We had a nice day together yesterday. I had a bad

We had a nice day together yesterday. I had a bad head and a very sore arm, so I asked the kiddies to help me with the dog walk. It was nice to all walk together, it’s felt a long time since we’ve done that.

It’s made me long for those summer nights, when there are no clubs, and we can walk for miles in the hazy sunshine. We do it most summer evenings. It doesn’t feel like it, but it isn’t far away.

Today marks the day when we can all go inside to eat and I am so excited. Daddy and I are going on a date Saturday night, for the first time in nearly a year. It’s been a long time coming.

The kids can’t wait to stay at their grandparents either, as sleepovers are now allowed!

I think I might go to the garden centre and enjoy a coffee in the tearoom this week... 🪴

Do you have any plans with the lockdown easing taking an extra step today?

A little throwback to when we could travel, eat Al

A little throwback to when we could travel, eat Al Fresco whilst watching the sunset and swim all day long. This photo is from our holiday to Ibiza when Isla was just 2 months old.

She was such a dinky baby and she was absolutely perfect on this trip. Flight, heat and change of time zones didn’t phase her. She got lots of attention too!

Whenever we celebrate Islas birthday it always make me think of this holiday. It was a nice way to unwind after the ordeal of giving birth. I’m lucky that Hubby entertained Noah all day so Isla and I could snooze!

I am really quite desperate for some sun and an all inclusive...

Has anyone booked a summer trip to Portugal? Or are you holding fire?

May your days be filled with smiles and fun... ...

May your days be filled with smiles and fun...
...be colourful and shine with sun!

There’s something about the pops of colour that make me feel happy. When I look through my feed, I used to feel like it didn’t have a theme. I didn’t have a set way with photos. But overtime I’ve come to love this... I don’t have a particular coloured theme, or particular style... I’m just me. Just us. I share a variety of things and on the whole I enhance the colour.

I love big bold landscapes, smiling faces and a bit of creativity. I’m that person that will lie down on a muddy floor to get the right shot!

Colour seems to make me feel happy. But I do love the odd monochrome or sepia shot too!

What’s your favourite kind of photo?

Being around nature definitely improves my mood. Especially a picturesque sunset walk, with orange hues covering everything in sight.

I love flowers, fields of flowers is much better of course, I can’t help but stop to snap the kiddies enjoying and exploring. The rape seed fields are looking fabulous at the moment, the rain has brought out the yellow and they are so pretty.

As it’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek and the theme is nature; I thought this photo was quite apt. It makes me smile. And I hope it makes someone else smile.

Do you stop and take photos when you pass a beautiful landscape?

ᵃᵈ We love @hellofreshuk in the Constant house

ᵃᵈ We love @hellofreshuk in the Constant household, because it’s extremely convenient, has a lot of choice and it’s so easy to cook the recipes that even I can do it!

One of the major benefits for me is that I can cook a healthy and speedy supper for the family without any stress or food waste. That’s because you are sent the exact ingredients you need for your recipes and amount of people. The only thing you need for yourself is water for sauces... you even get the little tubs of herbs and stocks.

This recipe is one of my favourites; creamy truffle and mushroom rigatoni with walnuts and the kids enjoyed this a lot too. I love truffles! Out of the 32 recipes you can choose each week, I would say at least 8-9 of them are vegetarian. Which is perfect for me! I’ve been vegetarian for over 5 years now and I’m still surprised at the delicious recipes I keep discovering.

Did you know it’s National Vegetarian Week this week? Have you tried a meat free meal?

We have been working on our home ever since we mov

We have been working on our home ever since we moved in, 2 years ago. It’s been a long journey, but lots of fun. This room is quite unrecognisable from 2 years ago. You can see the transformation in the story highlights and on my blog.

We’ve created Desk space for both kids now, giving them space to do homework and Isla loves to sit and paint her nails too. I love this desk in Islas room; it’s a great size and I love the colour.

This year we need to make 2 offices; Hubby needs one and so do I. I’m hoping to work from home, at least 99% of the time post Covid and Hubby is working from home 3 days a week too.

Office 1 will be a garage conversion; accessed by the utility room and we’re keeping the garage as storage. We have an extra long garage so hoping to keep a decent amount of storage too. This will be hubby’s space.

Office 2 will be where our lean to currently is. I want it to be a room with walls and a sky light, somewhere I can work all year around and be able to see into the garden.

I’m currently on a tiny desk in the corner of the dining room and Hubby has made an office area in our bedroom. Neither are ideal. So it’s all go with office renovations.

Do you have any ideas on how to make our 2 offices, on a budget? ⁣

Just incase you missed it, in one week we can:

🫂 Hug, hug, hug (where safe to do so)
🫂 Meet up inside, following the rule of 6 or 2 households
🫂 Overnight stays are allowed with the above rules
🫂 Eat inside restaurants or pubs (which means it’ll be absolutely stunning weather from Monday)
🫂 Cinemas and soft play can open

It’s all very exciting. The kids cant wait to stay at their grandparents and cinemas and soft plays sounds amazing!

Whose booked a meal for the weekend after the 17th?

This is a photo from our pit stop at the yellow fields. I adore these fields and this photo makes me smile. It’s not a perfect pose, squished faces but pure “in the moment”.

Happiest of birthdays to my baby girl, a whole 9 y

Happiest of birthdays to my baby girl, a whole 9 years old today. I will never forget her first day in this world.

I had to be induced. It worked very quickly to the point where the nurses didn’t realise I was telling the truth about my pains, as the machine didn’t show my contractions as very painful. They offered me a paracetamol. I remember giving Hubby the eyes as if to say “this will not be enough”.

I had a strong urge for a wee... they made me walk up the corridor as they didn’t realise I had gone into labour properly. Isla was born 10 minutes later much to my surprise.

They gave me a birthing ball and I bounced on it once and it felt so hugely uncomfortable. I hated it. On the second bounce I leapt onto the bed and there she was just moments later.

It was such a surreal situation as I had done it all and dealt with the pain quite well, without pain relief. She was born so quickly and she was the most dinky baby I’d ever seen.

It’s such a shame that after I gave birth I had the trauma of losing blood due to missing pieces of the placenta. I was devastated as I had made it through birth with no pain relief then ended up having surgery and an epidural 🤢.

She was only 5lbs at birth, she’s always been so tiny. She might be small but she has such a personality. Her dramatic entrance into the world certainly set the stage for Isla: she keeps us entertained. Every day.

We love you very much! 💜
