Erin loves to learn new things and at school this Erin loves to learn new things and at school this term she's been learning a lot about different animals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we're out and about, or even just in the back garden she's always trying to save little bugs or making friends with ladybirds (her favourite). The only thing she isn't a fan of is bees and wasps!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do your little ones like bugs?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #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 #BugHunter
This week has been pretty crap and I'm so thankful This week has been pretty crap and I'm so thankful it's nearly over.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On Wednesday I was in absolute agony with the worst toothache I have ever felt. I couldn't eat, barely slept, cried so much my eyes were so puffy and pain killers weren't helping. After a trip to the dentist and some antibiotics I'm feeling better today and I can't wait to eat some food that isn't yoghurt or soup. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next week I'm starting a pretty big course of dental treatment which includes a root canal and multiple teeth being removed. I'm obviously not looking forward to it, and it's my own fault for not looking after my teeth well enough for years.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I can't afford to have something like dental implants to replace the missing teeth I've decided to ask for dentures and I'll need to wait months while my gums heal until I can have them. The teeth being removed are at the back so it could be a lot worse and honestly, I'd rather have them removed than be in as much pain as I was this week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #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

There are no big days out but Erin has a haircut booked in tomorrow (it’s down to her bum now) and she has a swimming lesson on Sunday morning. As much as I’d love a day out, I’m also looking forward to some down time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your plans for the weekend?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Wroxham #WroxhamBarns #NorfolkBroads #visitorattraction #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #Norfolkbloggers #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #norfolk #northnorfolk #norfolklife #norfolkliving #raisingthefuture #simplychildren #oudoorexplorer #outdoorplay #Whatevertheweatherkid #Explorerkids #Myfamilyadventures #Playfreemylove #childhoodunplugged #cameramama #countryliving #countrylife #getoutside #goexplore #exploremore

Anyone else instantly happier when the sun comes o Anyone else instantly happier when the sun comes out and signs of spring start to show?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The past couple of weeks the weather has been trying to be nicer and I’ve wanted to get out more and enjoy the fresh air. There’s something about not having to wear heavy coats and bulky clothes to keep warm and dry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I’m just on countdown to painting my toe nails and getting the sandals out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Spring #SignsOfSpring #Daffodils #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #norfolk #northnorfolk #norfolklife #norfolkliving #countryliving #countrylife #getoutside #goexplore #exploremore
Fun at the farm! On Saturday we went for our fir Fun at the farm! On Saturday we went for our first proper day out for a long time to @WroxhamBarns. You have to book online and choose an entry time and weekends do get sold out at the moment. We chose a 10am slot, the first of the day, so that we really made the most of our day. Included in the entry is the Junior Farm as well as the Fun Park. We visited on one of the lambing weekends, the one after all of the lambs had been born. Erin’s homework last week was to learn more about baby animals so this was a perfect place for us to visit. You can also see goats, alpacas, chickens, just to name a few! Erin’s favourite is the Fun Park though where you can go on rides, play mini golf and use the jumping pillow and ride on go karts as much as you like. It does get quite busy but we never had to wait too long to use anything. Food and drink is available, which you can order online and have delivered to a table outside if you want. There’s also loads of space to sit if you want to have a picnic and that’s what we did. There will be a full review on the blog today in case you want more details! #Wroxham #WroxhamBarns #NorfolkBroads #visitorattraction #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
I wish I could say that I find being a parent easy I wish I could say that I find being a parent easy, or that I could say that I absolutely love it... but neither of those things would be true.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The truth is I really struggle sometimes and I have done really since Erin was born. Things have been particularly tough recently with Erin going through a thing of just not listening us not being able to talk to her when she’s upset or angry. It can get really hard when we’re out as she’s determined to run off so she can have some space on her own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though I try to keep calm, I mostly want to hide away somewhere and not deal with it. Of course, that’s not really an option!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re always trying to find ways that work for us all as a family but it’s a lot of trial and error, sometimes shouting and even crying before we get there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #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 #RealParenting
What a day! We started by leaving the house at 7:5 What a day! We started by leaving the house at 7:50 this morning and we got back at 6:45 this evening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was so worth it though to see some adorable baby animals at @WroxhamBarns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Full review to come in a few days!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Wroxham #WroxhamBarns #NorfolkBroads #visitorattraction #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
I like to think I'm quite an organised person. I l I like to think I'm quite an organised person. I like lists, planners and getting anything done as far in advance as I possibly can.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The other day I shared on stories about wrapping presents for Erin's friends in a sort of batch sitting and had loads of messages about it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm one of those people that shop all year round for birthday presents and Christmas and try to get bargains where I can. I have a whole shelf in my office for things I can use for gifts. I try to save money on things like wrapping paper (Lidl do good sized rolls) as well as cards and bags. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There was a lot of love for the bags which were from @cardfactoryplc. The cards are also from Card Factory at the amazing price of 5 for £1. If you have children these are fab for stocking up ready for any birthday that pops up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you do to stay organised? Or are you more of a wing it type of person?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tribenorfolk #igersnorfolk #igerseastanglia #NorfolkParent #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #snaphappybritmums #norfolk #northnorfolk #norfolklife #norfolkliving #ParentPlanning #ChildrensBirthdays #BeingOrganised #LifePlanning #BirthdayPresents #CardFactory
A few weeks ago I saw a pair of demin joggers in S A few weeks ago I saw a pair of demin joggers in Sainsbury’s and fell in love but they didn’t have my size and I couldn’t get them online.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was so excited when I found some in Next and did a happy dance when they arrived AND they fit. They’re sooooo comfortable and light so they’re perfect for summer. I might have ordered them in another colour too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DenimJoggers #ukparentbloggers #blogging #blogger #ukbloggers #discoverunder5k #itsabloggerslife #Norfolkbloggers #NorfolkMum #honestmotherhood #family #familylife #daytodaylife #lifeupclose #parentsinthepicture #documentyourlife #beinthepicture #metime #gettoknowme #lovethecamera #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizestyle #mycurvescollective #ukblogger #ukplussize #plussizeclothes #psblogger #fullfiguredfashion
