Jeans for Genes Day Fashion with Jacamo
Review: Muru Jewellery
I love fashion, but am notoriously picky when it comes to accessories. If my mum wants to buy me a handbag for Christmas, for instance, she’ll ask me to send her a list of ones I do like. It’s a similar story when it comes to jewellery. When an email arrived in my inbox from Muru jewellery I went to have a peek at their site, sceptical about whether there were many pieces I would like. So, what was my verdict?
Autumn’s Mummy Blog at BlogOnToys
I can’t believe the time has come again for BlogOn! I enjoyed last September’s Christmas themed BlogOn so much and am so excited to be heading back to Manchester this weekend for more Christmassy fun at BlogOnToys. Blogging conferences are a whirlwind of fun, learning and socialising and I really recommend BlogOn as there is such a lovely atmosphere. Anyway, until now I have somehow missed that there was an introduction linky. So, here are my answers to the questions!
Preparing a short break to Devon
Are you thinking about going on holiday to Devon? The west country is one of my favourite parts of England – and Devon has some beautiful places just waiting to be discovered by you! With gorgeous beaches and interesting attractions, it may be difficult for you to narrow them down!
Three days exploring Cornwall with a toddler
At the end of August, we squeezed a little holiday to Cornwall in. We wanted to surprise my family and kept costs down by camping. This was a little nerve-wracking, as it was Autumn’s first time camping and we were approximately a 7 hour drive from home! We were only there for three days, but we managed to pack a lot into them!
Camping with a toddler for the first time!
Last week we went for a short break to Cornwall for a few days to surprise my family who were already on holiday there. You could easily be forgiven for thinking I’m a little bit crazy, given that I was going camping with a toddler for the first time, a seven hour drive from home.
An Arriva adventure to Kent Life
Catching the bus is a daily experience, usually taking people from A-B for work or school. How often do we think outside the box and go for a day out on one, though? Last weekend we decided to do just that and go for an adventure on Arriva’s 155 Chatham to Maidstone bus. We took Autumn to Kent Life, as she absolutely adores animals and we knew she’d have lots of fun!
Little Baby Bum at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford
If you’re a parent of young children, it’s likely that you’re one of the 21 million+ subscribers of Little Baby Bum on YouTube. Their friendly, colourful characters sing educational songs and well known nursery rhymes, entertaining babies and toddlers all across the globe. Little Baby Bum Live! brings the fun to the stage – and it’s coming to the Orchard Theatre in Dartford very soon!
Preparing a short break to Wales
Wales is a beautiful part of the British Isles. It doesn’t matter which part you go to, there is plenty to do and see. We have visited Pembrokeshire each year since 2015, when we went there for our honeymoon. However, I’d love to visit Snowdonia and go for a short break in Cardiff!
3 things in 15 minutes to feel more “you”, less “mum”
As wonderful as motherhood is, a lot does change and that takes some adjusting to! I often find myself putting on the same combinations of jeans and t-shirts or jumpers each day. Once I’ve finished work, I slap on some concealer and foundation, quickly put a brush through my hair and rush off to collect Autumn from her childminder. With all the additional things to do in my daily life, I’ve definitely not taken care of myself as much. I’ve been meaning to paint my nails for weeks now, but they’re still bare. Does this sound like you?
It’s so important as mums to give ourselves a bit of self care, in whatever form that comes. This post is about 3 things I do to feel a bit more like “myself” in 15 minutes and hopefully it will inspire you too! After all, surely 15 minutes is achievable every once in a while?
