The Weekly Bits #2

Another week has just flown by and it means it's time for another weekly vlog! I'm a little bit happier with this one, I'm definitely getting into the swing of things so I hope you enjoy. 

This week was mainly spent enjoying the sunshine by going for walks, playing in the snow (we finally got a tiny bit of the white stuff!), seeing amazing baby news and Henry and Darcie playing lots together (which was a highlight for me!).

Mother & Daughter Spring Look

We may have had snow a few nights ago, but my thoughts are firmly set on spring. Daffodils are peeping through, the evenings are getting lighter and spring feels like it's just that little bit closer. With that in mind, my thoughts (as usual) turn to our spring wardrobes. We're not in any dire need of a huge clothing haul, but I would like to get a few staple pieces to see us through. Now Darcie is getting older I like the idea of having slightly matching outfits. Some may think it's cheesy, I think it's pure brilliance!

Things to Do on Mother's Day

One of the first events of the year which signals spring is on its way, is Mother’s Day, a day to cherish and enjoy being spoilt by our little bundles of joy. 

The shops are already full of spring blooms, with rosy red tulips and bright yellow daffodils decorating store fronts, drawing us in with pretty bunches ready to be presented to Mum come Mother’s Day morning. Preferably served with a warm cuppa and breakfast in bed, after a lie in of course! 

Mother’s Day isn’t about large, grand gifts but about the small gestures which allow us to revel in the moment about just how loved we are, spending the day with loved ones, and whether you want to enjoy your special Sunday relaxing or give a hint to someone about what you want to do these ideas should help you plan the perfect day.

Henry's at Five Months

My handsome little man is five months old and he has seemingly changed so much this month! So let's jump into his update and fill you in on what he's been getting up to.

This month Henry experienced his first taste of solid food. He had been trying to grab food out of our hands for a little while so we decided to try him on puree's. We always said that we would try and wait till he was six months, but this little chap had his own ideas and was clearly ready. Not all babies are text book so I know I'm comfortable with our decision. We have been making our own puree's and he's had a couple of the pouches too (they're fab for on the go!) and he has tried a lot of different fruit and veg. There hasn't been anything he dislikes so, so far so good!.

The Weekly Bits #1

I have just published my first weekly vlog and I feel it was a bit of a flop! How these big vloggers manage it all I'll never know! But, I've given it a good go and it's just some snippets of our week. I'm hoping to do this on a regular basis, possibly not every week - but I will try my best. I have decided to call it The Weekly Bits because I want it to be little moments of our week, not necessarily a full on weekly vlog (which I tried and failed this week!). I hope you enjoy our vlog, I'm hoping to try and improve my vlogging skills as the weeks go on! 

Future Proofing Your Home

I mentioned at the beginning of the year that we have some DIY plans for 2016. These have already started with our garden plans getting underway, a summer house is being installed in a few weeks and to say I'm excited is an understatement! We've waited a long time to try and get our garden organised, so I'm really pleased to get things going.

We're planning on having a summer house to store the bikes and the kids garden toys - all of which are currently cluttering our under stairs cupboard! It will also be a place to relax and watch the kids play. I'm looking forward to getting my fingers green and making our garden a little piece of heaven!

I have done a quick tour of Henry's small but perfectly formed room if you fancy taking a peek! It's one of my favourtie rooms in the house, so calming and relaxing!

Things you don't expect when you're expecting

You may or may not know, my daughter's birth story it wasn't the magical picture that people had tried to paint it would be. Having said that, I did have a beautiful birth experience with my son Henry.

A long time ago, I originally wrote this post to share with you the things you were not expecting when you're expecting and I thought it might be nice to share it again!
