At Home With The Boys
Welcome to our family blog.
A few years ago (2011) I gave up my job to look after our two boys. Whilst it was a big step, there has been nothing more rewarding than seeing and being with them as they grow up.
Once our youngest went to preschool, I had a bit more time on my hands, so I started blogging and At Home With The Boys is the result.
My main objection was to keep track of all the things we get up to as the boys get older, however, I also like sharing and researching so I hope you find some of the posts informative.
We are also a PR friendly site so if you wish to get in touch with regards to writing a review or trying out child/family friendly products, then please feel free to contact us.
