It’s been another week of flying solo for me – hubby’s away working on an event this week and next week so just me and the girls for a couple of weeks. This week has been a little more challenging as Sophie was poorly earlier in the week. I’m not entirely sure what was wrong but she was just very subdued and spent most of the time dozing on the sofa. Thankfully she is back to her usual happy self now though.
Things I have loved this week:
- Having a night of managing to sleep in my own bed without being joined by either of the girls – I cannot remember the last time that happened and it hasn’t been repeated since!
- Having my close friend come and visit and seeing how much the girls enjoyed spending time with godmummy Katy.
- Attending the Enchanted Museum event at Chiltern Open Air Museum which was utterly magical – we even got to see a unicorn!
- Snuggling with my girls on the sofa and watching Toy Story when Sophie was poorly.
- The way Sophie likes to give me kisses through the bars of her cot when going to sleep.
- Watching Jessica have fun helping Daddy mow Grandma and Grandad’s lawn on the big ride-on mower.
- Sophie hugging me repeatedly and telling me she wants “all the cuddles!”
- Having lots of space in the bed even with two little people joining me (sorry hubby, I do miss you really!)
A unicorn! Wow! That looks a lot of fun. Glad that Sophie is well again now, hope next week on solo parenting goes well x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Thanks Jocelyn – we loved seeing the unicorn! 🙂
Ahh! I’m glad Sophie is feeling better…
It sounds like a lovely week! That Unicorn is fab! Love it x
Thank you Kim – the unicorn was amazing 🙂
I imagine the girls were in their element with the magical unicorn. #WotW
They loved it Helena although I think I was possibly more excited by it than they were! 🙂
I think I’d be the same 🙂 #HappyDaysLinky
Love that photo of the Unicorn! I bet that was a magical moment for the children!
I’m glad Sophie is feeling better, it’s not much fun being poorly in the summer months.
It sounds like you’re doing a fab job of flying solo, and the girls are enjoying being with Mummy too. Hope next week goes just as well xx

Thanks Tracey – the unicorn was amazing although I think the girls are a little young to really appreciate just how magical it was! Flying solo is (mostly) going well – thankfully I’m fairly used to it these days which helps! x
Enjoy the bed while it lasts! You’ll have plenty of time to share.
Definitely making the most of having a little more space and those night-time snuggles with the girls are lovely 🙂
I find weeks where my husband’s away really tough – sorry to hear Sophie was ill on top of that, but pleased to hear she’s all back to normal now. After our night last night I can appreciate how nice it must be to have more room in the bed though! I have to admit, I’m not a fan of sharing the bed – everyone sleeps except me! And one night all to yourself – bliss!!!
This week’s certainly been a challenging one – looking forward to him being back again even if it will mean less space in the bed!
Ah Sophie is so cute. Pleased to hear she is feeling better. Oh Alice would love to ride on a big mower. X
Thank you Laura – the big mower ride looked like it was a lot of fun! 🙂
Aaaw Sophie, I’m glad she is well now. I am so jealous about the unicorn- that’s so cute and magical indeed.
Thanks Melody – the unicorn was amazing! 🙂
Haha I emember seeing that unicorn in ig and yes its so magical! Sounds like a lovely week even though you are solo =) #wotw
The unicorn was amazing – such a magical moment 🙂
Hi Louise, my husband would be so jealous of that lawn mower! His tiny bit of lawn is his pride and joy! I’m glad to hear that Sophie is well again, but one of the plus sides to having a poorly child is having an excuse to snuggle on the sofa and watch a film (of was that just me?).
Your girls look as cute as ever in their outfits and I hope next week is an easier one for you.
xx
Thank you Debbie – Sophie is back to her normal happy self now but those snuggles on the sofa were lovely even though it wasn’t nice to see her poorly.
I want to see a unicorn!!!!! How magical for the girls! Thank you for joining in our #HappyDaysLinky x
It was amazing – we loved it! Lovely to link up – thank you for hosting 🙂
I have always wanted to use a ride on lawn mower! Both of my boys join me in my bed every night without fail so I know how you feel. Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x
Me too – I’ve never had a go on it yet! Maybe I should ask hubby next time…! 🙂
