Well here’s a genius hack we stumbled across for enjoying snacks without alerting your kids to the situation.
New challenge: what’s the most ludicrous treat you can hide in your coffee mug?

⭐ How the stars do it
Apparently delegation is the key to successful leadership parenting.
Well, look no further.
The BBC have released a number of children’s stories read by none other than your favourite household celebrities.
You might not want to share this with your partner though; the Tom Hardy edition is apparently a bit of a “thirst trap”.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
National Gardening Day | Sun 14th Apr; engage your kids in the garden using some of these great tips.
World Art Day | Mon 15th Apr; find an empty frame at your local charity shop and commemorate your toddler’s latest piece of nursery art with a place on your wall.
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
Did you hear about the flasher who exposed himself to two elderly ladies?
One had a stroke.
The other couldn’t quite reach.
