A little late to write this, as it’s now almost the end of February, but this year I decided I wanted to blog and share some of the important moments of my life. Travel, house renovation progress, garden project and some of the lovely things we do with my beautiful family. I turn 40 this year! Eek! So I aim to make 2019 full of … Continue reading 2019 Goals
Well it’s been a whirlwind year, yet again. Can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Ava is very excited and keeps talking about how many sleeps! Tom is walking now, although still a little wobbly. We’ve had a really busy few weeks with work and a little bit of play too 😉. Yes, my maternity leave is well and truly over and I’m back at work … Continue reading Christmas 2015
So we had a free weekend without anything planned and instead of having a relaxed two days without doing much or even starting to get packed for our holiday in 3 days time, we decided to have a cheeky little two days away in the Lake District. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been and we thought the kids would enjoy it, so … Continue reading A little Lake District Break
Today we were off to Newcastle’s beautiful Theatre Royal to see the play of one of Ava’s favourite books, The Tiger Who Came To Tea! We went a little earlier and stopped off at Blake’s just opposite the theatre for an early lunch. It’s the first time I’ve been in and I will definitely be back! There was a great range of sandwiches and a … Continue reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea – Theatre Royal
Our second wedding anniversary and also the day we get to enjoy David’s Christmas present (and joint anniversary present too!). It was a fair old treck down to Marlow but it was nice and relaxing being in the car without worrying about nappy changes, feeding times, sleeping or crying babies so I quite enjoyed the journey and it went quite quickly. We got to Marlow … Continue reading Hand and Flowers – Tom Kerridge
So I think today was probably the best day of Ava’s life so far! (With the exception of the day her baby brother was born, I’m sure!) We had bought tickets a few months ago to one of the Enchanted princess parties that they hold at The Vermont hotel every couple of months. It was also my first visit to The Vermont and I was … Continue reading Enchanted Princess Party
All packed up and ready to leave Lake Louise for the final day of our holiday, and it was a long one too! After breakfast we had a drive up to the lake which was stunning but is still almost completely frozen. Apparently it doesn’t thaw until June. We took a few snaps there then went into Lake Louise town, which consists of about … Continue reading Final Day Lake Louise to Calgary
David went for a run this morning while I took the kids for breakfast and then to the pool. It was just a large jacuzzi really and it must have been about 40 degrees. I could barely have sat in it myself never mind the kids going in. So we went back to the room then all headed up to the Gondola at the Lake … Continue reading Lake Louise and Banff
We actually woke up before the kids today and once they were up we went straight down to breakfast. After that it was a quick stop at the pool, Ava was very excited that there was a big water slide into the pool. The water was freezing but she didn’t care she was so excited and just wanted to go on again and again. … Continue reading Golden to Jasper
