- Wishing the children would sleep in.
- Heading downstairs in a daze to lounge on the sofa and drink tea.
- Making pancakes.
- Having a very lazy day. We stayed in our PJs and pottered.
- Finally replacing the shelves in Jesse’s room. We’re in love with the Greenaway Gallery Bookcase from Great Little Trading Co.
- Wondering if I should curb my book buying habit when a few titles wouldn’t fit. I’m now on the hunt for baskets to corral the overflow.
- Catching up on a little housework.
- Persuading the children to tidy their rooms.
- Cooking and eating Greekish Butter Beans. The feta is definitely the best bit.
- Listening to the children play in the bath.
- Reading Jesse a bedtime story.
- Marking Doris Day’s 90th birthday by watching April in Paris with Izzy.
- Sipping on Crabbie’s ginger beer.
- Whisking Izzy up to bed and settling down for a night in front of the TV with Carl.
- Watching Lost and snacking on crispbread and houmous.
- Laughing as we caught Jesse peering in through the living room door. When we quized him on what he’d seen we realised he’d been there for at least 15 minutes. Sneaky.
- Marching him back upstairs to bed.
- Staying up too late.
- Collapsing into bed and falling asleep immediately.
- Waking up to the sound of Carl opening the front door for the Ocado delivery.

- Smothering a piece of pork in smoked paprika before slipping it into the oven.
- Making our way into town on the bus.
- Wandering through the Bearpit towards Stokes Croft.
- Pausing to admire the street art. It’s an amazing area, there’s something beautiful at every turn. The children loved it.
- Sampling a Sunday roast at The Canteen. Izzy and I really enjoyed the veggie option, but the boys were less impressed with their beef. We loved the laidback feel of the place though and would definitely give it a second chance.
- Strolling back to Cabot Circus for a spot of shopping.
- Treating the children to a Krispy Kreme doughnut for dessert.
- Picking up a statement necklace in Accessorize.
- Loving how it looks next to my Binky boucle jacket from Great Plains {£110 reduced to £33, crazy bargain}.

- Trying not to worry about juggling work during the Easter holidays.
