Pinterest Party - Jubilee Celebrations


This weeks theme for Moors Mummy's Pinterest Party is ... 
Jubilee Celebrations.

I have chosen a picture of Kate Middleton for this weeks theme. 
I don't care what any of the papers say I think she looked amazing and always does for that matter. As for the comment about her upstaging the Queen, I mean really where do they find these journalist. (The Daily Mail & here)
You keep doing what you are doing Kate and don't listen to them.

So your turn now, go on to Pinterest and find your Jubilee Celebration photo and join in the fun at Moors Mummy's blog .

10 Things My Kids Do That Makes Me Smile

1) When they get into our bed in the morning and fight over who gets to cuddle me first.

2) The way my daughter now thinks that horses are called 'see saws' because she has a rocking horse at home and when she sits on it we sing 'see saw, see saw'.

3) Hearing them both belly laughing together in the garden while they are playing.

4) The way my 19 month old tries to talk her way out of trouble in her toddler babble when you tell her off.

5) When we drop Daddy off at the pub and my son says "Daddy has gone to have some juice and do some colouring" because that is what he does when he goes to the pub with us.

6) The way my daughter farts and then looks around as if to say 'where the hell did that come from?'

7)  The way my son talks from the minute he gets up to the minute he goes to bed and then sometimes even in his sleep.

8) How it makes their day when I do a simple thing like get a tube of bubbles out.

9) When I watch my 3 year old running round the garden with a rolled up magazine trying to swat every bug that flies by.

10) When I secretly catch them having cuddles together.





So what about you, what things do your little ones do that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face?

Joe Browns School Run Challenge

I have just come across the Joe Browns School Run Competition and I just had to enter. 
I lovvveee Joe Browns clothes, they are by far my favourite brand. Their clothes just some up my style and I would literally wear everything in the catalogue. The OH laughs at me because I get all excited when the latest catalogue comes through the door, like a child on christmas morning. I sit there with it and start to circle all of the things that I want, subtle hints for the OH again, the trouble is I end up circling everything.

So back to the competition. You have to create an outfit from the products on the website (something I do all the time anyway) that you would wear on the school run and then blog about it and why you have chosen it.
So here is my entry...

 Lovely Lace Trim Vest £12.95
Aviator Sunglasses £9.95


 Wacky Wooden Necklace £17.95    
                                                     

 Worn in Trousers £37.95
 
Antique Rose Floral Lace Up £9.95

So I love this outfit and think it would be perfect for the school run because it's not to dressy but it is still really stylish and it's all of my favourite colours, Bonus! The top is perfect because it covers up any unsightly wobbly bits and the glasses are great to hide a face free of make up (there's just no time in the morning).

That is just one of the outfits I would chose, the other products I really love include...






 Your turn now, what would you chose to wear? http://www.joebrowns.co.uk



Potty Fever - Day 7

Well we have done a whole week of potty training and it was all going so well until today! 
H seems to have now gone backwards and I've lost count of the amount of clean shorts and pants that he's got through today. 
I don't know whether it was the heat getting to him or the fact that he was a bit distracted today but it was by far the worst day yet.
I almost gave in a put a nappy on him when it got to the point where I ran out of clean clothes for him. That and the fact that I swear I can smell wee everywhere I go. Think I've got potty fever but I've come this far I must persevere!
I now just feel totally deflated because he was doing so well and surely it's meant to get easier not harder?
Oh well hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, well here's hoping x

The Gallery - Sunshine

So this weeks theme for The Gallery is Sunshine. 
Well I don't know about you but we've had plently of that down here the last couple of weeks, it's been ace! 
I can feel my serotonin levels increasing already, (which had seriously depleted with the never ending Winter which we've seemed to of had this year).

My entry this week isn't a picture of the sun or the sun shinning onto something but rather something that happens when the sun is out and which is a source of never ending amusment for little ones.


 To check out other amazing entries this week head over to Tara's blog at Sticky Fingers.


Bring out the Balloons

Today Lj attended her first birthday party without her big brother. She has been to parties before but only because H has been invited so she goes along as well. However the invite for this party was just for her. 

So I got her all dressed up in her pretty party dress (£10 from Tesco, Bargain!) dropped H at pre school and off we went. I think I was more excited than her.


When we got to the party she just sat on my lap and wouldn't move. She got down a few times if something caught her eye but was soon back in the comfort of my arms. I kept asking her if she wanted to get down and play but the only answer I got was "No No".
I've always thought she was quite a confident child because whenever we go anywhere she gets straight into it, playing with the toys that are on offer or chatting away in her toodler babble to the other children. What I have now realised is that she is confident but only when her big brother is there to show her the way.

Anyway the time came to leave, it was a lovely party which she spent more time observing than participating in and that was Lj's first experience of a party without her brother. Although all of that watching must have worn her out because she fell asleep straight away in the car, clutching the contents of her party bag.
