I've been plus size for as long as I can remember. I've been plus size for as long as I can remember. I looked back at a picture from 2016 the other day and I know I was a 16/18 then and I'm now a 20/22. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The thing is, a lot of places I shop at, especially for plus size clothes all seem to be quite dark. Don't get me wrong, black is flattering but it's bloody boring. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ John bought me this dress from Sainsbury's and I'm so in love with it (I have it in black too though from last year). It's got a 70s vibe about it and it's just so floaty and beautiful. Light colours are a new thing to me but I'm determined to wear what I love instead of because it's a more flattering colour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @tuclothing #meandtu #size22 #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizestyle #mycurvescollective #ukplussize #plussizeclothes #size22style #psblogger #fullfiguredfashion #fullfigure #ukparentbloggers #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #saycheese #lovethecamera #documentyourdays
You may have seen on our Instagram stories lately You may have seen on our Instagram stories lately that we've having a bit of a garden makeover. Well, a big garden makeover really.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We don't have plants in the garden (apart from a few in pots) so we don't get a lot of creatures or birds coming to see us. In the new area I wanted to make sure that we did something to encourage the wildlife. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have a bird table with a couple of extra feeders added on, a bird house at the back of the fence and a bug hotel attached to the shed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What have you done in your garden to attract more wildlife?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outdoorplay #outdoorlearning ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #getoutdoors #garden #watchthemlearn #backgarden #watchthemgrow #littlestoriesofmylife #theordinarymoments #cherisheverymoment #rememberingthesedays #thisparentlife #littlewonderingeyes #motherhoodmoments #myhappycapture #discoverunder5k #lifeofatoddler #raisingthefuture #simplychildren #oudoorexplorer #outdoorplay #Whatevertheweatherkid #Explorerkids #Myfamilyadventures #Playfreemylove #bloggershomes #houseandgarden #snaphappybritmums #gardenmakeover #bloggersgardens
I can't believe we're on the countdown to the summ I can't believe we're on the countdown to the summer holidays already. Erin only has 8 days left at nursery (she goes Tuesday to Friday) so it's not very long at all until her last day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although we don't have any plans for this summer I am still hoping for a couple of days out. Our favourite local cafe is opening again this week and Erin loves it there. We also have beaches within 15-30 minutes on the train so there are a few places we can go.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm sad it's not the exciting summer we had planned but we do have a nice new play area the garden which I'm constantly working on so I know we'll still have loads of fun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ukparentbloggers #blogging #blogger #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #saycheese #lovethecamera #documentyourdays
I actually can't remember the last time I wore a p I actually can't remember the last time I wore a pair of jeans (they probably don't fit now though). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year I decided to be comfortable in what I wear, rather than wear what I think I should. I love dresses and although my husband might tell you I have enough... I don't! I might have my eye on one from @tuclothing right now!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you feel the most comfortable in?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ukparentbloggers #blogging #blogger #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #saycheese #lovethecamera #documentyourdays #size22 #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizestyle #ukplussize #plussizeclothes #size22style #psblogger

It dawned on me the other day that Erin only has 3 It dawned on me the other day that Erin only has 3 weeks left at nursery. This year has flown by and that date has come around so fast.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We haven't had any details yet about Erin moving up to Reception in September, but should be having a phone call with her teacher in 2 weeks. It's really strange not knowing exactly what's going to happen after the summer holidays and that stresses me out a bit. I'm a planner and I hate not being able to tell Erin what she'll be doing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's also strange having ZERO plans for the summer holidays.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mydarlingmemory #thismamaloves #developinglife #lifecloseup #ukparentbloggers #perfectandproud #oureverydaymoments #childrenofig #cherisheverymoment #motherlylove #dailyparenting #simplychildren #littlestoriesofmylife #humansofjoy #watchthemlearn #letsgokids #littleandbravelifecloseup #littlehumans #mytinymoments #littleloves #enchantedchildhood #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #norfolkblogger #norfolkbloggers #snaphappybritmums
How was everyone's weekend?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Apart from doing more work in the garden, we had a pretty relaxed couple of days. The weather was pretty bad on Saturday so we mostly played at home. On Sunday we managed a trip to the park for a little picnic but we also had to play beat the rain!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think John is already on countdown to the next weekend we get together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ukparentbloggers #blogging #blogger #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #saycheese #lovethecamera #documentyourdays

How's everyone feeling about the relaxed lockdown How's everyone feeling about the relaxed lockdown rules from 4th July?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have to admit, we're really happy about it. We're a non-driving family and we haven't left our small town since March and the most we have done is visit the local canal and small woods close by.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Erin has been begging for some kind of normal day out and I think we can finally give that to her. We won't be going far, only on a 15 minute train journey to the beach but I think we all really need it. We have masks for the train, won't all sit together and we'll try to go earlier in the morning when it might not be as busy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not something I plan on doing very often, as we still shouldn't really use public transport unless we have to. However, we can't get anywhere without it and I figure if people can sit in a pub, or restaurant (with social distancing in place) then we can have a day out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #Norfolkbloggers #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #snaphappybritmums #norfolk #northnorfolk #norfolklife #norfolkliving #raisingthefuture #simplychildren #oudoorexplorer #outdoorplay #Whatevertheweatherkid #Explorerkids #Myfamilyadventures #Playfreemylove #childhoodunplugged #cameramama #countryliving #countrylife #getoutside #goexplore #exploremore #beachdays #NorfolkBeaches
It's been a long couple of weeks but we finally ha It's been a long couple of weeks but we finally have the new, smaller shed up, thanks to our neighbour next door! As you can see, our old shed was HUGE and we really didn't need anything that big. It was also pretty rotten and falling apart. John has been slowly working on taking it down, with a little bit of help from me (destroying things is very satisfying). Over the next couple of months we'll be transforming this back area of the garden into Erin's play area. There's loads of work to do but we have a 2800 litre delivery of play bark coming today so we can start laying some of that down soon. While it's been satisfying to do something so big ourselves, it's been bloody hard work! #outdoorplay #outdoorlearning #getoutdoors #garden #watchthemlearn #backgarden #watchthemgrow #littlestoriesofmylife #theordinarymoments #cherisheverymoment #rememberingthesedays #thisparentlife #littlewonderingeyes #motherhoodmoments #myhappycapture #discoverunder5k #oudoorexplorer #outdoorplay #Whatevertheweatherkid #Explorerkids #Myfamilyadventures #bloggershomes #houseandgarden #snaphappybritmums
Over the past week or so John and I have been real Over the past week or so John and I have been really busy in the garden. Next door offered us a shed and considering ours is way too big, rotten and, well, awful, we snapped his hand off. This has meant digging over an area of land, clearing out all of the random bricks and paving slabs that was under there. It's been really hard work but we're finally there. Tonight the new shed is going up and we can begin work on other things. But, doing all of this work in the garden has meant no walks on an evening for me and John. We're hoping to have an evening off from the garden on Thursday and head out to the canal for a couple of hours instead. #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #Norfolkbloggers #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #snaphappybritmums #norfolk #northnorfolk #norfolklife #norfolkliving #raisingthefuture #simplychildren #oudoorexplorer #outdoorplay #Whatevertheweatherkid #Explorerkids #Myfamilyadventures #Playfreemylove #childhoodunplugged #cameramama #countryliving #countrylife #getoutside #goexplore #exploremore
