    Sunflowers just make my heart happy

Grayson is already on a countdown as to how many days it is until they open for pumpkin season! ⁣To be honest I am too! Such a gorgeous setting, so quirky with the piano and the bathtub amongst the flowers.

    Harry Potter Studio Tour

    A little mummy and son date to start off the Easter holidays. Grayson and I went to visit the Warner Bros Studios for the Harry Potter Tour. I only booked the ticket on Thursday morning for Friday afternoon, so got lucky with availability. The girls went off to hang out with Auntie Katie and their cousins, and off we went! Gray was so excited, and it was so nice to be spending some one to one time with him. Never an easy thing to do when a single mama of three! But it’s time that’s needed. On arrival I mentioned to the car park lady that Grayson had autism /…
