It's been a busy time for us recently, with Boris' birthday followed by Boris and Biscuit's Baptisms last week and the usual hecticness (is that a word?) that is involved with life and two small children so I am slow of the mark with March planning. Things have been stressful at times and I have wished I had more help at home so I could enjoy life more instead of always feeling rushed and like I am always doing chores. As you know, being on top of things isn't one of my strongest points so although I am trying to be organised, recently things have got a bit overwhelming. Hopefully you can forgive the tardiness of my March planning but here it is. (As with February, some of these activities are carried over from last month because we didn't get time to do them.)
