    5 ideas for a weekend away in the UK

    25 January, 20165 January, 2017

However, this year is going to be different. As we are having lots of work done on our house, we are looking to save as

    TRAVEL: 5 ways to improve your travel photography via Instagram

    25 October, 20157 December, 2017

    The way we take photos on holiday has changed so much over the last few years. When I was little, we would take our photos and have to wait until the end of the holiday to get the rolls of films developed, oh the excitement of getting the holiday snaps back was unreal – let

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

    2 October, 20155 January, 2017

    For some reason, although I’ve travelled to many places around the world – I’ve never been on a cruise! I have to say I had a bit of a funny impression of cruises, I think the fact that you have to dress up for dinner and that you only stop for a short time at

    AD Summer might be a bit different this year, but AD Summer might be a bit different this year, but luckily we’ve had some gorgeous weather which is certainly helping us through lockdown! It’s easy to forget to wear sunscreen when you are stuck at home, but as we are out in the garden most days we’ve made it into our routine, along with putting on our shoes and hats - so the girls are fully ready for the sun from the moment they leave the door. For the children, I like to use @SunSenseUK as it offers a high level of protection against the sun’s harmful rays. SunSense Kids SPF 50+ suitable for little ones over 6 months, fragrance-free and dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. We find making it into a game, spotting cream on their nose and tummies to make them giggle helps encourage them to put on their sunscreen, as we all know toddlers can be wriggly! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also make sure not to forget about myself (isn’t it easy to do when you are worried about the children’s sun protection?) so I use SunSense Ultra SPF 50+ which is suitable for all the family. It’s so important everyone uses a high factor SPF 50+ to offer UVA AND UVB broad-spectrum protection when the UV index is 3 or more to offer the highest levels of protection. So, whether we are getting the paddling pool out for a day in the garden or heading out for a trip to the beach, our SunSense sunscreen comes with us to protect the entire family. The bottles are the perfect size to pop in the change bag for use on the go too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information head over to @SunSenseUK or head to www.sunsense.co.uk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo credit: @nicolajacksonphotography

    Phew! It's finally the WEEKEND 🙌🏻 What a wee Phew! It's finally the WEEKEND 🙌🏻 What a week it's been, we've had highs: 🌈 Pearl started nursery 🎉 A Pick'n'mix tuck shop delivery from @thetuckshophouse 👏🏻 We got to play in the park for the first time in months! And lows... 🐭 The mouse situation 🚗 Two flat tyres ☕️ Sleepless /disturbed nights But... we made it! Another week down and on the whole, I'm feeling so much more positive for getting out in the fresh air and being able to explore a bit further. I still coat us in a gallon of hand sanitiser every time we leave the door, but we are getting somewhere. Tomorrow it looks like we are off to fruit picking again - we gave the girls the choice of the zoo or fruit picking and they chose Pick-your-own. Phew, I'm relieved, last time I took Pearl to the zoo she was licking the glass of the monkey enclosure... not sure I'm ready for that level of germ-panic yet 🤮 What are you up to this weekend?
    AD Over the last few months, regular hand washing AD Over the last few months, regular hand washing has become part of our routine - not that we didn’t wash our hands before but we are more conscious of it nowadays than ever. Both of the girls have been really great at keeping their hands clean and happily totter off to wash their hands before eating or if they get messy or sticky. We also wash our hands whenever we enter our home from being outside. The only issue with such frequent hand washing is that using lots of soap can leave hands dry, irritated and even cracked which can be sore, especially for little ones with their delicate, soft skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve switched to using the @QVSkincareUK range to gently cleanse and hydrate the skin, without irritation. The QV Gentle Wash is a great alternative to soap-based cleansers, it’s fragrance free, non-drying and pH balanced for a gentle approach to clean hands. After gently towel drying our hands we’ve been using the QV Cream, which is rich and moisturising which helps to keep our hands feeling super soft! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ QV’s range of emollient cleansers and moisturisers are not just for hands, they can be used all over the body to help manage dry and sensitive skin. The products are available on prescription or to buy online or in stores. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information head to @QVSkincareUK or www.qvskincare.co.uk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo Credit: @nicolajacksonphotography
    Today was a big day for this little one, Pearl sta Today was a big day for this little one, Pearl started nursery! 🙌🏼 She had her first settling in session and although a bit nervous and clingy to start, she was soon starting to look around the room, noticing all the exciting toys, games and activities that lay in store! 🥰 At the end of her session we had a little play in the garden where at first she wouldn't let go of my hand, but by the end she was whizzing down the slide not wanting to leave! I was allowed in today (in full PPE!) but tomorrow will be her first settle without me. I think it'll be a tricky drop-off but with Violet by her side and all those exciting toys to look at I'm sure she'll be just fine! I'll let you know how we get on...... 👀🤞🏻 📸: @nicolajacksonphotography

    And just like that, some normality has finally com And just like that, some normality has finally come into our lives as this little one had her first day back at nursery today! She woke up at 6am so eager to get going - jumping on my bed she said 'quick, let's go, it's time to see my friends!', we got dressed and drove the long way to kill some time, but still ended up 30 minutes early so we had to wait in the car and wave eagerly at the staff who were only just arriving and probably thought we were nuts 😆 . Drop off was fine, she hesitated at first, but it was all new - dropping her at the main door, hand sanitiser, temperature taken and all the staff in masks has to be a little daunting to children, but she took it in her stride, eager to show her keywoker her new Frozen bag. She walked in without any tears, looking back saying 'Bye bye Mummy' and that was it! 🥰 . The whole day went by and I had some lovely quality time with Pearl, we haven't had a day together in ages so it was nice to give her my full attention and get a bit of work done in her nap too! . At pick up, Violet ran out to greet us with the biggest smile on her face! It made me feel weirdly emotional as it was like after all those sleepless nights agonising over whether it was the right thing to send her back, her face said it all - it was definitely the right decision, she was SO HAPPY. She played with all her friends all day and had a brilliant day. I could tell by how exhausted and hungry she's been this evening. So, all round it's win win for us all - Violet loved it and I really enjoyed a slower pace of life and some 'me time'. Roll on next week when Pearl has her settling in sessions. I won't know what to do with myself for two full child-free days!! 😝

    AD GIFTED | Happy #PrideMonth!! 🌈 I know this y AD GIFTED | Happy #PrideMonth!! 🌈 I know this year just won't be the same with Pride events cancelled, but there are ways we can still bring Pride to our homes, whether it is through a Pride Zoom Party with friends, reading about LGBTQ+ history, donating to LGBTQ+ charities or by marking the occasion in any way that feels special to you. Living in Brighton, I often forget that I'm in a very lucky to live in a vibrant, diverse and friendly city where you can be who you want to be, but in a lot of areas around the world (and even in the UK) this isn't the same. Therefore, we must always remember that pride isn't just about having a party and waving a flag, it's a protest to fight until everyone in the world has the same equality. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with my happy, loving family - but they do and in some countries, it would be illegal. I just hope one day this won't be the case and we can just let each other be. Love is love. Until then, we must keep fighting 🏳️‍🌈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to the wonderful people at @BloomandWild for sending me these gorgeous blooms in celebration of Pride month. If you'd like £10 off your order, use my code FIZZYPEACHES 🌸 Enjoy!
