What do you remember about being a child? Do you remember the toys you played with? The friends you had? The adventures you went on? The activities you did with your parents?

I want our girls to look back and remember the fun times they had. The laughs we shared, the exciting places we've been to and how we're a family.

The only problem though is that sometimes life can seem to get in the way of that. The practical things in life, the boring things us grown ups have to do ..... The washing, the ironing, the cleaning - all those things take up time that I wish I could be playing with our girls.

This morning Peach set up a lovely little "nest" for the girls to watch a DVD in. The sat in their bed of cushions and blankets and watched Oliver. Peach then played computer games with the girls; all the time I was ironing.

Most of my friends will know just how much ironing I have and to say that I have cleared over half of it, is a major achievement!

I truly do hope our girls will remember the giggles and smiles :)
