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

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

Having fun in muddy puddles

Having fun in muddy puddles

It is so lovely to get out and about, even when the summery rain is showering down on us. We are lucky to live quite near a great place, full of wildlife and nature. Also, a lot of muddy puddles. What better way to wind down after a busy week, than to pull up the wellies and get jumping. Have you tried it? Even as an adult it is a great stress reliever.  VIEW the POST

Get rainproof this summer with Trespass

Get rainproof this summer with Trespass

I was very lucky to receive a rather stylish waterproof jacket from Trespass recently. I say stylish as quite a few waterproof jackets on the market are of a similar ilk - you know the ones? This one is different. It looks like I have purchased it in a fashion store, not from an outdoor specialist like Trespass.  VIEW the POST

Pacapod – Jura: Classic Style, Clever design

If you are ever looking for a clever changing bag, then look no further than PacaPod. They have an array of fantastic products that not only look fab, they are incredibly practical. What would we do without it? We were sent a beautiful blue Jura bag to review and very soon I will be giving away one of the even more beautiful cranberry designs.

Nappy Week: Huggies Little Swimmers

Nappy Week: Huggies Little Swimmers

Huggies sent Isla and Noah some Little Swimmers for when we were on holiday and to see us through the summer months. They are fabulous nappies for in the water and playing in the garden with our paddling pool. They feel a bit tougher than normal nappies and you can see that they will be protective against the water. They work by not swelling when in contact with the water, so leaving babies and children free to play and have fun. They also have the classic Huggies fabulous patterns and pictures on them - I'm a massive Winnie the Pooh fan! And guess what? They do extra small sizes for babies, so Isla could enjoy a swim too! There are lots of benefits of taking your babies and children swimming: Baby swimming is a fun and rewarding experience that helps build the bond between you and your baby as it centres ...
