Toddler Outfit | So grown up

Image
A bit of clothes shopping and came across these bargains in the sale. I could not resist.  Her t-shirt is from peacocks and came as a set of two for just £4 which I thought was a pretty good price. The other top was a long sleeved pink ans white top. Her jeans are from H&M, which if you read my blog you'll know I've been loving. These were marked as £7.99 down to £5 but only got charged £4 so pretty good price.  I think she looks so grown up in jeans and the t-shirt is just so cute.  xXx

Toddler outfit of the day | Spring day

Image
I thought Lilly looked adorable in this outfit so I thought that I would share the outfit with you all. We took a trip out just to the village the other day where I got this snap of her in the daffodils.  Her lovely sun hat is a handmade one we picked up last year from  rural past times . It's very spring/summer looking with daisies all over it and it finally fits her better. Her top is from a pack of three that we got from the Morrison's nutmeg range of clothing. I think that the stripes make her look more grown up, but I also think they suit her very well. The trousers we just £2.50 ones from H&M a while back, the white legging go well with the striped top and keep her legs cooler than a dark colour would have. Lastly are her shoes which again are from H&M. I am in love with them and wish I had a pair myself. They are pink converse style shoes which seems to go with pretty much every outfit she has. I cannot believe how much my little girl...

Our new camera

Image
Last month we took the leap and brought our new camera. We went for the Samsung WB1100F 16.2 megapixal bridge camera with 35x zoom. So far we have been suprisingly pleased with it. We have taken a couple of ventures out just to try out the camera.  You can connect this camera to your phone via an app which is unbelievably simple to use, which means you can share you photos instantly.  It also has photo editing built in. I personally have not tried it but my other half said it was pretty easy to use what it had there.  It also has a burst shot feature which we have not tried yet but will hopefully do soon. These are a few shots we have captured so far. A beautiful, very foggy sunset. Theres usually buildings there. Lol An artistic shot of mine when we first got the camera. This picture is taken pretty much at full zoom from a good 1/2 mile away. I seriously cannot believe how clear this picture is.  I have fal...

What's in Lillys bag | Holiday edition

Image
It's just three weeks till we take our holiday to Devon Cliffs in Exmouth and I thought I would share what I am taking in Lillys backpack for our journey to our park. I will start with the usual things, so nappies/dry like me, wipes, outfits, snacks and drink. This is a must have just to be prepared for any journey out. The extra bits that I am taking are either to keep her amused or for comfort.  I have a small colouring book and two packs of crayons for when we get to camp. She loves colouring and I found this cute book that would fit in her backpack. I then have some small books to fit in there that I know she likes including Elmers parade, The dinosaur that pooped a lot and Rusty's train ride.  I then have my Samsung galaxy tab 2 loaded with apps for her. I also will be adding music for her and downloading some tv programmes from BBC Iplayer. Lastly we have her bunny and sheepy with us which she has in bed with her every single night.  ...

Easter crafts

Image
Easter is again upon us so I thought we would have an afternoon of crafts. We had lots of different bits from Peppa pig print outs to DIY decorations I picked up last year. Lilly really enjoyed the variety of things that I got out, and loved the fact that there was more than just colouring. We had things to glue and things to put on. Lilly also like filling the purple egg box with the play eggs, I'm thinking of doing her Easter lunch Iin the box to make it extra special. Lilly loved making her crown the most, glueing the eggs where she wanted them and making  it her own. I am really proud of how long she kept her attention to the crafts. What bits are you doing with your little ones?  xXx

Easter basket 2015

Image
I have done another Easter basket this year for Lilly pops. I love the idea of these and I believe that they make it more exciting for the child themselves. It also means that you can buy other things rather than just chocolate. We have afew of the same things from last year, such as her bouncing bunny, the finger puppets and the personalized egg from  beebies  but we have added some items too So this year we have a very cute drinking cup with chicks and eggs on, it have a swirly straw too and this was from poundland. we then have an Easter book for us to read from  world of books .We then just have a mini Lyndt bunny and a Cadbury's head egg. I really enjoy doing these for Lilly and I hopes she enjoys it too. xXx 

Chocolate nests and Easter bonnet

Image
We have been busy making chocolate nests and deets.  Firstly we made the chocolate nests with chicks from poundland and mini eggs from Aldi. There super easy to make and Lilly loved decorating them.  We then took a trip to Tesco and I managed to pick up Lilly an Easter bonnet and a few decorative things for £1 each. I also used a couple of chicks from after eating a cake each. Lilly chose the ribbon to use and stuck the stickers on, the stickers have two layers and pop out a bit which make them look better when stuck on. We then stuck two chicks through the mesh to add some more things. I think Lilly has enjoyed these Easter tasks. We have another blog post of some crafts we did coming to. xXx
