My Year in Pictures

Image
I can't believe we are at the end of another year but I certainly am looking towards a fresh new page in 2017. We have not had the best year and we have also lost some amazingly talented celebrities too. But I want to share a few pictures that have made my year the best it could be. January Our little of snow that we had at the beginning of the year....It literally lasted half a day but we enjoyed it while it lasted February I completed my first (and only in the end) of my new years resolutions and passed my driving test. This was my second attempt and only got 5 minors. March March came Easter and Liam's 25th birthday, it was a pretty uneventful time but we did make some amazing nest cakes. April This month was the month that I finally had use of a car and wanted to us it. We took a few drives out and had some lovely days together. May We finally got some lovely weather and we took the chance to have a family BBQ for Lil's ...

I thought that I would do a picture post on the 1st of every month to reflect on the month just gone. We have had a busy month with a lot happening and didn't actually realise how much we had done. I have picked 6 pictures, some may have been in other post but sone are just of the month gone by. Going from left to right.. 1. This is when Lil's had her latest hair cut, she looks so grown up with a full fringe BUT I do have to reset it every morning lol. 2. A trip to the pafk witg a picnic, we had a good few hours at this park, the play park is amazing and there's so much to do. 3. Our little park outside our flat. She never liked these swings in the pasy but they have just replaced it and she has now decided she loves them. 4. National picnic week was this month and we took full advantage of this with pretty.much having a pjcnic a day, even if ut was just on our front room floor. 5. Lil's got her first Lego friends set this month and s...

Mummy + Me • June 2016

Image
How is it possible that I am writing my June Mummy + me. We have had a busy month full on appointments, an interview and sorting stuff out. Sadly I haven't taken many pictures of both us us this month but this one makes me smule so much, her smile just lightens up my day. This month we haven't had the best weather again so a lot of time has been a lot of indoor play and just enjoying each others company. She can now write her name herself, which makes me so proud and can almost count to 25 which is made. The time we did enjoy outside was either enjoying the sun (when it shone)at the park with a picnic and also we attended our local Armed Forces Day which was a lovely afternoon out. As of today we just have three weeks left of school runs before having my girl home for the summer holidays, I seriously cannot wait, but don't want to eish time away yet haha. How was June for you? It was certainly better than recent months for us. xXx 

Mummy + Me • April 2016

Image
This my first Mummy and me post, I have wanted to write these for a while but have never gotton round to it. I have always wanted to document my little girls life from day one and filmed weekly pregnancy vlogs too. We have been adverntuing out more with me having a car, then when getting back home Lil's love to wrap up in her dressing gown for some snuggles. This month has been a testing month with extra expenses and illnesses going round.  Now its the end of the month and we are MEANT to be going away camping and watching racing but have a broken car and two out of the three of us is ill. Hopefully all will be well by then.  The threenager has really come out in Lilly in the past couple of months with her sulking over silly things, but she has started listening at nursery better which makes me super happy and proud of her.  xXx

A Trip to Fairlight Country Park

Image
It is coming to the end of the Easter school break so want to make the most of the last few days with her, especially now I have a car to take her places.  Yesterday I decided to take Lil's on a trip to Fairlight Country Park which isn't to far from us luckily.  The Country park is a beautiful place which so many little trails that we can take. The first trail we took goes straight past the Fairlight coastguard station with the radar. The trail then goes off towards the cliffs, the view from up there is just beautiful. On a good clear day you can actually see over to Dieppe, France. We then took the long walk back up the hill to the carpark where we took the second trail up. This trail took us though to the old quarry, this looks like something out of a movie as it is so surreal. The trail took us down some man made and some natural steps down in the the main part, once down the steps we were surrounded by the rocks from the quarry.  We then headed back a...

My week in pictures | 7th - 13th September

Image
A very eventful week for me to share. As you may have read I passed my theory test on Monday. I was so happy yet so surprised.  After I passed my test I met with Lilly's Nanny and grandad as they looked after her. We then went down the park together. I found this tree quite fascinating the way the trunk twisted and the branches grew out in sections. Look at this little princess, I seriously cannot believe she turns three tomorrow. She is still not asleep but I think its because she is excited for the next couple of days. I can see me being an emotional wreck lol. Lastly I wanted to share my birthday present from my mother in law, she knows me way to well. A big bundle of Yankee candle samplers and two cute little jars for them too. I only picked then up yesterday, hence the picture in today's blog. I hope you enjoy these posts, I am so excited for the coming week but as I said I know I am going to be an emotional wreck. xXx

My week in pictures | 31st Aug - 6th Sept

Image
Another week has passed and I am another year older lol. It was my birthday yesterday and was truely spoilt :) I feel very lucky. Last Monday me and Lilly played with her duplo and made a really cool island for Jake and Peter from Jake and the Neverland pirates, We then went on to play for a bit finding the treasure and fighting off the crocodile. After she also made a chicken out if duplo which was amazing. During the week we went out and had icecream, two scoops of chocolate and a scoop of toffee. Lilly was so small in the chair that she actually sat on the table at the end to reach the bbotto, bless her. We ended up sharing as there was a lot of ice cream there for her to eat.  As I said at the beginning it was my birthday yesterday and I was spoilt but everyone. Liam didn't know what to get me so he took me shopping for a few bits, I got some lush bathbombs and some clothes from Primark too, and the sprinkle of glitter 2016 diary. We then stopped at...

My Week in Pictures | 23rd - 30th August

Image
Hello, another post of my week in pictures and I start off which looks like it should be winter. The weather had been crazy this summer and on this particular day it was cold and raining so we opted for a cosy warm coat that my aren't brought her. She looks so grown up in it though. The next picture makes her look even more grown up in the bath robe, cleaning her teeth. A couple of months back I wrote a post about the  Aquafresh Brush time app  which she has been using daily and absolutely loves it. My little girl is so talented, she created this 'frog' out of play doh all by herself. I was folding washing and she said look at my frog mummy. I was so surprised I actually welled up.  Today she has done the same thing by making a bird out of duplo all by herself, very proud mummy and daddy today. We were serving for munch in Sainsbury's the other day and came across an area full of American bit such as the strange M...

My week in pictures | 16th - 23rd August

Image
My first one of these and not a lot of pictures to share so I did add last Sunday too. We decided to go and take Nanny's dog buddy for a walk, the view from our local country park is beautiful and you can actually see France some times.  Everytime we asked Buddy to stop and wait Lilly would sit her hum down and wait to. She looked so cute hidden in the grass. I noticed that I didn't have a lot of pictures with my sidekick lately so I got my phone out and did some silly selfie with her. She pulls the funniest face but this was my favourite picture of us both. Lastly I have had a splitting headache for the past two day so my wonderful other half took me to the shop for some paracetamol and lucozade and also picked up Girl Online for me too. I am so happy to actually have my hands on this book and cannot wait to start reading it.  I know there's not a lot of pictured but I would like to make this a weekly thing so keep and eye ...

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...
