![[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.

Barracudas Activity Day Camps are back for Easter!
It’s been a really odd year. We’ve all had to adapt the way we live and work and the children have had to learn to do their schoolwork online. This has not only meant a strain on parents who have suddenly had to take on the role of teacher but also for the kids who haven’t been able to socialise and interact with their friends.
Thankfully with the vaccine underway, it looks like we can start to look forward and slowly try and get back to how life was before. Schools have reopened, allowing children to socialise and learn in the school environment again. Businesses are looking to gradually open up from April onwards which is fantastic news.
Barracudas Activity Day Camps are back for Easter!
I am so pleased that Barracudas Activity Day Camps will be opening for the Easter holidays. The boys attended in the Summer of 2019 and really enjoyed it and we are absolutely thrilled to be chosen to be ambassadors for them again.
Barracudas Activity Day Camps have clubs in over 40 locations across the South East of England. They have been busy behind the scenes preparing for their return and will offer a fun and safe environment for the children over the Easter holidays.
All camps will be COVID-secure and fully adhere to current government guidance.
How have the camps changed?
Barracudas Activity Day Camps have made some minor amends to the timetable. Motor sports, fencing and inflatables will not be available but all other activities (there are over 80 to choose from) will be running.
Here are just some of them:
- Lab Rats science experiments
- Dodgeball
- Swimming/Waterpark
- Quad Bikes
- Netball
- Den Building
- Quidditch
- Tennis
- Arts & Crafts
- Badminton
- Archery
Barracudas will be operating a new policy called the 4 P’s (Planning, Premises, Processes and People).
- Each Barracudas camps will have reduced capacity available to keep children safe. There will be a max of 15 children per group (for Early Years this will be a max of 24).
- Staggered entry and exits
- Socially distanced queueing and one-way systems
- Dedicated isolation area should children fall ill
- Extra handwashing and sanitising throughout the day
- Additional cleaning of facilities and al equipment
See the graphic below for more detail.
Childcare vouchers accepted and risk-free booking
Having been in lockdown for so long, parents will have built up a backlog in childcare vouchers. The good news is that these can be used as payment at Barracudas as they are Ofsted Registered. They are also offering a risk-free promise where in the unlikely event that the camps have to be cancelled or you have to self-isolate, you will either be entitled to a full refund (if you chose the flex booking option) or receive a credit note to use another time.
All-new Palace for life Football Camp
New for 2021, Palace for Life Football camp is an additional course for boys and girls aged 7-12 and is available at selected camps. It is ideal for football-mad kids who want to learn from professionals and develop their skills. You can find out more about Palace for Life Football Camp here.
We are really looking forward to attending camp again. The camp the boys go to has huge playing fields for children to run around in which they love.
