What a lovely chilled #bankholiday we’ve had today. It started with a dog walk, before it got too hot, I love this photo of my babies. Then we had breakfast in the garden, it was 17 degrees by 9am I think this morning. I mowed the lawn and cut the edges with my grass scissors 🤣 and set the paddling pool up. We’ve all spent the afternoon dipping in the pool, playing on the trampoline and even a little bit of crafts. This evening we carried on our Marvel fest, we’re doing the chronological story order (not the created order) and we’re up to Iron Man. It was brilliant. A great action movie. I’ve never seen any of the marvels. Until now. I’m so grateful for @disneyplusuk keeping it all in one place! Have you seen them? #mummyphotoaday

What a lovely chilled #bankholiday...

This evening we had a little family scoot around our town, with a very special mission in mind. My beautiful friend @gembro82 has started off a very long and colourful snake. The idea is you decorate a rock and add it to the snake. 🐍 Over the past 2 weeks its grown to over 400 rocks. We loved it. It’s quite moving seeing all of these rocks, #rainbow themed or character themed. It shows just how many children are sitting at home missing their friends and that interaction. It also demonstrates how we can support each other and work together through these daunting times. Do you have a #SnakeRock near you? Or, do you have something similar? #mummyphotoaday

Would you believe me when I tell you this was this morning? It was. It was directly in-between 2 rather scary looking rain clouds that unleashed their power! The kiddies didn’t mind. They loved splashing around in the river, despite us warning them the weather would be changing very soon. Thankfully the blustery rain showers were short, albeit powerful. The kiddies love this spot. They’ve asked to go every single day since they discovered it. I see it being a popular choice over the Summer. This was taken with my phone. I am completely in #love with the camera on this phone. I love the fact I can take clear, vibrant and detailed photos whenever I have my phone with me. Have you got a favourite spot that you visit more frequently than before lockdown? #mummyphotoaday

A great way to spend some time whilst waiting for the best delivery of your life! It was fun watching the kiddies play this game; daddy had to find the kiddies on the trampoline. I love how vibrant the colours are in this photo. Especially the #orange opening. It seems easy but it’s quite disorienting. The kids love it. I love the anticipation of when Daddy will get them! Our big delivery was our garden furniture. I’ll post some photos when it’s not quite so windy. The wind blew the cushions all over the place this afternoon. Our rather large patio is looking like a cosy spot to spend the summer now! I’m hoping we’ll get in some chill time this weekend, enjoy our garden and just be safe at home. What are you up to this weekend? #mummyphotoaday

I had precisely 30 minutes of sunshine this evening to test out my new iPhone camera. I absolutely love it. The photos I have taken are stunning. The quality of the colour and the light, the fun angles of the new lens. I took this photo by accident, I adore it. It’s world #bee day today and when I was taking this photo all of a sudden I noticed 5 or 6 buzzing around me collecting the pollen. 🐝 They fascinate me. I can see I am going to have a lot of fun with this new phone... Anyone else have any cool tips for the new iPhone? #mummyphotoaday

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, this week, and the topic is KINDNESS. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing, but the effects of being kind to someone can have many benefits. I would definitely say cost vs value, value wins every time! 🤣 I think that kindness is more important at the moment as everyone needs that extra lift to make them smile. Smiling releases hormones, endorphins, which makes us feel happy and also helps to reduce stress. So, it’s a good circle: be kind to someone - make them smile - make yourself feel happy in the process. On Sunday Hubby showed me kindness when he took the kiddies out for a bike ride and gave me some time on my own. I needed the headspace as I’ve felt frazzled over the last 2 months. He knew that, subconsciously, and knew that taking the kiddies out would make a difference to my day. It did. I smiled. I painted. I chilled. I felt happier. In honour of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - I want to spread a little kindness in my teeny square part of the world! Comment on this photo and I will reply to you with kind words, which will hopefully make you smile. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. #kindessmatters

I find I spend most of my days, at the moment, just watching these 2. When they are friends, they are the best of friends. They have the most bizarre conversations and talk about the most random things. But I love listening to that! One of my #projects over this lockdown period is to get our garden into tip top shape for Summer and another is to take more photos. I love taking photos, it’s my favourite hobby and I’m looking forward to trying out the new iPhone 11 camera at the end of the week. This photo was taken with my iPhone 8 Plus. I think it takes amazing photos. So I can only imagine the 11 will be better! 💛 Have you seen my iPhoneography tips on the blog? Do you have any Summer, lockdown, projects? #mummyphotoaday #eagrammers

Keeping on your mind and memorizing important dates such us birthdays may become hard at times, as you have a lot of thing to think about each new day. There comes a point where you will totally forget about a birthday or an anniversary only for you to remember it on the last minutes. This means that you will not have enough time to go shopping for a perfect gift and something of substance for that person who mean the world in your life and needs to be surprise; and to show them that you still think and care for them. Some of these dates include birthdays, Christmas or New Year and even anniversaries but there is no need for you to panic anymore. VIEW the POST

Spring time stationery with pastels and golds

I love Spring time, it is my favourite season of them all and I probably said that about Autumn too. I love the colours, the sunnier weather, the breathe of fresh air and the feeling of cleanliness. Everything just seems clean, the Spring clean must just get under my skin and inspires me. Not only do I love Spring, but I love stationery. What better way to combine some of my favourite things. Katie Leamon cards have put a huge smile on my face today as they are just the most beautiful cards and notecards.  VIEW the POST
