These two have been thick as thieves this week. They are sharing a bedroom while we pack for our move which may have something to do with it. Lovely to see cuddles and laughter replacing the usual fighting and squabbling! They have grown up so much since our Summer holiday. Slow down life!

There hasn't been many glimpses of my life over the past few weeks as we've been super busy preparing for the big move. But the girls and I managed to take a break from packing on Friday night to do some baking.
For millennia, the human species grew up in a world without electronic devices, let alone smart ones. But over the last 20 years, and in the last 10 in particular, that’s all changed. Children are now so used to the technology in their homes that there are videos of toddlers online literally using their fingers to scroll down the pages of physical paperbacks.
We had an amazing trip to Circus Wonderland who visit our local recreation ground each year and never disappoint. The show always changes and my favourite act this year was the trapeze. Amazing strength and grace.
In amongst the chaos of packing for our move we paused to make my signature Carrot Cake Trifle (yes, it really is as good as it sounds) on Friday. The carrot cake was offcuts from my sister in law's wedding cake which I have in the freezer. The girls did a fab job of whisking up some cream cheese frosting to layer with the crumbled cake. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Linking up to #mysundayphoto Husband has been away for a few days so it has just been me and these two crazy cats for the last days of the Summer holidays. We've really has a blast making the most of our Kidspass membership with lots of half price cinema trips and kids eat free meal deals. We've also been on a few road trips to visit my family before school starts and reality kicks back in.
Linking up to #mysundayphoto Today marks the end of our holiday. The second week we were joined by my Bestie and her family. We were sad to come home but reality beckons!
Linking up to #mysundayphoto Sorry things have been rather quiet over here this week. We have finally sold our house which has knocked me completely off course! I'll rewind and fill you in on the journey so far...
Little E proving she is not so little anymore as she traverses the Go Ape course alone. She bloody loved it and boy was she speedy!
After the week of scorching heat we can certainly say Summer has arrived! But while the sun brings fun but it also brings danger and protecting our family's skin is top of the agenda on sunny days. I've teamed up with Nivea Sun and Cancer Research UK to bring you some top sun safety tips and test out some family friendly suncreams to avoid tears and tantrums!
