Happy 1st of June!!! Get your hats and belts out - it’s dress and sandal season! I am raving about how much I love a good sun hat and tying a belt around an oversize kimono or sun dress to jazz it up! Link in bio - check it out. This mintvelvet hat is a new fave. Do you have a fave summer accessory?

We went to our new favorite place today. A big bike ride, cupcakes packed in our bags and celebrating the sunshine that seems to have been here for months and not just weeks. We are so grateful for it shining down on us. Our skin is sun kissed and we are stocked up on our vitamin D. What a half term we have had. Hope you have enjoyed your time off homeschooling and routines. Back to school/work/baby routines tomorrow. Good luck this week everyone!!! #staysafestayhome #halftermover #halfterm #halftermfun #halftermbreak #halftermactivities #halftermholiday #halftermholidays

AD | We are in a digital age that is making it easier than ever to document our special moments. But what about how we store them? Even as a blogger and full time influencer, I have thousands of photos and videos waiting to be organised, sorted, things I want to document and store to share with my kids when they are older. I want to be able to leave a legacy for them, in case anything were to ever happen to me. We have teamed up with Legacy of Love APP to do just that. It’s the ultimate parent journaling app that is compatible on your phone, tablet and computer that you can keep a timeline of each family members’ life through videos, photos, voicemails, letters and more. Just think when your child grows up, they can click their name in your App and up pops all their milestones, special moments, interviews, home videos, voicemails; all on one big timeline. Now it’s organised all in one place! It won’t be a daunting huge project that you set aside because you can keep up with it remotely whenever and whenever you are. Download the App https://lolfamily.app.link/tcthFXDWv6 You never know what is around the corner for us and since we are in isolation with more time on our hands, why not start now? legacyoflove.app

Splish splash fishies...our paddling pool has seen

Splish splash fishies...our paddling pool has seen better days having been used far more these past few weeks than in years combined. No complaints. But it’s lost two layers that no amount of tape is holding together. It barely holds the three of them but it still creates so much laughter and fun. It’s now been ten weeks of lockdown that’s more than our summer holiday and Christmas break combine. I don’t know how much hard it would have been if we hadn’t had all this glorious good weather in England to help us get through our days. But I am grateful for it each morning I look out and it’s blue skies again. Hope yall are soaking it up too! #lifecloseup

Oh the beach...we missed you for so many reasons.

Oh the beach...we missed you for so many reasons. Today we finally got to dig our toes in the sand like the good old days. We splashed in water, we got sand in all the wrong places and we buried ourselves up to our necks just for the fun of it. Baby O was delighted bossing his siblings around, stuffing his face and having total command over the shovels. I say on my blanket and lapped it up. Only wish Mr P could have been there working away in the hot home office bless him. But how nice has this weather been it’s unbelievable and may it keep going and get us all through this weird time in our lives. I think I might even need to sit in the paddling pool tomorrow our back garden is that hot. What do you think?

We did a big hike to let some energy out. Mr P and I have been working endless hours and trying to keep the three kiddos entertained for half term. Baby O was not impressed with his new backpack carrier but it was SO nice to go somewhere new where a stroller couldn’t go. Where do you venture out to run off the kids’ high energy? #lifecloseup #familyhiking #familyadventures #familytime💕 #staysafeoutthere #meandmineproject #snaphappybritmums

When you just need some time away from social medi

When you just need some time away from social media! As an influencer it’s not something you do very often but every once in a while I disappear for a few days. I get stuck into diy project, a good book, a puzzle, and playing all sorts of games, crafts and adventures with my kids without the constant buzz of my phone. It always recharges my batteries and also motivates me again in my job with fresh ideas and things to strive for. I love how free I feel in those days I take off. Just as much as I miss the online chatter and sharing of passions on a daily basis too. It’s my kind of balance. I needed the last five days off probably about a month ago and didn’t do it so I woke up today feeling fresh and ready for work and play alike. How was your bank holiday weekend and start of half term? The weather certainly is loving us lately isn’t it? Come on tell me all about your recent sunny adventures!!!

Emotions are running wild in this one this week. O

Emotions are running wild in this one this week. One minute she is happy as can be and the other minute her brother is looking at her 😱 “how dare he!” Funny thing is I remember doing this very thing with my own brother. The bickering about the seat on the sofa or he is staring at me Mom! Gosh my poor mother, these two haven’t really had that until recently. I may or may not have lost my patience and my voice than felt instantly guilty about it. #momguiltisreal #momguilt #mumguilt #mumguiltisreal Anyone else have emotional little ones ??? #lifecloseup

#AD | I can’t tell you how important it is to protect your skin from the sun. Gone are the days, where we bask in the sun for hours with no sun cream on… or it should be! Even with sun cream on you should stay in the shade when you can, wear sun hats and sunglasses. It should always be SPF 15+ or more! In lockdown we have been making sure we are making the most of fun in the sun in our back garden and staying protected too Our skin is so delicate and can react to its environment. One factor that can contribute to skin issues is the sun! Too much sun exposure without protection can cause sunburns, wrinkles, age spots, hyperpigmentation and other negative effects. Protecting our skin is so important to help avoid these effects. My kids are loving their nivea_uk Sun Kids Coloured Roll On SPF50+ too. They can even apply it themselves which helps when you have three of them. From chilling on our sun loungers listening to music, to kicking in the paddling pool or scooting around the garden and sliding down the slide the kids are constantly needing their cream on. I love the NIVEA Sun UV Face Q10 Anti Age Sun Cream SPF 50 for my face too. It makes it feel so soft. I apply it before I put my makeup on. So while the sun has been out for so long and may it long last please ensure you are applying it to yourself and your children whilst also staying safe out there. #TakeCareInTheSun #Stayhomestaysafe

Yup that about sums up why we don’t take monthly

Yup that about sums up why we don’t take monthly family photos as we have done for seven years in a row. This year seemed that it became a begging, pleading, catch the baby and hold him down situation when he learned to walk and talk. Whilst I love documenting us as we grow and change especially the three of them together as a family m it started to not become something I was looking forward to. But I thought I wanted some in isolation to look back on and tried this weekend to capture us in our lockdown glory. 🤔🤔 Baby had other thoughts. As did the moody eldest that pretty much stomped his feet all the way downstairs when I asked if he could come sit with me outside for a minute. lol 😂 the middle as calm and sweet as ever say I will take loads of pictures for you mommy. Hubby grumbled until I reminded him we could go back to doing it every month instead of twice a year. Lol he smiled willingly and it was our 13 year anniversary from the day we met so he had to be nice to me. 💗 But I love it all the same. It was worth the begging and pleading because I will look back and remember we made so many memories in this back garden. So many days of running through sprinklers and eating homemade ice lollies and paddling pools and slides and bouncing castles and obstacle courses. The list goes on. It has become an extension to our house and an extra room we use daily. The best thing we did a few years back renovating it all. Used to be swamped before. Now it’s our safety net of fresh air. #lifecloseup #thatfacetho #thatfacethough #thatfacethough😍 #thatfacethough😂 #babyfacechallenge #babyfaces #familyphotoshoots #familyphotosession
