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.

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.

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!

It’s been a week since I was child free (and carefree!) in a windy Hunstanton for a friends wedding.

Being at the seaside without kids feels very weird - as we wandered through the arcades we kept seeing games that the kids would like to play, or rides they’d like. Watching other parents offering up 2ps and winning prizes for their little ones.

However!

It was very nice to be able to walk along the seafront without shouting “get away from the edge!” and to enjoy fish and chips overlooking the sea with a pint in peace. And to actually be able to chat to my husband! Rare when you have kids interrupting you by day, and you’re working on your business by night.

Who doesn’t love a blustery trip to the English seaside with the family?? This guy loves to paddle and, surprisingly, the water wasn’t that cold at all.

After eating fish and chips on the beach, crabbing, and winning toot in the amusements, we headed home with sand in our hair and happy memories in our hearts.

Just lovely.

Someone actually said this to me today, and I felt like I hadn’t heard it for such a long time. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Worry about the big stuff, yes (there is no escaping that!) but the small stuff... pft. Life is too short.

I find myself, particularly with my business, taking on a lot and worrying about every little thing (it’s my business, my baby). It takes someone else to say something like this to help out things back in perspective!

On Freddie’s last day of preschool, we gave him this book, and wrote a little message to him inside. We’ve read “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” to him every night since and, honestly, I get a bit teary each time! All about change, and seizing new opportunities, it’s fast becoming a favourite in this house!

Bedtimes is a joint effort in this house - sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s my husband. But they always have a story.

Over the summer holidays, I’m going to be sharing some of our favourite books. Let me know your book recommendations for kids under 5 in the comments!

At every opportunity, surround yourself with family, good food and cocktails! I always have the best time with these guys!

And we take loads of photos too, which I love! 😍

A few weeks ago, we were invited to @giraffesnaps to celebrate their collaboration with #horridhenry

Freddie has always loved books and being read to. He’s of an age where he knows some books so well, he can recite them from memory - so you’d be forgiven for thinking that he’s actually reading! This is his first experience of Horrid Henry (mine too) and we’re enjoying reading it together.

Did you know there’s a Giraffe in Victoria? It’s literally 3 minutes from the station, and it’s perfect if you’re going to the theatre.

Giraffe are always so accommodating to families - lots of colouring in available, and a good selection of kids meals (huge portions too) It’s such a shame that our local one in Bromley has closed! Looking forward to popping back to the Victoria one! Yummy food = happy kids. What more could you want?

Videos of this trip are in my highlights
