Imagine sleeping at home, and then waking up at TK Maxx.”

⭐ How the stars do it
Harry Potter himself wishing there was a spell to get your baby to sleep.
"There's no relation to what we need for sleep," he said of their schedule.
"The less I sleep, the more I sleep at night. But the less they sleep, the less they sleep! And the more they sleep, the better they sleep!
It makes no sense, but it is apparently how they work."
Yeah, we’ve been there mate.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Spring Bank Holiday | Mon 27th May; unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know this is your last 3-day weekend till August. Enjoy it!
Global Day of Parents | Sat 1st June; it’s apparently a thing…not that your kids will realise.
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.
There was once a king who was 12 inches tall.
Terrible king; great ruler.
