Having a bit of a mum guilt day. We’ve watched way too much TV as it’s too hot to move. I’ve let Bailey eat ice lollies and drink nothing but juice just to get fluids in him. I was supposed to be trying to be more healthy this week but I already broke my mid week booze ban last night, have done zero steps today (again, heat) and just drank a Coke I wasn’t supposed to have till tomorrow. Oh well. It’s nearly the weekend…. p.s - yes, that’s a really pointless close up of my really dull shoes for no reason other than so I can add it to my shoe collection highlights…
Dedicating a little square to my beloved Brum today as the Commonwealth Games buzz drifts away. I have so loved seeing the beautiful, vibrant city I know and love being celebrated over the last couple of weeks. I’m sad I didn’t get another chance to pop over and wander around a bit more - with all three kiddywinks in tow it wasn’t quite the relaxed vibe I was hoping for, but I’m still glad we made it over there at least once. I have obviously always known what an amazing city Brum is, but we tend to get a bad rep and it felt so good to see it on the world stage, getting the credit it deserves! I love you, my Brummie homeland. May you always shine this brightly ❤️
The face of an idiot who thought a 30+ degree day was the right day to deep clean the living room 🥵
When we found out I was having twins I thought I’d never leave the house again without help. The idea of wrangling a double buggy and a wayward toddler just seemed like too much. But we got there, with baby steps, and I’m so glad I pushed through the fear. Toddlers are capable of so much more than we give them credit for sometimes. And sure, there’ll be the bad occasions, where there are meltdowns and shouting and making a break for freedom right next to a busy road that make you feel like you never want to try again! But mostly you get to see your little one exploring the world and learning how it works. Today we’ve had a wonderful trip to the market, where Bailey absolutely loved finding the fruit and veg we needed and helping me put it in the basket. He got to pick out his own cherries for lunch, a treat for tea, and charmed the pants of all the stall holders before insisting on carrying his watermelon all the way home in his bag. And to my shock it was that watermelon he chose as a treat for being so helpful rather than the cake we’d just bought! I have to admit the thought of the long summer holidays managing all of them at once originally filled me with dread, but now I feel a tiny bit sad that there’s only a few weeks left till my little helper is back at preschool full time! I’m going to miss that little monster so much 😭
I didn’t actually intend on paying homage to the late, great Olivia Newton-John with my outfit today, but it does feel a bit Sandra Dee, and I feel like she’d approve ❤️
Pretty, pretty details 😍
