Father’s Day Hotel Chocolat Giveaway

We don’t really celebrate Father’s Day in a big way, but whenever I do buy a gift for my dad, or for my hubby, I struggle. I mean what do you get someone who basically has everything he needs, and doesn’t really seem ‘into’ anything. But one thing you generally can’t fail with in the

Project 365 – Week 18

Not a very nice week to be honest. First Bee was ill, then I was (and now it seems like the hubby has got it). So we didn’t go to any toddler groups this week and have just been recuperating at home. Hopefully back to normal next week. Day 117 – Hubby home today, so
