![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

![📚 Are you ready for World Book Day? 📚
[AD - Gifted] I don't know about you, but I have never made the boys a costume for #WorldBookDay. I just don't have it in me to be creative that way. Their costumes have always been bought or cobbled together with what we already have, and luckily, the school allow you to wear pyjamas to school, which makes things a lot easier!
M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)
The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.
Did you know that there are now 20 Tom Gates storybooks to get stuck into? Ideal for kids aged 6-12, the series consists of feel-good, hilarious books full of photos and stories about Tom's life at home and school. Best of all, you can read them in any order.
The latest book is Tom Gates: Happy to Help (Eventually), and along with the pyjamas, you can pick them up from @GeorgeAtAsda just in time for World Book Day!
There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.

We went to check out the newly opened @laserquestkingston last week.
Laser Quest, VR Experiences and Arcades all under one roof means only one thing - bundles of fun and games for the kids at really affordable prices.
Laser Quest games start from just £7.95 but you can also buy a Laserquest and VR Experience combo pass.
You need to purchase tokens for the arcades (they’re all 1 token to play). Arcade tokens are 6 for £5 or 12 for £10
Feeling super lucky that this is practically on our doorstep and we will definitely be back again because Mr H came second in our Laser Quest game and refuses to be beaten by E!
Do you have a Laserquest near you?

Other than my wedding and engagement rings, I don’t usually wear much jewellery but I have always loved lockets. We bought one for my mother-in-law as a thank you gift for looking after the boys a few years ago. I put photos of both E & M in there so she could have a piece of them wherever she goes and since then I have always meant to get something similar for myself.
LOVELOX got in touch recently offering me a Heart Personalised Silver locket to review which was great timing.
LOVELOX London
LOVELOX is a British jewellery company that specialises in handcrafted customised lockets made of precious metals and real diamonds. They convert everyday Instagram moments into something special by allowing you to personalise each locket with two photographs and an engraved message.
Ordering through the LOVELOX website
Ordering through the site is an easy process. You simply choose the locket you want to purchase and click on “Create my locket” From there, you’re taken through to a page where you can personalise the locket with your own message. You can choose the type of font from a range of options and the size.
Once that is done, you can then upload the photos you’d like and choose the chain length. Once you have been through the whole process, you can then see a preview of what this would look like. There are options to move and adjust the photos too until you are happy to then proceed through to the checkout. I think this is a great touch as usually, adding your own photos to a locket can be rather tricky.
I decided to engrave my locket with the words “Family” and uploaded a photo of my boys and a family photo of us all together.
The locket arrived within a few days and came beautifully packaged. The images are really clear and of good quality, as is the locket. I’m really impressed with it and absolutely love it.
LOVELOX Lockets would make a wonderful gift, take a look at their website for their full range of beautiful lockets.
