    TRAVEL STYLING: Turkish Delight – A Daytime to Evening Versatile Maxi-Dress

    10 September, 20155 January, 2017

    As the weather in Turkey was so hot, loose clothes are a must. So, with that in mind when I saw this gorgeous floaty Cawthorne Temple Tiles Maxi-Dress from Fat Face (£60.00) I knew it would be just perfect – the pattern reminds me of the intricate patterns found within a Mosque or maybe the

    INSTAGRAM VS REALITY..... On holiday with kids 🤣 Don't get me wrong we had a wonderful time in Turkey, but holidays with kids are NEVER relaxing are they? The constant supervision in the pool, being asked for ice cream 49827439 times (before 8am) and carting round tired children, buggies and bags, just for a simple trip to the pool is exhausting! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I loved our holiday but I think I need another one to get over it 🤣
    AD | Can you believe we have had Dolly a year now? AD | Can you believe we have had Dolly a year now? 🥰🐶 Although it's been chaos at times it has been such a fun year with SO many sweet memories! From that first emotional meeting and just how TINY she was to her first birthday - I have tried to capture all those memories along the way. I still remember surprising the girls with her and giving her a first bath…. And when I tried to take her for her first walk and she mainly rolled on her back 🤣 Since then it's been wonderful watching her grow and involving her with all our special days like Halloween, Christmas, celebrating the Queen's jubilee and of course, her first birthday. Getting a puppy is like welcoming a new baby into the house and she is truly a member of our family 🥰 To celebrate I made her a first-year book with all of those moments so we can keep all those special moments together as a gorgeous keepsake. It was so quick and easy to create on the @PhotoboxUK website. I selected all of my favourite photos and the Photobox website was able to sort them by date order and add them into my book automatically, allowing me to just make some quick amendments and finishing touches. It is such a gorgeous book to look through, something we will keep forever! ✨ Also - @Photobox are currently offering 50% off photobooks with my code PEACHES22! So head to the website and make yours now! 🙌🏻 #letsgomakestories 🎥📸: @carolinefhood / @carolinefhoodcreative

    Happy 4th Birthday Pearl ✨ I can't believe you Happy 4th Birthday Pearl ✨ I can't believe you are FOUR - where did that time go? You are the sweetest, funniest little person I've ever met. You keep us on our toes and make us laugh every single day with your jokes and funny ways. People are often captivated by that sweet smile, but will find out the hard way that you've got a cheeky side too! 🤣 You are mischievous, you know your own mind and are such a strong, brave little girl. You also have such a strong intuition about people and places - you know your own boundaries so well and stick to them - I need to take a leaf from your book and learn to do the same. You are one in a million, our little Pearlie 🥰 I hope you had the best day in Turkey and a birthday to remember! #eftaliaocean #fouryearold #itsmybirthday

