I hope all the mums out there had a lovely Mother's Day.
My two-year-old gets very excited about giving presents now - they are called pre, he doesn't say the second part of the word yet!
He rushed in from the shops with my husband on Friday and happily revealed he'd bought me a 'pre'! Then told me it was some chocolates, so I was able to have them before the day.
And we made some lovely chocolates for his grandmas too and carefully decorated some boxes to put them in, so he was thrilled to give those out as well.
For mothers-to-be, who have all this loveliness to come, I've been continuing my daily exploration of baby names on the Sand-Writing.com Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/SandWriting.
