It’s definitely catch-up time! One of the challenges of being a mum-running-your-own-business is that you have lots of school holidays to juggle. This Easter I took some time off with the girls and thoroughly enjoyed it… however it’s fair to say that it’s taken me a couple of weeks to catch up after having time off!
Actually capturing a photo-a-day became a real joy during the hols, but keeping up with the blogging definitely took a back seat. So the next two blog posts will be double-whammy-weeks, and then hopefully I will have caught up! Hope you enjoy this set…

My gorgeous niece is visiting and the girls wanted to do a little party for her as she’s just turned five… these are dinosaur-designed balloons, as that’s her current obsession!
