Orlando, Florida 2013⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In March 2020, just before we all realised that Covid 19 was a big deal and would change our lives, we booked a holiday to Disneyland Paris for August 2021, splashing out for the Disneyland Hotel and all the character dining we could get.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, that hotel is closed until further notice, maybe 2 years, and the holiday we booked is now longer a possibility. We’ve decided to try to get a refund for our holiday and start saving for Florida 2023. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That will be the year of our 10th wedding anniversary and John’s 40th birthday. I might be sad about Paris but there’s always something else to look forward to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As much as I enjoyed the snow over the weekend, I really want it to be warmer already!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I sometimes wonder what I can teach Erin as she grows up. I don’t really have any special skills or anything spectacular that I can pass on to her.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other day though I realised that I can at least teach Erin how to build a snowman. This actually includes John too because he didn’t know either. Erin certainly found it funny that I was rolling a big ball of snow around the park! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Right... it’s a new week and I’m going to try to be a bit more positive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been and although both Erin and I had some shouty days, we mostly got through it okay.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of Erin’s home school tasks was to come up with a shark’s habitat and she chose the Wobbegong shark. Erin and her Grandma made an amazing picture and Erin’s teacher said she did a really good job.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m actually loving seeing Erin’s progress with doing school work at home and obviously this is something I wouldn’t normally get to see. It’s also a nice feeling that I’m helping her to learn some of it, even if we do get frustrated with each other at times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What was your positive for last week? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We finally had some snow yesterday! Erin was bouncing with excitement as soon as she saw it and couldn’t wait to go out and play.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We headed over the road to the park and made the most of the fresh, untouched snow before it all got slushy and horrible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you get snow where you live? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lockdown week 3... how’s everyone feeling?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won’t lie, I’m struggling. I feel like most of the fun has gone out of life. I struggle to find something to look forward to. Having trips away booked for later in the year aren’t cutting it because I just don’t know whether they’ll go ahead. It seems like it’s going to be quite some time before even a meal might be possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This year I wanted us to be able to go on better adventures. I’ve finally gotten so sick of neither me or John being able to drive that we decided to do something about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week John’s provisional licence arrived and the other day he went for his eye test and ordered new glasses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were hoping that John would be able to drive by winter but I think right now that isn’t looking so likely. The plan was for John to do a couple of months of regular lessons and then finish off with an intensive course.

Now we just have to wait until lessons can actually be booked and get started!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Center Parcs March 2020... about 2 weeks before the first lockdown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t believe how small and young Erin looks in this picture. This holiday somehow seems like a minute ago but also a lifetime ago all at the same time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year a lot of holidays got cancelled and we rebooked thinking that this year they might be safe. Our first should be 3 nights in London during the 2nd week of the Easter holidays but right now, I’m not sure that’s going to happen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This time I’m glad we haven’t got Erin too excited about anything and she doesn’t really know about anything we’ve got booked or when it should be happening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you rebook anything for this year? Do you think it will go ahead?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lets talk about wellies...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a plus size woman I struggle SO hard to find wellies that actually it. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve had a pair of wellies since I was a child, not proper ones anyway.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My calves are too wide for any regular fitting wellies that I’ve tried so far and in fact, I think I’ve finally given up. I did find these @joules wellibobs in a local shop just after Christmas and they actually fit!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, they’re only short boots so they wouldn’t do me much good in really bad conditions but they will do for a trip to the park or a walk in the woods.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

AD Gifted

This month as part of the @asmodeeuk blogger board game club we've been playing Hint.

Hint is a team game where you need to either hum, draw, talk or mime out clues to different categories. Each category has 5 answers to guess and 1 forbidden answer that will lose you points! The better you are at hinting, the quicker you can get around the board and win.

This game is absolutely hilarious! The categories are hard, some of the answers I've never even heard of so trying to hint at what they are without saying. Hint is a super fun race against time and I can guarantee you'll be laughing so hard trying to work your way through the answers.

Be sure to check out our review which is live on the blog today.⠀

2020 was a lot of things, filled with a lot of ups and downs. I can't look back at last year and be completely negative about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year, I think I finally found my style and embraced my new found love for dresses, especially if they have pockets. I feel more comfortable in clothes than I ever have done, I feel confident and the most important thing is that I feel amazing in a dress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me, what did you achieve in 2020?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
