Me and Mine – February 2018

28/02/201830/05/2018
Hubby, Sophie, Jessica and me out for a meal to celebrate Grandma's birthday

This month feels like it has been all about returning to normality again. It has been wonderful to see how well Jessica has recovered from her surgery. Her sats so far have been fairly similar to her pre-op levels but I think her colour is better and she seems to have more energy now. She… Read More

A fun stay at the Legoland Hotel for Junior Builders Week

27/02/201827/02/2018

We’ve driven past the Legoland Hotel many times on our trips to Legoland. Having a night’s stay there has always been quite a tempting idea. A stay in the hotel is quite expensive though. Admittedly it includes theme park entry, but we only live half an hour away so really couldn’t justify the cost of… Read More

From the mouths of babes #145 – Jokes and hand-me-downs

26/02/201825/02/2018
Jessica as a toddler with a speech bubble saying "From the mouths of babes" and the text "A linky for sharing the things kids say"

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!   Thank you to everyone who linked up… Read More

#365daysofgratitude 2018 – Week 8

25/02/201825/02/2018
A sunset in Malta with the text "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. Even on the difficult days, I have managed to find… Read More

Friday Focus 23/02/18 – Not quite what I was expecting

23/02/201823/02/2018
Unexpected - this week's word of the week

It’s been one of those weeks where things haven’t quite gone as expected. We had a bit of unexpected drama when out shopping at the weekend when two guys on motorbikes suddenly came speeding through the pedestrian zone followed by armed police. Sophie had been chasing the pigeons a couple of minutes earlier. I’m so… Read More

Spotting signs of spring on a nature walk

Jessica spotting buds appearing on the trees

Our outdoor adventures have been few and far between so far this year. As Jessica has gradually recovered from her heart surgery, we’ve been starting to get out and about a little more. At first, she needed the buggy even for short trips out. It’s been lovely to see her energy levels return and to… Read More

Welcome back to all my previous linkers and a big hello if you’re joining in with #ftmob for the first time. It’s been a little while since my last #ftmob linky due to Jessica having heart surgery at the end of last year. It’s good to be back again and I’m looking forward to reading… Read More
