Although blogging is one of my favourite things in the world, it can actually at times be frustrating, stressful and leave me feeling pretty down. It’s

    Today I'm feeling ALL of the emotions as Pearl met Today I'm feeling ALL of the emotions as Pearl met her reception teacher and visited her new classroom ready for September 🥰 She was super excited and loved all the different activities set up around the classroom, although she clung to my leg and went silent any time an adult spoke to her 🤣 

Overall, I think she's ready for school and once she gets over her shyness she will settle in. It's also lovely having Violet just in the next room. I just worry as she's not even 4 yet and seemed so tiny! 🥺

I'm feeling so sad my littlest baby is off to school, but also excited that the girls will be at the same place, at the same time - life will be SO much easier. I'm glad we've still got the summer to enjoy and a couple more weeks of our 'Pearlie days' before Violet breaks up from school 🥰

Have you got a little one starting reception this year? How are you feeling about it? ☕️
    Dipping our toes into another crazy week like.... Dipping our toes into another crazy week like.... 🤣

We are rolling from one manic week to the next at the moment. Does anyone else feel the same? 🤯 This week Pearl starts her primary school transition and meets her new reception teacher, plus it's her graduation ceremony at pre-school, so I'm feeling ALL the emotions about that 😭💔. 

It's also Violet's first ever sports day and to top it off V is away for work, so the car decided to go spectacularly wrong, costing us £1100 😳 Yep, you read that right, I hope those new brake pads and tyres are diamond-encrusted for that price. 😩 

This week is going to be manic, but I'm counting down the days to our holiday! 🌞 

What is your week looking like? 💕
    #AD | Is it possible to get 5 minutes peace with a #AD | Is it possible to get 5 minutes peace with a dog in the house? The answer is absolutely not! 😆 I decided to relax in a nice hot bath and pamper myself, but Dolly had other ideas! She is tall enough now to open the door and let herself in, where she promptly helped herself to my bathwater! 🙈

Instead of shutting her out, she loves to be by my side so we brushed our teeth together. Dolly loves @purinauki Dentalife ActivFresh sticks, she has one a day to keep her breath nice and fresh. 

Dentalife ActivFresh sticks are scientifically proven to reduce tartar build-up. The chewy porous texture provides a natural cleaning action that reaches even those hard to reach teeth. 
So, we both have fresh, clean breath together! 🥰

    BEAUTIFUL DOG WALKS #5: 📍 Barcombe Mills, Lewes BEAUTIFUL DOG WALKS #5:
📍 Barcombe Mills, Lewes, East Sussex 

This week we tried a walk I've been wanting to do for AGES - Of course, it poured with rain, but we didn't let that get in our way. Barcombe Mills is a beautiful trail following the River Ouse, with a number of weirs, little wooden bridges, beautiful waterside woodland and peaceful countryside views. 

🚗 We parked in the Barcombe Mills car park which is free (BN8 5BX)

🚶🏼‍♀️ We did a loop which was around 5km from the carpark to The Anchor Inn pub and back round along the other side of the river. This is also a fabulous spot for wild swimming, paddleboarding and there are boats to hire at the pub too. 

☕ The only thing missing from this walk was a lovely coffee shop! There is a pub with the prettiest garden, but it was closed at the time we went, I reckon it'll be busy on a warm summer's day! 

🐶 This was a dog friendly walk, although you may need to use a lead around livestock.

Where shall we explore on our next beautiful dog walk?

🙌🏻✨ Save this post for later & tag me if you try this walk✨ 🙌🏻

Also big thanks to @regattaoutdoors for the raincoat,  it's part of the @rochellehumes range and it was needed! ☔️ (pr product)
    I am not a fashion blogger - can you tell 🤣 But I am not a fashion blogger - can you tell 🤣 But when I heard Dawn O'Porter @hotpatooties had designed a collection of @Joanieclothing dresses I just HAD to get in on the action! So, here is my dress - I think I might be in LOVE! 😍 it's so swooshy and it has POCKETS. Oh yes it does! The dream 🤩 Too fancy to wear on the school run though? No way! 😘

    ad | Celebrate #PrideMonth with us! 🌈 This week ad | Celebrate #PrideMonth with us! 🌈 This weekend we had a little teaparty for the girls to celebrate Pride! Being a two mum family it’s so important our girls know that families come in all shapes and sizes and that they should all be celebrated! 🙌🏻✨

We decorated the room with a huge rainbow balloon arch (which the girls ADORED) a cute ‘Love is Love’ banner and we feasted on cupcakes and rainbow fruit skewers. I bought it all from the new Pride Range at @Morrisons, which had everything you need for the perfect Pride party. The range is super budget-friendly and allowed us to keep the costs down by celebrating at home.

