🎾 Activity of the week
Need 15 mins to get some work done this weekend or just desperate for a bit of peace and quiet. Try distracting the kids with simply a bit of tape, a pen and some toy cars.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Thanksgiving Day | Thursday 28th November; time to teach your little ones the art of saying thank you.
Black Friday | Friday 29th November; make a list of all the bulky paraphernalia that comes with parenting; car seats, buggies, a new cot…save yourself a pretty penny and get shopping now!
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.
