Today is the last day the twins are learning remotely at home…yes face to face lessons start full-time next week. Read about how I fared on day one and compared to day 66! Also, have a laugh of my breakdown of what a day learning at home entails. Is this like your house? Let me know.
Tomorrow the twins start back at school with face to face lessons one day a week. Yep, every Monday they will be at school and not at home…cannot wait for the peace and quiet this gives me.

A birthday party to organise, sick and horrible headaches and what feels like a million events for school and things to organise. Oh why oh why can’t I just sleep until I feel better?

Do you feel like you are plodding along? Just getting by with things? Not really being happy or sad, but just okay? Lately, I’ve been wanting to go do something…
It was not my plan to have this happen around my birthday, but I am very pleased it is done. I got a health check that meant that I couldn’t eat or drink anything fun. Read on to find out more.
Alexander was watching Firefighters Song for Kids from Bounce Patrol Kids on YouTube, it was a catchy and fun song. However, the only thing that I could not stop looking at was the woman firefighter was in a dress and wearing thigh high boots with heels! Yep, the woman is dressed in non firefighting clothes and the men have adequate clothes to fight a fire.

Let me know your thoughts.
