Our Plans For The Weekend - 9th June - 11th June

Hello,

This weekend we are having a busy one, which is nice and we are doing things we wouldn’t normally do!

So today is 8^th June which is the voting day and my mother-in-law Jayne stays up and watches the voting results so has booked the day off tomorrow which is Friday.

Friday 9^th Me, Daphney and Jayne are spending the day together, which will be nice. I’m not sure what we’re doing but I’m sure whatever it is it will be nice!

Saturday 10^th Me and John are going to do a car boot (there a great way to get rid of things you don’t use and make money at the same time! *BONUS* then in the afternoon we will be going to the Cheltenham Food and Drinks festival (There is a post below on what happened last year) I think it will be weird going back

A.      For the last 3 years I have worked at the festival with Wholefoods and I even did the festival when I worked at Jamie’s Italian

B.      Last time I went I was pregnant with Daphney and now I’m going with Daphney!

The Food and Drink festival has a lot of yummy stalls for people to browse and chop their way through as well as guest speakers

Sunday 11^th we are going to Polo, I will be doing an outfit of the day with what me and Daphney will be wearing! I and John have been to Polo before and it is such a great day out, with games, and stalls for moouching around. We are going with Daphney’s God parents Chris, Loren and their two children as well as 6 of our other friends and were going to take a picnic.

What are you doing this weekend?

It's been a while Crocodile

Hello loves

So... it's been a while since I last posted, there is a few things to catch you up on and I know I always say "I'm going to be better at blogging and keep posting blah blah blah" but this time I mean it *brownies promise* 

I'm not too sure when to begin so this post will just be me rambling!

Daphney is now 6 and 1/2 months old, time is flying by!!! Everyone always says how quickly it goes and for those of you without kids it honestly does FLY BY. We are weaning now, so keep an eye out for some weaning posts and recipes which you might find helpful. 

Daphney is still in our room.... I just can't let go yet I love waking up in the night and seeing her next to me, she is however in her new crib which has been pasted down John's family for 100 years and is a lot bigger than her Moses basket.

We have been on a few mini holidays the most recent to Edinburgh which was beautiful and we went by plane so again watch out for a post on traveling with babies.

We are planning Daphney's christening for 15th July at Tewkesbury abbey so that has been keeping us busy!!

We still go to Tatty Bumpkins which is baby yoga and Daphney loves going! 

I have now fully healed from my csection, the scar is slowly disappearing which I think I must be the only woman ever to be sad about! I'm not sure why but I wanted it to stay and be a proper scar call me crazy! I will be doing an update etc on healing and tips to help heal quicker.

I am just rambling now so will leave this as is for now! 

Keep an eye out for more posts soon

Thank you for reading
