I think this might be my new favourite view… onboard my SUP! 🔵🔴 After 4.5 hours of paddling yesterday, on my first paddleboarding adventure, my thighs and shoulders have decided to disown me today. But, no pain no gain. I’m looking forward to taking her out on some shorter trips, in the golden hours and taking a book to read on my pitstop. I have learnt how to get the SUP inflated and deflated, I managed to fold it up into its bag too! It’s like getting a tent back in its original packaging- it never goes back exactly how it came out! 😂 My top tip for any SUP beginners is to find a slow moving river or lake to practice without a strong current. #mummyphotoaday ~ favourite #sup #paddleboarding #paddleboardinguk #suppaddleboarding #supadvendure #suppaddle #riverpaddle #riversup #supview #paddleboardview #rivertop #riverlife #downbytheriver #favourite #mindfulness #mindset #mindfulliving #timeout #mindbodysoul #mentalhealth #sunshineafternoon #sunshine🌞 #summerclouds #heatwaveuk #familyadventures #familyactivity My SUP is from @aquaplanetsup.

A little reel of my first paddleboard trip along the river. On my very own beautiful paddleboard too! It was meant to be pink, but the red and blue is perfect. We paddled for 4 hours in total, around the river in Cambridgeshire. We stopped at Houghton Lock for a picnic and it was so peaceful. I love being out on the river. Albeit I was quite nervous I would fall in, I didn’t. Phew. I did a combo of stand up paddleboarding, kneeling and sitting to get a rowing rhythm going when I needed it. The wind was against us on the way, which felt hard. But it helped on the way back. I’m in love with days like this. So beautiful and I felt present, watching the dragonflies, butterflies and even the otters. It’s such a wonderful activity to practice mindfulness and also a spot of yoga. Lots of Table Top positions! I can’t wait to get out on the river again!

Devon you were amazing ☀️ We try to get down to North Devon at least once a year. We love the beaches and the beautiful villages along that stretch of coastline. It was a great week of family time, lots of sun and sea. We felt like we had gone to Spain with the weather. Daddy and the kids camped the week before and had a stunning week of sunshine too. I managed to read two books and I even went for a swim in the sea 😂 It was nice to have a week of doing not much. It took us 6 hours to get home. My road trip consisted of multiple stops though as I had the dogs with me. So, I didn’t think it was that bad. Yes, I know it’s quicker to get to actual Spain 😂 Have you ever been down to Devon? #mummyphotoaday ~ roadtrip #northdevon #devon #woolacombebeach #woolacombe #familytime #familylove #familyholiday #familyvacay #familyselfie #sunshinefaces #photooftheday #photoaday #photochallenge #photochallenge2022 #adventures #familyadventures #sandcastles #beachselfies #beachlife

The views yesterday were absolutely stunning. Woolacoombe you didn’t disappoint. The sea was so calm, which I loved but the kiddies wanted waves to bodyboard through. I actually went in the sea. It was quite warm in the shallows. As the sun reached near its setting place the reflection on the sea was mesmerising. I could have sat there all evening. More beach days please 🙏🏻 Have you been to the beach this Summer? #mummyphotoaday ~ views #beachviews #northdevon #devon #beachlife #visitdevon #woolacoombe #woolacoombebeach #devonlife #sunscape #seascape #photoaday #photooftheday #photochallenge #summerphotochallenge #summerhashtagchallenge #summerphotoaday #northdevoncoast #northdevonholiday #sunnybeach #summer2022

Great tips for making the paddling pool fun this Summer

By Posted on 5 Comments

We love the paddling pool at this time of year, Isla just loves water and would play in it all day if I let her. Especially on the warmer days that we have seen recently. I have been thinking of ways to make Summer in the paddling pool fun. I love encouraging the kids to be outside and active in the garden. We think these tips are fun for all the family too.

Coping without Daddy for the weekend 

By Posted on 2 Comments

I say coping, I think I'm pretty capable, but it's just that thing of its just you looking after them. When you usually have two people to do it. Or when the kids wake me up in the night, daddy can get up early to deal with them. It's those little things that you take for granted until there not there anymore. VIEW the POST
