Fidget bum, fairies & fajitas #LittleLoves
Happy Friday everyone! We have had such a hectic few weeks with half term and a few days away, and now we are desperately trying to get back into a routine….although the children have other ideas! It’s been lovely to see some sunshine at long last this week, long may it last! Anyway, on to our weekly round up!
This week we have been enjoying the loveliest children’s book, Molly’s Magic Wardrobe, and I can see this becoming a favourite for a long time to come! With a magic wand and fairy wings, as well as the most beautiful illustrations, I think Megan’s smile says it all!
This week I finally managed to watch something more than Nick Junior and sat down to watch the return of Davina McCalls show, “This time next year!”. It never fails to make me cry and this week was no different, I was sobbing just five minutes in! If you haven’t seen it then I definitely recommend it!
We heard the good news that Harry got his first choice of primary school and will be joining the girls in September! I am completely in denial about it and fooling myself into believing that he is still very much a baby….
We have been making up the bed with our amazing new Fidgetbum sheet! The Fidgetbum was designed to keep fidgety children in place during the night, and it’s been an absolute godsend for Harry! Made from a comfy, cosy, stretchy cotton fabric with a chunky zip at either end, it is designed to stretch snuggly around either a single or toddler bed mattress.
Usually in the night Harry wakes when he wriggles his way upside down or even out of bed, but since using the Fidgetbum he has woke each morning still perfectly in place and he (and we!!) have had a far better nights sleep!
Harry was over the moon with his dinosaur sweatshirt too, he is absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs of late and I’m sure you’ll agree, he is pretty roarsome!!
 
This week we have been enjoying Old El Paso Gluten Free Fajita’s and let me tell you, they are DELICIOUS!! I have been gluten free for almost 3 years now and although there are many foods which I miss, real fajitas are perhaps at the top of my list! Whilst many gluten free wraps are noticeably different to non GF varieties, the Old El Paso fajitas are pretty much identical to the originals! I thought I would test Gaz and the kids by not telling them they were gluten free and all of them commented on how good they were this week. I think that’s a win all round!
I have four kits to give away to four lucky winners! Simply enter via the link below, competition closes on May 20th. Good luck!

What a lovely round up post! Congratulations on your little one getting into his first choice school. It’s such a big step, but hoping he enjoys his first steps into education!
It is so hard when your youngest starts school as they seem to be forever babies! I was lucky in that my double trouble started 2 years later here in Sweden so I could enjoy them home for a little longer
We found out that our daughter got in to our first choice of school, and we are so happy! It’s such a relief. Though I also can’t believe that she starts school in September! Those unicorn tops are gorgeous!
Yay for getting first choice of school and yes for Fajitas!!! X
Two birthdays 6 and 7
Cant wait for a big party on saturday

The sunny weather! Finally being able to get out and not have to wrap up warm
Summer is finally here!
The sun has finally made an appearance, so I could finally get a bit of gardening done.
The highlight of my week was being able to go out and enjoy the garden yesterday! It was a gorgeous hot sunny day! I got the grass mowed and felt very clever! lol today is another beautiful day so I can go out and enjoy the garden again minus the mowing of grass 😉
The sun, as a mummy of four little ones getting in the garden getting things growing ready for nice garden days
The fidgetbum sheet sounds amazing I have a little fidget pants of my own so could really do with one of these!
The highlight of my week has been being able to comfortably put shorts on for the first time this year with all this sun!

Love the unicorn sweatshirts. So pretty. My twins got into their first choice of primary school too. So excited.
The highlight of my week has been sunshine!!!!
Potting on most of my seedlings.
We got our school letters this week too – it’s such a relief when you finally know where they’re going! My eldest got accepted into the private school we were hoping for, so we’re excited for him (not so much for the prices!) I keep hearing about ‘This time next year’ – I’m in Florida and I’m 99% sure we won’t get the show over here, but I’ll have a look and see if I can find it on YouTube. I love those unicorn sweaters too, I wonder if they make them in adult sizes?!
The sunshine!
Will have to watch that show as I don’t know it but love Davina. Love Old El Paso so glad to see they now do gluten free! xx
Definitely the hot weather! We went to the pub after work and had tea there in the garden. It was lovely and I wish every night was like that.

What a lovely roundup. We haven’t had fajitas for ages so I must see if I can get hold of a kit in my next shop x
The sun
Thankyou very much
Love the unicorn sweatshirts – do they do them in adult sizes?! And the fidgetbum sheets are a great idea. I need one of those for me!
That’s great that Harry got his first choice for the primary school. Love the girls unicorn jumpers too x sounds like a good week all round! We could certainly use the fidget bum sheet!
Sunshine! Beers with good friends, and coming home after a long week away at work.
Finishing work today , I have 5 whole days off! whoop Whoop! Please stay sunny!
The highlight of my week has been seeing the sun come out for once!
Yay for the school place! Those jumpers and bedding look fab 🙂
Lovely photos of your children. Great news about the school place!
I love your girls jumpers! They are so pretty just like your girls.
The highlight of my week was lounging in the garden letting the kids play in the sun!
the sunshine and being able to sit out and have a BBQ
Being able to sit outside in the sunshine and read a book 🙂
Here is to hoping the sun stays a little longer than before, it sounds like a busy week but fun.
My cousin moved into a new place.
I need that fidget bum sheet for Sebby – he is such a wriggler. I bet you are relieved Harry got his school place, but how is he old enough already???

Fantastic news about the school place. Makes life so much easier! x
My son’s 16th birthday yesterday. Not so much the highlight of his though, as he is revising for exams and there is a lot of pressure as well as extra lessons after school most nights. He perked up though when my sister suggested to him that he should have another birthday on Saturday complete with more cake!!
Going to tumble tots with my little boy

Well highlight and a bit of a shock, in a good way. Been working with the same colleague for nearly 2 years now and we’ve always been friendly, nothing too flirtatious but he supports the same football team as me, even if it’s not the same rugby league team so of course there’s a lot of friendly banter and ribbing if my rugby team beat his as they seem to be doing a lot these daysq. On Wednesday of last week, he has now asked if I’d like to go for a coffee with him when we have our lunch-break and see what happens from then on.
