A Lovely Spring Day!

It's definitely been feeling a lot like spring lately! So what better time to get out and blow the cobwebs away! So we took Ben, Nanny and I took Oliver out on his trike to our local garden centre webbs! The sell just about anything you could want they also have a massive hobby craft and a lovely big park made out of logs! The sun was out and Oliver had a lovely time! I'd say he was walking about but he's not quite confident enough on his feet yet although he has been tearing around the house without even thinking! He really is absolutely full of energy and squealing with delight as daddy pushed him down the slide and I caught him at the bottom and he enjoyed it so much that he decided that It was an amazing idea to try and crawl back up to daddy! 

I really do cherish days like this especially with Ben working the long hours that he does to provide for us and its just so lovely for him to spend time with Ollie and to see them so happy together and I don't think that I could ask or wish for anything better! 

(got to love those cheeky grins and that belly flash!)

I hope you've enjoyed this little short but sweet post!

An Evening with Giovanna Fletcher

Last week I managed to get the rare and wonderful thing of a night off of mummy duties and went to go see the wonderful Gi on her book tour for her new book Happy Mu, Happy Baby! I went with my lovely friend Kirsty and we made a night out of it a went for some food and such, we ended up eating in Ed's diner, I have never been before and the food was just so nice! I had a burger which came with Fries, Onion Rings and Coleslaw but I did end up having to leave some because there was just so much food, I also had a Nutella Shake which was just to die for and I mean that probably didn't help with making me feel so full either really tbh! We then had quick mooch round a couple of shops before heading back to the venue ready for when doors open. When we got inside we were given a lovely bag that had a copy of her book, some postcards with some amazing quotes on and a lovely little bottle of burt's bees cleanser and well I love me a good cleanser! 
Th evening kicked off with a Gi talking about her book and just about being a mummy in general! She is literally just such an amazing woman, I laughed, things got a bit emotional and I felt so honoured to be in a room with such a genuine lovely lady! We then got the oppotunity to ask Gi some questions about the book and such and I got a little bit shaky and upset but I did it! Once the Q & A had finished we then were allowed to line up and meet her and have our copy of book signed which was absolutely lovely!
All in all I had an absolutely amazing night although I missed Ollie so much and it was really quite weird to be away from him like it always is!

Shopping Trip Haul!

Today was one of those days where I probably spent more than I intended too! (Oooops!) Today's haul is mainly Primark but my trip into Primark did actually have a purpose so all my purchases were not just impulse purchases well not all of them anyway! I also went to Poundland, Superdrug and Tiger so I'll also be popping about them on the end so let's jump in and start with Primarni! 

First off I fell in love with this grey pleated skirt and decided that I maybe needed it and picked that up, the material is quite thick so but its also quite flowy so I figured that I could wear it now with tight and some nice boots whilst the weather is cooler and I could also wear it in the summer with some nice sandals and it was only £8 which I thought was an absolute bargain! 

I also purchased a pair of new shorts because we're going on holiday to Butlins in May and we're hoping that it might be reasonable warm so I wanted some new shorts that I would be able to wear to go for a paddle in the sea although I am currently wearing them whilst I relax and write this hehe! They're a cotton type material and they have like a lacy type detailing on them down the sides and around the bottom of the legs and they were only £4 which was such a steal! 

I also purchased a new candle..... I literally cannot go into anywhere without finding a candle that I like the smell of and buying it! (ooops!) this one is a raspberry and vanilla scent and when I smelt it, I immediately thought about burning it on a lovely summers day because the smell reminded me of ice cream! I will say though that Ben was maybe not too impressed that I have added to the ever growing collection tbh. It comes in a reasonably sized jar and was only £2. 

Now for the things that I purchased for Ollie -I did go a little bit mad here I'll admit that but we're going on holiday in May and he needed a few bits and bobs ready for our holiday! First off I picked him up some swim shorts because he hasn't been swimming for a little while and he's grown out of them so I got him these lovely red ones which came in a 2 pack and they were only £4 which is amazing value for money! I then got a few t-shirts for him ready for when we go away and I think the most I paid was £2.50 which all in all wasn't bad value for money, I also picked him up a pack of sock because Ollie is forever losing socks and I am always forever having to replace them! They were only £2.50 for a pack of five! I also picked him up a hat for the summer he doesn't really like to wear hats so I didn't want to spend too much money on hat that he probably won't wear so for £1 you can't go wrong really! 

I also picked up an few bits from superdrug I got the Garnier Beauty Oil body scrub with Argan, Macadamia, Almond and Rose oil which smells amazing and that was on offer for £1.79, I also picked up a coconut & orchid body lotion which was superdrug own brand and that was only £1.45 and then because I had purchased 2 skin care products I got a free Versace bright crystal mini! 

I hope you enjoyed my mini haul!
