Today we were supposed to be heading off to @haven Today we were supposed to be heading off to @havenseashore for a break before the summer holidays. We decided to cancel a while ago as we didn't want to go without the use of all of the facilities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Erin loves a caravan holiday and it's sad we won't get another this year, or maybe even next year. We have a couple of big holidays booked for 2021 and 2022 so unless we go in a half term it's not looking likely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @havenofficial I'm sure we'll be back one day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #havenseashoreholidaypark #havenseashore #havenparkoftheyear #seashoreholidaypark #seashorecaravanpark #greatyarmouth #greatyarmouthbeach #norfolk #norfolkcoast #haven #havenholidaypark #norfolkholiday #loveseashore #myseashoredays #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #Norfolkbloggers #familyholiday
It's been so nice to finally get back out to walki It's been so nice to finally get back out to walking along the canal with John. Being out in the garden so much lately, and the awful weather, has meant that we haven't had a lot of time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On Friday we did one of our old walks and I ended up at nearly 16,000 steps for the day. That's a lot more than I would usually do and I could definitely feel it afterwards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ukparentbloggers #blogging #blogger #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #lovethecamera #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizestyle #mycurvescollective #ukblogger #ukplussize #plussizeclothes #size22style #psblogger #fullfiguredfashion
AD Sometimes we get a bit stuck for what to play AD Sometimes we get a bit stuck for what to play if we're outside. Something I didn't think of until recently was bringing some 'indoor' toys into the garden.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The @SmobyUK supermarket is a great way to encourage children to role play. The supermarket comes with some fantastic accessories, like the trolley, real flashing scanner and a till with a calculator that really works.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep an eye on the blog as there will be a full review next week!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can buy the Smoby Supermarket from @veryuk with a RRP of £79.99⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SmobyUK #ToyReview #toysforkids #newtoy #instakids #capturingthesememories #staylittle #thebestmoments #childhoodunplugged #simplychildren #raisingthefuture #Littlefierceones #Mydarlingmemory #Rememberingthesedays #Perfectandproud #parentbloggers #ukparentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #norfolkblogger #norfolkbloggers #snaphappybritmums #toytester
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
