Posted @withregram • @emilycoxhead Please, just be kind. 😣💔 Absolutely heartbreaking news about Caroline Flack. I’d say I can’t believe it but sadly, I can. No one person should ever have to deal with the kind of onslaught of abuse from every angle that she received. The press and trolls on social media needs a fucking massive shift. I don’t know how many people need to take their own life for something to change but things can’t carry on this way. The way people prey on anyone on here/in the press but especially those so vulnerable is just sickening. My thoughts are with Caroline’s family and friends, I can’t imagine what they’re going through right now.

We don’t drive, so we spend a lot of time on buses and trains. It’s still exciting for the kids to be on a bus, and the novelty shows no signs of slowing.

Since Christmas, we’ve decided to make more trips without a buggy. It was daunting at first, but it is making our public transport trips so much easier!

I do miss having something to hang my bag off of, though... #mumslife #ukmummy #mumsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodthroughInstagram #ukparentblogger #pblogger #parentblogger #ukparentbloggers #motherofboys #snaphappybritmums #30plusblogger #publictransportparenting

I've got into the habit of reading a couple of pages of this book every night to the kids before they go to sleep. In all honesty, it's more for me than them. I'm learning loads!

Very impressed with Father Christmas at Fred’s school fair this year! A little train ride, then off to meet the big man himself. He stood proudly in front of Santa and asked for a train for Christmas (he was very specific about the make and model!) Fred keeps correcting me whenever I say Father Christmas, as apparently he’s Santa Claus!

What is he called in your house? Father Christmas or Santa Claus?

Posted @withrepost • @haveanicedayy_ Be proud of yourself! For accomplishing that thing you’ve been wanting to accomplish! For not checking IG 20 times today! Or for not screaming at the lady who doesn’t understand personal space when standing in line at the airport and kept touching you on accident!!!!! Yeah :) What are you proud of today?

Getting to take the class teddy home for the night is a BIG DEAL.

He’s waited for this moment since the beginning of term, and watched child after child take Paddington home with them. The pure joy on his face when he got to bring him home was lovely to see. “MUMMY! I’VE GOT PADDINGTON!!!” I love this photo of him pretending to read a book to him. 😍 Mummy had to write in Paddington’s adventure book what a fun time he had (he ate marmalade sandwiches and watched Paddington 2, if you’re interested)

Who’s your class teddy? Have they come home with you yet? Do you feel the pressure?

Its a motivational t shirt kind of day today... and no better motivators than the Spice Girls!

Tommy flat out refused to sleep in his own best last night, which meant him sleeping in our bed. It’s very rare that he wants company like that, so I lapped it up!

Shame it turns out he’s a proper wriggler in bed (whilst staying completely asleep) which meant very little sleep for mummy and daddy.

Pass me the coffee!! #mumslife #ukmummy #mummyblogger #mumsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodthroughInstagram #ukparentblogger #pblogger #parentblogger #ukparentbloggers #motherofboys #snaphappybritmums #30plusblogger #spiceupyourlife #cawffee

Sometimes Instagram can get a bit toxic, so I urge people to choose kindness! As the old saying goes “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!” #mumslife #ukmummy #mummyblogger #mumsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodthroughInstagram #ukparentblogger #pblogger #parentblogger #ukparentbloggers #motherofboys #snaphappybritmums #30plusblogger #choosekindness #bekind

Park life 🌳

We’re lucky to have a nice park a short walk away from us. But we still don’t take advantage of it that much. I’m quite nervous about my 2 year old going on climbing frames etc that are simply too big for him. He’s brave, and tends to plunge headfirst into things (metaphorically and literally). So I tend to spend my time in the playground anxiously hovering whilst he tries his latest daredevil stunt.

This is the best bit. Them sitting down and having a snack. Gives my heart a rest too.

This is a favourite in our house - the illustrations by @rebecca_a_cobb are just gorgeous, and it’s hard to beat a Julia Donaldson rhyming story, isn’t it? It’s all about a bear who gets lost, and ends up on quite an adventure!
Bedtimes are a joint effort in this house - sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s Daddy. But they always have a story.

Let me know your book recommendations for kids under 5 in the comments!

What a way to spend one of the last days of summer - wine tasting @jeroboams_walton_street with @katie.jayne.90. It was so much fun - not stuffy or pretentious at all. Lovely wine, in relaxed surroundings, with cool company. And we got to polish off the bottles at the end of the session so, pretty perfect really.🍷 Full review with booking details coming to the blog this weekend!

Me and my eldest had a lovely day together the day before he started school. We got on a train (his favourite) and headed to the @ltmuseum. As a massive fan of all things transport, it’s always a winner for him. Then we stuffed our faces at the all-you-can-eat buffet at @pizzahutuk on The Strand.

And then yesterday he started school! Walked in like a boss, happy as you like.

He’s a big boy now!

This has made me think about how much of him I show online. I’ve always shown his face on here, and on the blog too. But now he’s getting older, I feel more hesitant about it; he’s out in the big wide world now, not in our little cocoon.

What do you do? Do you show your child’s face online?

Life is better when you're laughing

Absolutely it is! Watching Instagram Stories makes me laugh! There are some truly hilarious people on there (whether they mean to be or not...) And did you know that frequent and whole-hearted laughter can actually help your body to fight off harmful diseases? By altering the levels of cortisol in your body, laughing lowers our levels of stress and fights off things that might be harmful to us

So life really is better when you're laughing!

Whose Instagram Stories make you laugh? Tag them in the comments! I’d love to find new people to brighten my day!
