Time has passed so quickly and now we are welcoming 2019! This will be a very challenging year ahead as we are buying a new house soon and Mr K will be going to ‘big’ school in September. The year before, we made a big decision to sell our ‘forever home’ to move closer to Mr K’s big school as we wanted the best school for him. It was not an easy decision as it involved tying ourselves to a bigger/longer mortgage and moving away from our nearby friends.

Now let’s skip the squabbling, grab a bucket of popcorn and get ready for the ultimate Halloween which will have the seal of approval from the whole family.
As my children are getting older, they are less and less keen to go Trick or Treating and getting dressed up for the occasion, so staying indoors watching a good film has become a norm. We are very much loving spending time at home to stay warm and cosy too, especially over the weekend! Of course, not forgetting to have plenty of snacks and a takeaway for an extra treat!
With these great titles, this half term and Halloween are sorted! We also like to bake yummy cookies and decorate it with Halloween theme colours! Baking is one of Ms C’s favourite pastimes and it is a great way of spending time together!
