We had another snowy weekend. It’s nice to give

We had another snowy weekend. It’s nice to give us a few extra activities of building a snowman, snow angels, sledding and snowball fights. It was a nice change to the Saturday and Sunday morning walks around our neighborhood. It wasn’t as much snow as the other week so our snow sledding turned into mud sledding in the end but we woke up to that beautiful view of a white blanket covering the ground. Normally unless it’s a ski holiday I don’t wish for snow but when we are all locked up and nothing else to do I say bring some more on at least just to keep the kids entertained. Did you get snow? Have you been out in it today? ❄️ #lifecloseup #snowdays #snowday❄️ #snowdays❄️

AD We are trying Veganuary to reduce our meat consumption, improve our health, and increase our veg intake. As most of you know we are huge fans of the @TescoFood Recipe Website. It provides 1000’s of ideas and inspiration every day. They have a vegan meal planner tool you can use to help you try out Veganuary too. It starts by asking a few simple questions of your likes and needs and provides you with a list of vegan recipes. We are trying out this Tesco recipe Chickpea coconut curry recipe! And got the kids involved in choosing off the list and cooking it. We all can say the recipe was so delicious. You can rely on Tesco for good value and great quality. Check out the Tesco Recipe Website and try out the Vegan Meal Planner tool to have a go at Veganuary too! #EveryLittleHelps #Veganuary

Snow has been falling mixed with rain tonight...wi

Snow has been falling mixed with rain tonight...will we wake up and be able to build another snowman 🤔 It would be worth it just to see this face light up it’s been a tough week for my middle one. She has cried. I have cried. Even the clouds are crying. Last lockdown she dealt with it really well but with such bad weather and not getting out as much as we would like I do think it’s weighing on her. All the joking aside - the new way to do math frustrates the hell out of me too. The old way was so easy why change it? I am now having to YouTube to learn things just to help her and I was really good at math in school. 😱🤬 I know from all the memes I am not alone here. But I had to give myself a proper talking to today cause I think my mood was rubbing off on her and as soon as I readjusted my own attitude she started to too. She definitely is the type that feeds off the energy of a room and I am so glad I realized it sooner rather than later. Maybe tomorrow will be easier, better, and less crying and shouting by us all. Maybe even the clouds will give us something to smile about too. ❄️ ☃️ How is everyone else doing half way to the weekend?#lifeinlockdown #lockdownlife🔐 #lockdown2021 #lifecloseup #lockdownagain #lockdownschool #homeschoolinglife

AD We have long loved @tescofood Homeware range.

AD We have long loved @tescofood Homeware range. With a new year upon us and the Xmas decor put away, it’s time to spruce up a few spaces in the house that look bare. It’s great we can grab trendy pieces at affordable prices with our essential weekly shop at @tescofood. We scooped up these gorgeous homeware items for MM’s dressing table as it just had a lamp on it. It gave the whole room the mood boost it needed and really brighten it up. I love the gold theme frame and matching jewellery box and quality of the photo frames too! Do you ever feel like a space is in need of a mood booster? You can add a pop of colour or a vibrant pattern to push away those January blues? Either way, your friends will be asking you where you got your new trendy pieces and you can say with the milk and bread!!!! Head to my stories for the swipe up or check them out in store when doing your essential shop #EveryLittleHelps #TescoHome

How has your weekend been going? Nothing new to re

How has your weekend been going? Nothing new to report here...went for a walk - again. Watched a movie - again. Snacked far too much - again. Does anyone else feel like it’s groundhogs day? I am betting my last penny we are stuck till Easter holidays. I need to find some new entertainment for the kids as they are getting cabin fever like the rest of us. Anyone have some great activities they think little ones would love??? Outdoors - indoors we need all the advice? I have ran out of my list two lockdowns ago 😜🤦‍♀️ #lifecloseup

Almost the weekend...anyone else needing the weeke

Almost the weekend...anyone else needing the weekend to get here already this week? We want to lie in because on nursery days it’s still early 7am wake up, and we want to be silly and it’s snowing sleet right now maybe we can build another snowman! We are missing Henry! Come on .... one more day we got this!💪🏻

Oh roll back to when the snow was falling so fluff

Oh roll back to when the snow was falling so fluffy and white and we got to get the sled out! This little one was over the moon. Instead today’s been a very busy, very long day. Whilst online lessons have finally started it means I am running up and down the stairs and in between three children kept in three different rooms as to not disturb the others lessons. Silver lining...I have my daily workouts sorted for me! We are taking longer to find our grove this time than last but I am confident we will get here as I guarantee we won’t be back after half term in Feb. My guess after Easter and if it’s not I will ecstatic and if is than I am already prepared. Helps me sort my mind out a bit that way. How do you look at lockdown? One day at a time, worse case scenario so you aren’t blindsided, or positively optimistic?

Ok I know it’s late for any Xmas tree snaps but

Ok I know it’s late for any Xmas tree snaps but it’s more to do with my new dining room. I loved the Xmas decor but now that it’s put away it feels absolutely empty in here. Should I put a mirror on the white wall? Should I put large candle holders or big flowers in the middle as a centrepiece? This room feels like it’s missing something and I can’t pinpoint what is off now that there is no tree or decor to fill the space. What would you add to it????#lifecloseup #myhomedecor #diningroomdecor #diningroomdesign #diningroomideas #diningroomtable #diningroominspo #diningrooms #diningroomfurniture #diningroomgoals #diningroomchairs #diningchairs #diningtabledecor #diningroomstyle #diningroomsofinstagram #diningtables
