I can't believe it's the last day of January, although I am secretly a little bit happy about it too, as January isn't my favourite month of the year. It's often the time of year that we long to book a holiday and go and find some sunshine and a time of year that we really want to get outdoors but it feels too cold to. However, I have to say, this January hasn't been too bad at all. 

We've had lots of birthday celebrations which has meant lovely meals out and family time. We've also booked our flights and found a hotel for a holiday to Malta this year that Adam and I are going on just us to celebrate 20 years together and 10 years married. Adam's Mum has very kindly offered to look after the boys for 4 nights so that we can go and we're so grateful and excited! We've also booked two other really exciting trips for this year which we're going on with the boys. Plus we've got other dates in the diary for things to look forward to, including a trip to London this weekend for two nights. So this January has actually been pretty good!
