It’s been a good weekend. Lots of visiting, lots of jobs to do but we still managed to squeeze in a few adventures and crafts too.

The past week has been a good one. Back to school so Monday to Friday was back in to the routine. We do sometimes pop out visiting in the week, but on the whole, we tend to keep it close to home as it can be a really long day for the Bear. We managed to squeeze in a few crafts though and a visit to catch up with a friend.

At the weekend we try and head outside. The little man ADORES being out and about, so we make sure we cram in plenty of adventures. We had no plans this week but still managed to squeeze in a visit to the farm, our usual swimming lessons as well as a messy play session at our local playgroup. Plenty of time outside for him and plenty of things of make for her. A win-win weekend!

Our pictures this week though come from a mixed bag and are little moments in between any big adventures.

As we say goodbye to February is seems that we’re also saying goodbye to the fake spring we’ve been enjoying. I’m hoping it’s only temporary though as I’m already missing the sun. Our pictures this week comes from an impromptu visit to the beach. What else do you do on a cold windy day in March than pack up a picnic and head to the beach to fly some kites.

All our pictures this week are from an impromptu visit to Erddig which is a National Trust property near to us. Seeing as I work a few days a week for the Trust, some people find it bonkers that we also spend some of our free time there, but the kids love it and it’s still one of my favourite places.

This time is a was a great meet in the middle place to catch up with a friend. The kids played in the glorious sunshine and made some wild art while we had a good ole chin wag!

The reason I started this little blog of mine was to record those moments which make ordinary life a little extraordinary. However, with two jobs, two kids, a cat, a house and a husband – I seem to have lost that a little recently. So, welcome back to a little weekly update on some of the things we’ve been up to.

These are the posts designed for me to look back on when I’m old with an empty nest, so I hope you don’t mind indulging me once a week.
