Saturday stylings

I'm not the most fashionable girl in the world but I do like to wear cool stuff now and then. Since having the little man a year ago I've been trying to find my own style again as my body has changed a bit and my wardrobe needs to be a bit more functional too.

Like lots of ladies I think I've got too many clothes and loads that I never wear so I think it's time to say out with the old and in with the new. 

This month I got some gorgeous new red wedges from Next (£30) the platform makes them really comfy as it's really big at the front so I can wear them in the day and the night. 
The style I'm going for is a bit of retro brights, the wedges make me feel all vintage and look cool with my pale red / orange lip gloss and the bright yellow cardi really brightened up my morning after a shaky start. I saw a yellow cardigan like this in a really cool shop where I live, it was a Nice Things one and was £69 but really lovely and the girl in the shop was saying how it really goes with anything. I loved it but couldn't quite swallow the price so when I went in H&M and saw this one in the sale for £10 and almost identical I was pretty chuffed. 

Team these two new pieces with my oldest pair of jeans which I love and have been repaired time and time again and a grey T and we were good to go! MAC pinky/red nails were the icing on the cake, although after less than 12 hours it's already chipped! I guess that goes with the mummy/housewife territory! 

Nothing outrageous but making a little effort brightened up my week! I'm hoping to continue my #saturdaystylings next week too so watch this space!

Excited about Etsy!!!

Image
The Etsy shop got off to a good start and I'm quite excited a it how it is all going. 

I've made a few sales but it is quite hard to get properly into it like I might if I didn't have all the other things to do!! I wouldn't change anything for the world though. 
The boys are happy as are we, I'm enjoying loads of hobbies now as well as the Etsy shop (pottery, netball, ukulele). 
I've been reading up on Etsy tips and have made a couple of changes to the way I tag my items so we will see how that goes!

Our little man Grows Wild!

Image
We've entered another competition with moneysupermarket.com which meant we got sent a free gardening kit! (Handy bag, watering can, gloves, fork, trowel and seeds!) I know the little man is a bit young for really understanding  gardening but he loves messy play and this was an ideal opportunity to get outside and spend some fun time together.

Getting this kit provided us with a new and fun activity that we can continue with as he gets older and it meant we had some structure to our play which was really great and different (It can be hard knowing how to occupy a baby / 1 year old on your own sometimes!). Without being given this kit I don't think I would have done gardening with Jacob, I just wouldn't have thought of it on my own. So I really enjoyed this one and the pickle did too!

First we found and cleaned an old planter that had been neglected then we had fun digging around in the soil and getting it ready for the seeds.

When the soil was thoroughly dug we sprinkled on…

18 months & 3.5 years

It's been nearly a year since I last posted on the blog so thought a little update might be in order. 
Samuel is now nearly 18 months old and is running around (and falling over), chatting with new words everyday (my favourite it when he says eeese /please and akooo/thank you and nose!) and is very affectionate and loves cuddles. He is forming good relationships and enjoys seeing different people. My mum and dad look after him 2 days a week and he has a real soft spot for his 'Pop' which is so lovely to see. Samuel plays at Jacob's playgroup 3 times a week and is starting to hold his own with other children. He's not really a baby anymore but he will always be my little baby. He is cute beyond words and so loving. 
Jacob is 3 and a half and discovering different likes and dislikes. He is able to hold full conversations about really complex topics and shows great interest in how things work and asks lots of questions. He is a good big brother and is kind and caring ov…
