Happy International Womenโ€™s Dayโ€ฆ Iโ€™m lucky enough to have grown up with independent & strong women all around me. Itโ€™s where I get my resilience & determination from.

Itโ€™s something that I want to ensure Isla has too: to be resilient is to have patience and strength. To keep a smile, even if deep down itโ€™s painful. Determination is to have focus and passion. To keep going even if the end is not quite in sight.

I can see a lot of this in her alreadyโ€ฆ she is far more confident than I ever was at 10 and she knows her own mind. Which I love.

Now I need to make sure she has self confidence, self awareness and self love. So she can endure all that life throws at her and she can listen to her body & mind to guide her. 

I love that Iโ€™m still learning things about myself on this motherhood journey: some of those things Iโ€™m learning from Isla.

Iโ€™m very proud of my baby girl ๐Ÿฅฐ

Get cleaning the air fryer with meโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงผ A slightly different post from me tonight: a handy little tip for cleaning your air fryer.โฃ
โฃ
Thereโ€™s something about a cleaning tip that makes cleaning that bit ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. We use the air fryer everyday, we love it. Keeping it clean is important.โฃ
โฃ
So: โฃ
โฃ
โ–ช๏ธ add ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—น๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฑ to the traysโฃ
โ–ช๏ธ add water to ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ the plates inside the trayโฃ
โ–ช๏ธ air fry for ๐Ÿฏ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™ve only been cooking vegetables and things like that then this is ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต to clean the trays. Simply rinse and dry. โฃ
โฃ
If youโ€™ve cooked meats or food that sticks to the trays, like cheese, then give it a good wash afterwards. The air frying will have helped to release those foods!โฃ
โฃ
๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐˜?โฃ

I just love it. Itโ€™ll be the only flower I canโ€™t actually kill. I either water them too much or not enoughโ€ฆ it makes me quite sad. I have a wisteria not doing so great at the moment, so I need tips!!โฃ

Isla is so close to her level 6 certificate. Sheโ€™s been coming on in leaps and bounds over the last few weeksโ€ฆ her confidence is definitely improving with her @gymfinitykids classes.

Today was awards week for Islaโ€™s class, and I love they they dish out โ€œpart wayโ€ certificates to those who havenโ€™t quite levelled up yet. Everyone gets a certificate. Itโ€™s so lovely.

With my discount code they waive the joining fee, which is ยฃ30, so donโ€™t forget to use it when signing up your child to @gymfinitykidsโ€ฆ

Capturing my special Summer memories with Lily Blanche

Capturing my special Summer memories with Lily Blanche

With all the fun we have had during lockdown, I wanted something that would remind me of it all. All the family time and adventures we have had along the way. So, when Lily Blanche got in touch to see if I wanted to review their lockets I couldnโ€™t resist. They are absolutely stunning necklaces, with little charms and they hold special memories inside. I honestly treasure it so much. VIEW the POST

Making Christmas magical with Pandora

Making Christmas magical with Pandora

I am a huge Pandora fan and when I was asked if I wanted to review one of the new Winter Collection pieces I jumped at the chance. Pandora, to me, isn't just about jewellery, its about the memories and feelings I get with every item. I love all the new ranges, Harry Potter Collection and the Christmas Collection. Such great gifts for Christmas. VIEW the POST

The best ways to keep all your memories

You only have a short while before your family grows up. If you are married and had kids in your 20s, youโ€™re going to have such a fun but hectic life, youโ€™ll hit your 30s and then your 40s before you know it. Raising children isnโ€™t easy and tracking their growth is sometimes an afterthought, collecting memories. Do you really care about taking a picture of your kids in their school clothes for their first day or would you rather get them dressed properly, make sure they have breakfast, that theyโ€™re not missing anything from their backpack and telling them about keeping safe etc? More likely, the latter.

5 Reasons to be thankful for family

5 Reasons to be thankful for family

No matter what, we all have a family. From our parents, grandparents, siblings and extended family right through to our partners, children and grandchildren of our own in later life, family plays an important role throughout the course of life. Our family is a vital support network, one which provides us with all-important love, care, sympathy and words of kindness. Families should be there to help you out in your time of need โ€“ after all, who else will know you better than your close family!VIEW the POST

Capturing shared moments with Memory Lane

I recently worked with Channel Mum and Cadbury Dairy Buttons to create a lovely video about capturing shared moments with my little ones and also their new Memory Lane Tool. In the video I wanted to share my most treasured shared moments with my children.  I really loved creating this and Iโ€™m so pleased with my Memory Lane. I’d love to see your Memory Lane video and so would Cadbury.
