She is the helpful one. The second mommy to our li

She is the helpful one. The second mommy to our little crew of boys. My little shadow. She is sensitive and kind yet stubborn and determined. (Like her mama) 🥰 Sometimes she still curls up in my lap like my little baba and other times I look over and her mature mannerisms shine bright and I wonder how did she get so big so fast. I hate how fast time goes. Even in lockdown and a year where we really haven’t been out of the house it seems to be flying by (not that anyone would complain about 2020 blurring into our distant memory) but even my friends kids all seem so grown up and different having not seen them each day like we normally would. It’s like we have missed a whole year of their growing and changing too! I don’t even really see my kids classmates anymore with separate drop off times due to covid and I don’t recognise some of them that have changes so much. I am blabbing here but just last night hubby and I were talking about how fast times goes and how each stage of our lives seems like dream of another life almost. Childhood memories so far behind us even our young adult days of going out and nothing matters but meeting up with friends and staying out late. Now I can imagine I will look back at when my kids were young and think gosh that seems like another life time ago! What about you? Do you feel like your childhood was yesterday or almost a completely different life time ago?

Just like that Thanksgiving decorations are put aw

Just like that Thanksgiving decorations are put away and Christmas is out. With the new open plan I can’t believe how much more festive the house feels abs I can’t wait for the month of festivities at home. Loads of furniture is delayed but friends have let us borrow things here and there and it feels perfect for the holidays. We even got our Xmas pjs out earlier than normal because why not get more wear out of them 😂 I do apologize for the Xmas spam ahead I just love all this new light we have in the house. Squeal!!! Did you have your decorations up earlier than usual this year???

#AD We have started Potty Training! A big mileston

#AD We have started Potty Training! A big milestone in every tot’s life and for parents too. This will be my third time potty training so I know what to expect or not expect straight away. There will be accidents there will be emotions and frustrations but we will get there. We have teamed up with @pullupsuk as we've been using Pull-Ups Trainers recently to help us along the way. They have a learning layer that helps him know when he is ready to go and an indicator when he has wet himself. For us, it’s all about the rewards and trying to make it as fun as possible for him. From introducing him to his new Pull-Ups Trainers, to teaching him where his potty is, how to easily pull them up or down and how to tell us when he needs to go and using the potty on his own. There are lots of milestones along his journey to reward him for with a lovely sticker and treat. Why not celebrate your Big Kid’s Training milestones by checking out this link for your FREE sample, reward chart, and stickers. You can capture your child’s journey to becoming a big kid too using the #BigKidGame along with us. So far O is really interested in wearing his Pull-Ups Trainers and sitting on his potty next to the big potty. He lights up every time he gets a sticker for reaching one of his milestones too. Don’t worry there will be lots of #fails too. That’s all part of the learning processes. Important thing to do is make it as stress free, calm and fun as possible! Good luck!! #BigKidGame @pullupsuk

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃 We gobbled, we crafted, we

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃 We gobbled, we crafted, we stuffed ourselves silly, ate pumpkin pie a few times over, played with our PhotoBooth props as we do every year and had such a nice thanksgiving even though we couldn’t have our friends over like we normally do. We were so thankful and amazed how many of you join us in #thanksgivingworldwide hoping next year we can double it. Everyone should have a day to celebrate what they are thankful for!!! ❤️🦃 I am thankful for all you that follow, like, comment, engage and support me here. With all of you I wouldn’t have a job and it means the world to me. #lifecloseup

It’s Thanksgiving Eve...the pies are baked, the table is set, the pumpkins are still out. We are ready for our turkey feast tomorrow. Baby O even had full #thanksgivingworldwide at nursery today and made homemade turkey puppets! Hooray 😄 It’s just us and our bubble so smaller than we normally gather but we have so much to be thankful for. I hope no matter where you live that tomorrow over your dinner meal perhaps you can share what your thankful for with your loved ones and celebrate Thanksgiving too! A year where we all need something to celebrate.

Take me back to Scotland when the sun was shining

Take me back to Scotland when the sun was shining and we were staying at the most gorgeous estate with friends and family. Where we could gather, explore and get out when we wanted. Fingers crossed lockdown opens back up for Xmas and that we can find some normal routines in 2021. I miss normality and routine so badly. Kids in sports and gym days and lunch dates and weekends out. We have a lot to catch up on when life resumes. Hope everyone is safe and healthy. Hope everyone is doing ok. Have you all got your Xmas trees up yet? My hubby is usually convinced I am the first one in England to do it the day after thanksgiving (which is Thursday) but this year I think half the country beat me. 😜 #lifecloseup

What a day. TGIF It’s been one of those weeks and I plan on not getting dressed this weekend, enjoying movies and crafts with the kids and soaking up a non working weekend. I don’t have many of them but I am going to make the most of this one. So don’t worry I didn’t disappear forever but it might be next week before I emerge again. lol I plan on doing a big clear out too before Xmas. Do you do this? Fingers crossed it’s a relaxing and productive house declutter weekend. What do you have planned for the weekend ahead?? #lifecloseup

#AD Getting your children to eat vegetables can be

#AD Getting your children to eat vegetables can be hard. Whether you have a picky eater or are weaning your toddler to a healthy solid food diet it can be so daunting. We have teamed up with See & Eat (@food.unfolded) to introduce vegetables to O in evidence based learning way. See & Eat have created 24 vegetable e-books in six languages to aid you in teaching your children about vegetables. From farm to fork is their motto and we think it’s brilliant. Who wants to eat unknown food on their plate even as an adult we would crinkle our noses if we had never seen something before. This way teaches children how they grow, where they come from, different varieties and how to eat and cook them. See & Eat also have fab resources to take vegetable learning offline too. Coloring pages, memory games and adventure maps to entice them to get to know all their vegetables and be familiar with them so the next time you pile up their plates, they will be more apt and willing to try new ones out. It’s been great watching O actually retell the vegetable journey when he recognizes one on his plate. See my full review on my blog, link in bio #SeeandEatVeg #eitfood

Where do you find motivation? Is it seeing someone

Where do you find motivation? Is it seeing someone on Instagram getting fit or redecorating or starting something new? Is it having more down time at home to gather your thoughts? I would love to know when does everyone think their best ideas up and get to it?? I have so many projects and hands in various baskets but finding it hard to have the time (even though we are in lockdown again) to get anything finished. I often think bad pre-lockdown v1 and say to myself how did I ever do that much everyday 😂😂😂 anyone else feel like this? I still feel too busy and we have no sports, no extra activities, no big weekends and days out to be exhausted from 😂😂😂 But I am definitely wanting to get motivated and do something productive. So I am all ears...this is why I love this community so much we can bounce and share ideas. #lifecloseup
