    TRAVEL: 5 Alternative Cruise Destinations that look out of this world!

This is the @floately Airsai levitating plant pot with super snazzy magnetic technology. It's designed to bring a calming, soothing vibe to your home which in turn lowers stress and eases anxiety. I can see why as I could watch it spin for hours! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโฃ I've written a full review over on the blog, so head over to read more about the Airsai, plus I'll pop another magical floating video on my stories too! ๐ŸŒฟ
    "God made us sisters, hearts made us friends". Tha "God made us sisters, hearts made us friends". That saying is with me forever as it was stitched onto a cushion my own sister gave me when I was 10 years old. Even though I had a sister, we never grew up together. I was raised an only child, as my sister Viv was 16 years older than me and had a life-threatening condition called Cystic Fibrosis. She died when I was 17 following a heart-lung transplant. She was only 33 - which is younger than I am now. I feel so sad she had her life taken away from her so young, and so very sad that we never really got to have that sisterly bond - she was always an adult to me and I was a child. I told her I'd pass my driving test and take her out for a coffee, but she passed away when I was still having lessons. We never even got to have that coffee - as grown-up sisters. ๐Ÿ’” That's why I had my girls so close together. I wanted them to have what I missed, what I always wished for with Viv. Just when it was within our grips, she was gone. She lived in same village I now live close to Brighton. We sat on this beach together and she said 'if you see the sea sparkling, it'll be me visiting you' so we go to the beach often. She will never be forgotten, but for now, my girls will always have each other. Sisters ๐Ÿ’•

We've been through such a rough patch but I think it must have been a developmental leap as her speech has suddenly come on too. I blinked and suddenly she's more grown up than ever. But Phew....

    AD GIVEAWAY | With the warmer weather FINALLY here AD GIVEAWAY | With the warmer weather FINALLY here, I thought it would be the perfect time to share the new @Playmobil 1-2-3 AQUA range, which is just perfect for water and garden play in the sunshine! ๐ŸŒž The 1-2-3 range is designed for toddlers aged 18 months - 4 years as the pieces are larger and chunkier than regular Playmobil, which are easier to manipulate with smaller hands. The sets also do not include smaller pieces which could be choking hazards. We have been loving the Splish Splash Water Park, which is such a fun little 'water park' with a water wheel, cute characters and more - the girls love whizzing the water around using the wheel and watching the little characters bob about! The Water Seesaw and Water Carousel make the perfect accompaniments to the set to create your own little Aquapark in the garden! ๐ŸŒฟ Both of my girls absolutely LOVE water play so these toys have been perfect. Water Play provides really helps with developing children's creativity and imagination, as well as their eye-hand coordination and problem solving too! If you'd like to win a Playmobil 1.2.3.

    Eek! I just signed up for my first 10k run! ๐Ÿ… Eek! I just signed up for my first 10k run! ๐Ÿ… This time last year I started my Couch 2 5k journey and at the time I couldn't run for 60 seconds. I'd had two little ones under two, subjected my body to two rounds of IVF hormones and piled on nearly 3 stone in the process. I felt like I didn't recognise myself anymore. When I started running it was a real struggle, it felt like I would NEVER improve and I nearly gave up. I didn't enjoy those first weeks, at all. But, determined to carry on, I finished Couch 2 5K a few months later and realised that my running journey wasn't just about running. I started to feel fitter, stronger and uplifted as I reclaimed my body back. But, most importantly for me, it was boosting my mental health as we navigated through the strangest, hardest year of COVID19. After my run I feel energised, happier and I'm more patient as a mother. Since completing the 5k I've kept up with my running, but without a training plan. I just go running when I have the time and although I love getting out there, I needed something to focus on, to train for... so I signed up for a 10k! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ I'm going to need to train hard, but I've got a few months to go so I'm sure I can do it ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป Have you run a 10k? I'd love to hear your training tips! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
    I'm just a girl, covered in paint, renovating my g I'm just a girl, covered in paint, renovating my garden ๐ŸŒฟ Yep, I never thought I'd say that, ever! Little old me used to cry if I broke a nail (okay, maybe not cry... ) but now I'm getting my hands dirty and planned out a huge garden renovation to keep me busy over Spring and Summer and I am LOVING it. I never knew that DIY jobs could be so rewarding. I've always told myself I wouldn't know how or I wouldn't be good enough, but I've learned that if I just give it a go actually I can. It's been a learning curve (i.e - don't open a pressurised can of paint near your face ๐Ÿคฏ) but learning a new skill has been such a boost, plus I've been enjoying the fresh air and calmness of the garden. The girls really love gardening, planting seeds and watching them grow. They also helped with the painting. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Some new things I've been doing have been: ๐ŸŒฟ Painting the fence ๐ŸŒฟ Planting grass seed ๐ŸŒฟ Marking out the flower beds ๐ŸŒฟ Painting the edging ๐ŸŒฟ Taking cuttings and propagating new plants ๐ŸŒฟ Growing tomatoes, strawberries, sweetcorn, lupins, sunflowers, with lots more planned ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿซ‘๐Ÿฅฌ Next week the new climbing frame arrives so the pressure is on to get it looking good! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I've added a Garden Renovations highlight to my IG if that's your thing, but I'm so proud of it so far ๐Ÿ’• Have you learned a new skill during lockdown, I'd love to hear all about it? ๐ŸŒฟ
