![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

![[AD] What does family look like for you?
I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.

![📚 Are you ready for World Book Day? 📚
[AD - Gifted] I don't know about you, but I have never made the boys a costume for #WorldBookDay. I just don't have it in me to be creative that way. Their costumes have always been bought or cobbled together with what we already have, and luckily, the school allow you to wear pyjamas to school, which makes things a lot easier!
M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)
The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.
Did you know that there are now 20 Tom Gates storybooks to get stuck into? Ideal for kids aged 6-12, the series consists of feel-good, hilarious books full of photos and stories about Tom's life at home and school. Best of all, you can read them in any order.
The latest book is Tom Gates: Happy to Help (Eventually), and along with the pyjamas, you can pick them up from @GeorgeAtAsda just in time for World Book Day!
There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.

Easter Activities for children in and around Kingston
With only a few weeks left until Easter and aside from ALL the chocolate the kids will be consuming – have you thought about how to entertain them over the Easter break?
I thought it would be useful to put together a list of Easter Activities in and around the Kingston area.
Thames Ditton Miniature Railway
It’s no secret that my boys are HUGE train fans. We have been regulars at this miniature railway ever since E was old enough. It’s a great afternoon of fun for the whole family. There are a variety of miniatures to ride on, a small shop selling sandwiches, cakes and drinks but you can also bring your own picnic to enjoy too.
The miniature railway opens on Easter Sunday 27 March and Monday 28 March from 2-5.30pm and then the first Sunday of every month until October.
Tickets start from £2 for a single ride or £24.50 for a family of four.
Wyvale Garden Centre
Selected Wyvale Garden Centres (the closest ones to Kingston are Syon Park, Lower Morden or Weybridge) are holding a special Easter event where you have breakfast or tea with the Easter Bunny!
The children will be able to:
- Meet the Easter Bunny and choose a cuddly toy
- Decorate an Easter cookie
- Munch on mini chocolate eggs
- Go on an Easter Bunny egg hunt
We have booked to take the boys on Good Friday as a special treat but have not told them about it yet! I can’t wait to see how excited they will be about it.
Breakfast or Tea with the Easter Bunny is from 14th – 28th March

Thanks for sharing this! RHS Wisley is a regular for us, as is Bocketts Farm, but I’d not heard of the Miniature railway – my little boy would love that!
