I can’t believe we are almost at the end of April already – seriously how fast did it go?

May is one of the busiest months of the year for us. Not only do we have two bank holidays we also have three birthdays to celebrate (Mr H’s, E’s and mine) and we are also having a little Eurovision party this year so lots of party prep for us (by that I mean me)

Anyway – back to April. I do love looking back at the end of every month to see what we have been up to.

Here are our favourites for this month.

Devon

This had to be on the top of our list. We had such a lovely time away – amazing views, fab company and my goodness we ate and drank A LOT. It was perfect! The boys loved being able to have a dip in the pool every day as well as being able to go to the beach and spend time goofing around with their friends. We are already looking into booking our next one but you can check out the post I wrote about the beautiful cottage we stayed in here.

New Bunk Beds

This actually happened right at the end of March but just missed being in my favourites last month. M was in a cot right up until we bought bunk beds and I had visions of him keep getting out of bed but thankfully he has been brilliant with the transition.

The boys loved sleeping in their bunk beds last night and M didn’t get out once!

It also means that there is a bit more space in the boy’s room now where they can play. We desperately need to buy some decent storage and choose some new colours to paint the walls so hopefully, we will do that over the next couple of weeks.

Me time

M upped his nursery days just after the Easter holidays which has meant that on Fridays I now have a whole 4 and a half hours to myself. So far, I’ve not spent it in the most productive of ways. I felt really lost without him the first week and spent it mooching about around the house. I was tempted to get back into bed but settled on drinking tea and watching daytime TV instead. Last Friday, I met up with a friend and we went for breakfast in our local Squire’s Garden Centre before heading home to do a mammoth clean of the house because we had a play date around ours after school.

This week? I have plans to go and see the lovely Lisa from Mrs Savage Angel which I am very much looking forward to.

Five Guys

We’ve had a Five Guys near us in Kingston for a while now and both Mr H and I have been meaning to go and try it out. We were shopping in Guildford after having been swimming a few weeks ago and couldn’t decide where to go for lunch – well that was until we spied Five Guys.

It’s not cheap for a family of four (it cost us just over £40) but we did order too much but the burgers were AMAZING! They were so tasty and I have never seen so many choices for toppings! If you’ve never tried it before – you simply must go!

Last official day of our hols so we went swimming and then had our first ever @fiveguysuk It was sooooooooo good!

The 100, Season 2

We’ve been waiting for this to come onto Amazon Video for ages now and finally it has!!! We watched the first season back in September last year. If it were down to me I’d be totally binge-watching all of them in one sitting but the husband is a bit more restrained.

That’s our favourites for April – what were yours?