    When I turned the page on my calendar at the begin When I turned the page on my calendar at the beginning of July, this was our July photo and every time I come into the kitchen it makes me smile, it's one of my favourites! It feels like five seconds ago, although actually it's a year ago. Can you believe it? SO much has happened in that year, just seeing this photo again has made me realise how much we've grown and shaped as a family (as well as possibly ageing 50 years too 🤣) ✨ Violet has finished Reception year ✨ Pearl has graduated pre-school and starts school in September ✨ Dolly is now 1 and SO much bigger - we've had her a year on her gotcha day (11th Aug). ✨ I feel like I'm coming out of the trenches of motherhood, I'm getting my fitness back on track, my work is really busy which makes me so proud, I've made new school mum friends, taken up sea swimming and am going to the SAHARA this year to walk 100km! 🙌🏻 ✨ And V, you know she hates me talking about her on here, but she's been through some stressful times and made it out the other end smiling and ALWAYS there for her family no matter what life throws at her. So, I wonder what the next year will hold for us? How has your life changed over the year? 🥰 📸: @nicolajacksonphotography
    It's the school holidays and I started the week fe It's the school holidays and I started the week feeling totally overwhelmed - we haven't done an official 'summer holiday' before so the idea of six long weeks to fill with fun activities and entertainment for the kids (as well as juggling working, cooking, cleaning etc) was about to send me over the edge. But like usual, you all had my back. You sent me some amazing DM's and supportive messages, so many of you were feeling the same too, so it inspired me to share this reel, plus a few of your tips for anyone feeling the same 🥰 ✨ Take each day and week as it comes - don't look at it as the whole six weeks ✍🏻 Make a simple planner with what you are going to do every day, including quiet time and days at home 👒 Kids don't need expensive big days out, trips to the park or the beach are great fun 🙌🏻 Staying at home is fun too! Baking cakes, building dens, watching movies are all great ideas. 🍰 It's the little moments that count. 🍓 Look up free, local events and groups 💤 The kids are exhausted from school, they need some down time! 👩🏼‍💻 Don't beat yourself up if you need to juggle other jobs at times. 🙌🏻 It's the memories together they will remember On the plus side, we are halfway through the first week and not having the school run every morning is HUGE bonus in itself! 🙌🏻🤣 But we are doing just fine. We've got this! Let me know if you have anymore tips! How are you getting on? #schoolsoutforsummer
    Snippets of our day at @legolandwindsor 🙌🏻 I Snippets of our day at @legolandwindsor 🙌🏻 It was hot, busy (we were a bit crazy going on the first Saturday of the summer holidays 😆) but we had a fab time and still managed to do SO much. Faves were Coastguard HQ, Fairytale Brook and Aero Nomad... plus Violet loved the pirate show (Pearl found it terrifying and we later found out she thought they were real pirates 😭). I found our first visit quite overwhelming as its HUGE (I've already made a list of things we missed for next time!) so I'm putting together a post with some tips and things we found helpful which I'll share this week. Any tips you'd add for a first time visitor? 😍 * gifted @legolandwindsor gold annual passes
    a d | Aah, memories! 🥰 I can still remember t a d | Aah, memories! 🥰 I can still remember this time in our life so vividly - I couldn’t believe this tiny baby was ours. We had wanted children for so long, it felt like a dream. I’d just stare at this little baby in awe. Nothing prepares you for the overwhelming, all-consuming love you feel as a new parent, does it? As a same-sex couple, starting a family can be daunting so I wanted to take you right back to the very beginning of our journey and talk about choosing our sperm donor. For us, we decided to go down the fertility treatment route, using donated sperm from a bank like @fairfaxcryobank - here are the three main things we looked for: MEDICAL HISTORY - Having Cystic Fibrosis in my family a medical screening was a priority. Donors are thoroughly screened medically so this was super reassuring. We were also able to find out his family medical history dating right back to parents/grandparents too. PHYSICAL & PERSONALITY TRAITS - Looking through all the cute donor baby pictures I wondered what our babies would look like and I see our donor in the girls! Often families gravitate to the person that looks closest to the parents, or the non-biological parent. For us we chose ours hugely on personality, although he was the CUTEST baby too so it was a win win. He sounded like a genuine, intelligent, down to earth man with a real passion for life. He was full of personality and character and reading about him I felt we knew him already. He was the one. REASON FOR BEING A DONOR - It is so important to us for our girls to be able to ask questions about their donor if they wish to. In a handwritten letter, our donor said that he would be happy to do so. He said he also loved children and just wanted to give people the chance of having a baby so he seemed perfect. 🥰 Are you just starting out on your TTC journey? Did you know that @fairfaxcryobank is offering free Full Unlimited Access to view unlimited donor profile products for 90 days, saving $149? Promo code LYNDSAY2022 expires Jan 1, 2023. Are you a donor conceived family? I’d love to hear your tips or stories too! 🙌🏻 📸: @kittywshaw / @kittywsphoto
