about it more now that its all in place as we never had a set plan for the way we wanted our lives to go.
We really like the fact we had our boys whilst we were still young, we can enjoy them and the things they do and when the time comes for them to be independent we can go off and have our own fun. Don't get me wrong we do things for ourselves occasionally, normally a cinema date night but we'd like to do some travelling, actually see some different places as we've never been abroad together!
I suppose its horses for courses and not one situation will suit all.
It would be my dream to have our own home, but that's still way off in the future.
The one thing in the world I want the most is to share a surname with my three favourite boys!
It's just down to Iain to ask the question!!

Did/do you have a life plan?
If your looking for some new activities to keep the kiddies happy on dreary wet days or whilst your waiting for the Sunday roast to cook then the Weekend box* club is the answer to your prayers.
Aimed at children aged 3-6 years the Weekend box club is a subscription box with plenty of activities to occupy your little people either fortnightly or monthly.
The boxes were founded by Andy whilst his was on the hard hunt for gift ideas for his nieces and nephews, they include recipes, craft activities and learning resources.
We were kindly sent a Weekend Box to have a rummage through and review.
Included in our Aztec themed box were two craft activities that Harry (4) wanted to get stuck straight into and of course where Harry goes Freddie (2) follows!!
Aztec parrot:

 |
| Excited face! |
 |
| Here's mine Mum |
 |
| Finished Aztec Parrots |
Aztec Mosaic coaster:
 |
| Concentration face.... |
 |
| Finished masterpiece |
The weekend box is a brilliant addition to our 'craft/activities' box at home, for when mind has run dry of ideas to entertain the boys.
I would happily subscribe on a monthly basis to keep the box stocked!

Do you ever find yourself looking for new ideas to help the kids to clear their plates at meal times?
I know I have on more than one occasion. Getting your kids involved in making a meal will really help to spark their enthusiasm with it.
Here is one idea that made Harry clear his plate and gave Mummy a smile on her face.
It was by no means anything spectacular but it was a massive hit that has graced his plate many times now.
All it took was three simple ingredients a cookie cutter and some mummy imagination!

When I was asked to review one of the new designs for Skibz bibs I jumped at the chance!!
For those of you that don't know Skibz are a funky bandana style bib created by Helen a UK Mum, when her children were 'really dribbley'!.
 |
| Freddie showing off his classic navy blue & white French stripe Skibz. |
Ever since becoming a Mum to Harry in 2010 I've also had many a day with excessive dribble from my baby/toddler and after discovering Skibz (which I later found out are made only 13 miles form where I live) I was converted from the ordinary bib.
 |
| Harry in the first ever Skibz we had (Oct 2010) |
 |
| Freddie in the same bib 3 years on! |
Both of my boys have always been dribblers and even now at 20 months Freddie will have to wear a bib from time to time.
No amount of dribble has ever seeped through one of our Skibz bibs, and even on the worst of teething days they always look fab even with a hint of dribble! No changing them every half an hour.
I have had quite a few different designs of Skibz over the years, even reversible ones!
I'd recommend them to anyone with children, they have great designs, so well made and wash really really well.
As soon as you open your Skibz you can tell they are brilliant quality, they are thick yet extremely soft.
I can tell you all whole heartedly that the product washes absolutely amazingly, as you saw from the above pictures Freddie still wears a Skibz that was first worn in 2010 and still looks as new. There is no fading to the colour or deterioration to the fabric or absorbency of the bib.
In the past I have brought other bandana style dribble bibs but none seem to compare with the Skibz.
*Made from 100% cotton*
*Look like an item of clothing*
*Two press stud fastenings*
*Wash up to 60 °C*
Skibz are stocked in many large retailers and also from their own website www.skibz.co.uk
Thanks Skibz!
