Darcie is at an age now where she isn’t quite ready to move beyond dolls, but she’s also starting to get a little old for them. When the mood takes her, she still loves to cuddle and nurture them. However, she quickly bores of it and seems to look for something new. Enter the Baby Born Sister.
If you follow the blog then you will know that we have taken a keen interest in our garden this year and the Bear and I are trying our best to grow our very own vegetables. We are really enjoying both getting outside and getting our hands dirty. So when Mud and Bloom announced they were on the lookout of people to try out their monthly gardening and nature craft box, we were very keen to get involved.
I have a very traditional little boy. One whole loves cars, trains, tractors and dinosaurs. While the latter may the be the exception, on a whole if it has an engine, then Henry is most likely to fall in love with it. So, when Hape got involved and invited him to try out some of their plane and car themed toys, I knew he would be desperate to get is chubby (and rather grubby) little hands on them.
If you are a regular reader, then you may remember that we took a trip to Bluestone Wales in November last year to check out their festive offer. Everyone had a great time, so when the opportunity came up to go again as part of their #BluestoneBlogger programme and we jumped at the chance and couldn’t wait to check it out in the sunshine this time.
We weren’t disappointed. So, here is our very own pocket guide to Bluestone Wales.
Pre-kids I used to love to run and used to do it regularly. Running, swimming, Zumba, circuits and weight training. You name it and I loved to do it. Then two little humans came along taking up most of my time and my energy, leaving not much left for sport. However, with Henry turning 2 next month and Darcie starting pre-school in September, life is starting to get a little quieter. Therefore, it’s time to reclaim my body.
It’s taken quite a hit since first becoming pregnant in 2014. Two babies in two years, a lack of exercise and a diet of convenience – this is going to be a long journey. One I’m willing to step up to though and I’m excited to get going. However, as I stand in front of my wardrobe looking at the sportswear I wore back pre-kids, I faced my first hurdle!
However, luck was on my side as Lapasa got in contact for me to try out some of their sportswear. I knew I needed to start with the basics so I chose their Women’s Sports Bra. I’m currently not in a fit enough state to go straight into high impact exercise so their medium impact support is more than enough for me right now. Add in the fact that it’s wire free and I thought this would be the perfect foundation layer to start my journey back to fitness with.
