THE JOYS OF BLOGGING | SARCASM INSERTED HERE

When i started up my blog, i had wanted it to be an online diary - i use to love keeping a written diary when i was younger, and had them throughout the years, up until my teens.

For the past year i have dedicated a lot of time ( and typing ) into my blog, and i am so happy with where i am at now. So much so, 2018 is the year i become self employed with it! Fingers crossed.

If you haven't followed me long, then you will not be familiar with 'the joys of blogging' - it is my catch phrase when i am feeling the strain, the strain on my hands.

BLADE AND ROSE | REVIEW

One thing i love doing is finding unusual clothing pieces for Nila's wardrobe, the quirkier the better to be honest and made by an entrepreneur then i am totally sold!.

I came across a brand called Blade And Rose, which was set up by a lovely lady named Amanda whilst on maternity leave. She had come up with the name by using her childrens middle names which is super cute.The British clothing brand specialise in leggings and clothing accessories.

CHRISTMAS 2017

Merry Christmas Everyone!! :)

I hope you have had a lovely day . Christmas didn’t go as We had hoped . The girls woke up and we had snuggles in bed whilst they opened their present Santa left on their bed . Alessia felt hot and had a slight temperature so we gave her some calpol and she seemed fine . Downstairs we tucked into presents and had lots of happy faces with their gifts - and mine! , I got a canon g7x Mark ii, if you watch our Christmas Vlog you will see I cried my eyes out ! and I am not a pretty crying that’s for sure!.

Now there is no secret that i am a complete lushaholic, yes i do realise i have probably made that word up, but it is true.I absolutely love Lush.

MAKING ROOM FOR THREE CHILDREN

If you have been following me for a while then you will know we recently added to our family and have another little bundle of cuteness Baby Nila.

Having three children in a small three bedroom house can be somewhat cramped and unfortunately the bedrooms are just not big enough for the children to share , especially with the amount of toys they have!.

SALT DOUGH FUN

Over the weekend we had tons of snow! It is really starting to feel christmassy now and i can not wait! I decided to make some salt dough and make an afternoon of it. To be honest, i don't think i have made salt dough for years, since Kadiann was little, so the girls were really excited to get stuck in!

FINDING THE RIGHT GUITAR TUTOR | BIDVINE

Alessia has always loved guitars. Even when she was little she would pretend anything was a guitar and act out a performance for us after dinner. She has recently had a few taster lessons at school as well as being taught how to play the ukulele for an assembly for the parents.

DRIBBLE BUBBS REVIEW

I honestly believe that babies should live in sleepsuit for the first 6 months of their life . They are tiny, fragile little humans and faffing about stessing them in little outfits is a no go for me , give me sleepsuits any day! .

One brand for sleep-suits that I absolutely love is Dribble Bubbs . They have the most cutest and Perfect sleep-suits I have ever seen.Designed with tons of practical features,they actually call them cosy grows and they are super cosy.

OUTDOOR PLAY | ESP

Keeping our children healthy and happy is very important to us as parents. Making sure they have a balanced diet and also get enough exercise and fresh air in them little lungs.

I have always encouraged the girls to spend as much time in the garden during the summer months and now, when winter kicks in, we wrap up warm, pack a flask of hot chocolate and head out for a walk along the tracks by our home. There is no excuse :)

COSY PJS FOR XMAS ! | HUNKEMOLLER


If there is one thing that is definitely on your list when it comes to Christmas and the winter months then it has got to be some cosy PJ's.

We all love new sleepwear this time of year so when Hunkemellor reached out and asked if Kadiann  wanted to pick out a new pair of pyjamas, she jumped at the chance.

WEEKEND FUN ONLINE

The weekends are my absolute favourite, no school runs- getting up and fluttering about with baby Nila and the older two girls for school. It is bliss!

I also love that Scott is at home in the evenings,he works until 9.30pm Monday to Friday and by the time he gets home at 10pm  i am shattered and there is no way you are keeping me up for movies or even a chat, i am far away in the land of nod! :)