For us, teaching the girls about Pride is so important, by educating our children about the LGBTQ+ community, diverse families and that ‘Love is Love’ we are creating a world where hopefully one day Pride Month won't have to be a reminder to push for equal rights and justice.

Do you have any Pride celebrations to look forward to? 🌈

    ad | This weekend we headed to into Brighton to th ad | This weekend we headed to into Brighton to the
@inspiredbyengland2022 UEFA Women’s Euro Roadshow which is touring the country ahead of kick-off on the 6th July 2022. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

I have to admit, I’ve never really followed football, so I wasn’t sure what to expect -but after Violet said ‘I can’t play football, it’s a boys sport’, I thought it would be
the perfect event to show her otherwise! 󰚗

The Women’s Euro Roadshow is an inclusive, family and community event which is completely free to attend. It’s a special festival of football, fitness and music, with
plenty of interactive activities for all the family.

We had a great time visiting all the different stands - a favourite was where we had to cheer a goal being scored, it filmed you and made a little replay on the screen -
so much fun! There was also a trophy visit (the REAL trophy, which Pearl nealy touched with her sticky gingerbread crumb fingers 🤣) facepainting, a tv studio
experience and more. The girls had lots of fun, as well as learning a few football techniques and how to be a referee, but most importantly that GIRLS CAN PLAY
FOOTBALL! ⚽️

You can catch the Roadshow on it’s final stop in London on 2nd July, or there are tickets for the Brighton game still available! 󰚗

    Happy Sunday! 🎈 It's been a challenging week, o Happy Sunday! 🎈 It's been a challenging week, one poorly child, another HUGE head bump, two doctors visits, numerous work deadlines and various stresses - WHAT A WEEK 😫 The only thing l could think to do was to turn the hot tub into a huge rainbow balloon party to celebrate that we made it through and that tomorrow is a new week! And it's got to be better, right? 🤞🏻
p.s - swipe for the moment Dolly decided to launch at the balloons 🤣

    #AD | The sun is finally shining so it’s time to #AD | The sun is finally shining so it’s time to get the washing out onto the line! ☀️ I’m so excited to introduce to you Fairy’s new fabric conditioner, Fairy Fresh. Myself and my partner V have been using it to keep the girls bedding super soft, snuggly and smelling gorgeously fresh too. It has that fresh, Fairy signature scent whilst offering a really gentle clean which is perfect for little ones with sensitive skin too! 🙌🏻✨ #FairyFresh @JoyOfClean
    ad Do you feel like you have got too much stuff an ad Do you feel like you have got too much stuff and need a good declutter? ME TOO! I feel like every time I open a cupboard door, I feel like an avalanche is about to happen! 🤣 So, today I thought I’d show you a brilliant way to share the things you no longer need with your neighbours! 

If you’ve seen my stories, you’ll know I’ve been loving the @Olio.App - we used it recently to declutter Pearl’s baby toys and on the Jubilee weekend when we bought too many burger buns - but did you know you can do so much more 👀

You can list all different things from around the house - clothes you no longer wear, food if you’ve ordered extra (make sure it’s in date!), toys or household items. You can also use the ‘borrow’ service to lend your neighbours items you don’t often use like a lawn mower or hedge trimmer. 

It feels so rewarding to give and share my items with my neighbours and see them being put to good use, rather than them collecting dust at home - plus, we all love a good declutter right?! 
Download the @olio.app free from the app store and give it a try! 🙌🏻

    ad | Dolly is a year old now and she has just slot ad | Dolly is a year old now and she has just slotted into our family perfectly - although I admit having a puppy and two kids has been beautiful chaos at times! 🤯 I am used to the muddy paw prints, the boisterous cuddle as she greets you at the door, the dog hairs on EVERYTHING, but one thing we don’t have to worry about is smelly dog breath 🥴

Dolly still has her sweet, puppy breath for those close up snuggles (and she LOVES to snuggle… she has no concept of personal space!) We keep this in check by looking after her teeth by giving her @purinauki Dentalife ActivFresh dog chews once a day. They are made with natural ingredients, designed to fight bad breath at its source - with honey and spirulina which helps to neutralise bad breath bacteria, rather than just cover it up. She adores them and gets excited just by seeing the packet! 

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be telling you a lot more about @purinauki Dentalife ActivFresh and will be showing you how we incorporate them into Dolly’s routine to keep her breath as fresh as a daisy! 🌼

Do you have a dog? I’d love to know more about them! 🥰
