Happy new year, I hope that 2015 brings you all that you wish for! I am excited to say that we have a lot of plans this year I really hope that it is better than the end of last year! We have a lot of saving ti do and a lot of work to do. 1. We are going to TRY to save for a deposit for a new place. We would like a family home where we can feel at home. 2. We have a family holiday in May so the countdown until that has started and will be writing lists and planning soon. 3. We may be getting married, that sounds scary as hell lol but very exciting. If we are we have a lot of planning for this. 4. I'm am going to try and be a little bit more healthy, vitamins, Workouts, more water, remember my medicine.

2nd Birthday Ideas

Image
This year we actually have a plan and theme. We are hoping to have a family BBQ weather permitting with the theme of Minnie mouse. This is the beautiful cake that Liam is going to attempt to replicate. He is a good cake maker so it shouldn't be too hard. It is a beautiful cake and will looking beautiful as a centre piece to the table. Hopefully she will be able to blow her candles out this year. I rarely use pintrest but now have a board on there specifically for her party now with simple ideas to make it a brilliant party. There are also so many print outs available so will be able to decorate quite easily. I especially like the ketchup and mustard bottles as it is a brilliant idea for out BBQ. We hope that this will be Lillys outfit for her party. We were very lucky to have won a competiton to win a custom dress of our choice. we chose a lilac one like the picture above. I hope this will be with us before her birthday, if not we do have a second outfit we c...

2nd Birthday Presents

Image
Here are the main things that we have brought Lilly for her birthday. We have a few smaller bits too. Firstly is the Peppa Pig cook n play kitchen. This will be her main present, It is battery opperated with sounds and aslo includes utensils and some food. Lilly loves pretend cooking and watching me cook so Liam (Daddy) thought it was perfect for her. Next is the large talking Upsy Daisy from In the night garden, a favourite of Lillys and her favourite character. She has phrases from the show and it also soft enough for her to cuddle in bed if she wished to.  These are the Early learning centre wooden pot and pan set, as you can see it also comes with food and utensils. I thought this was too cute to miss, had it a few months now. She can also learn to cut up the fish as its velcro. Lastly are the pretend and play cupcake set from Sainsburys. These were on offer for like £3 so couldn't resist. I love wooden toys for children as they, in my eyes, ar...

Bluereef aquarium and Fishermans museum

Image
We had a great family day out at our local aquarium,  Bluereef, we also had a look around the fisherman's museum. Another exciting day to share with you! Lilly was so unsure at first, especially of the big things such as this lobster.  Lilly was a little calmer with these as they kind of have a face from underneath, they kept poking their heads up to say hi as we told her. How strange but cute was this fish, came straight to the glass, looked straight at me and then slowly swam off. So many weird and wonderful sea creatures. My favourite part has to be the tunnel with fish swimming straight above your head including rays and sharks. I could stand there all day long and watch them. Such a beautiful peaceful place The pricing, in my opinion was a little steep costing £23 for three adults booking online, Lilly goes free till aged 4. It only took us 45 minutes to go around and we didnt rush.  Lastly is a rare photo of the thre...

Rural Past Times

Image
We thought that we would take a trip to Rural past times this year, it was only a 10 minute drive away.  Here are a few snaps from today. Lilly loved the little tikes car her cousin had out there. These beautiful shire horses, so tall and look so strong, Lilly had never seen a horse up close before. This is an amazing music stand which plays music and had some visible moving parts, such a beautiful example of the past. Nanny brought her a lovely new hat from one of the handmade stands, and we found this beautiful bench carved out with owls. Lilly met her 2nd cousin today, they had lots of fun playing together in the sand and the car, it was so adorable. I think that it tired Lilly out as she went to sleep no trouble bless her. She has been spoilt and came home with the new hat, a shape sorter and an inflatable minnie mouse. All in all a wonderful day :)  xx
