Growing Grey Gracefully?

Growing Grey Gracefully? Do you think about going grey? I think amongst most of the women I talk to, it’s an issue that crosses a lot of our minds. In a world obsessed with good looks, youth and beauty, going grey is seen as the sign that you are maybe getting a little less attractive…

  • S'mores at Camp Smokey! S'mores were one of the things on our bucket list for last year's summer holidays we didn't manage to do, so it was great we managed to do it this Easter holidays. I think Aria's face pretty much says it all! Back to reality with a bump tomorrow (today is an inset day), with the children back to school and my husband heading off to the US with work for 9 days. I really don't want it to be all over to be honest. But all good things must come to an end. Have you had a great Easter? #easterholidays #bankholidayweekend #family #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #bluestonewales #smores #mumlife #dailyparenting #littlefierceones #rememberthesedays #standstillmychild #mumswithcameras #parenting #themagicofchildhood #documentyourlife #myfamilyadventures
  • Have you started to go grey? Or even think about what you will do when it happens? Will you dye your hair or go grey naturally? I have been musing about this on the blog today after some conversations I have had with friends and family this past couple of weeks and finding my first grey hairs when I was pregnant last year. It frustrates me that it's ok for men to go grey, viewed as distinguished even. But for women it's seen as unattractive and undesirable. We live in a crazy world where people will spend hundreds of pounds to get their hair dyed grey, but it’s just not ok to be that colour naturally. Where men are sexy, but women are old. This is another example of the topsy turvy sexist world we live in, where women must strive to be something they’re not in order to achieve success. You can look amazing for your age, but heaven forbid you actually look it. So as I embrace myself for who I am, I think that I will eventually let the silver show through, because quite frankly it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

  • Happy Easter! We’re so enjoying our weekend away, we don’t want to come home! It’s so warm and sunny the children have been swimming twice everyday, we had a roast dinner at the Farmhouse Grill today, an Easter egg hunt in the garden, played card games & read books while Bo kept attempting to escape the garden 😂. It’s been so nice! If only all bank holidays were this glorious! ☀️@bluestonewales
  • And relax.... we’ve arrived in Wales, so far the weather has been glorious! So glorious Bo needed a sun hat (made by my lovely Mum). We’ve been to the park & for a swim & now waiting while my husband fetches fish & chips for us all. We’ve been so looking forward to our little mini break and @bluestonewales has become one of my children’s absolute favourite places 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ☀️ #easter #bankholidayweekend #bluestonewales #ukparentbloggers #family #10monthsold #baby #instababy #instamum #mumswithcameras #lifeupclose #rememberthesedays #dailyparenting #littlefierceones #pbloggers #pbloggersuk
  • {AD} I'm really loving the new photowall in my hall I created with @my_picture_co_uk it's something I have wanted to do for ages and have finally got around to doing. The hardest part was deciding which pictures to use! I have created it using forex canvas which are really lightweight, premium photoboard that also print really sharp photos. They're so light I could just hang them using one command strip per picture. If you want to create your very own photowall, you can get and additional 15 % off all, already discounted CANVAS prints as seen on www.My-Picture.co.uk website with discount code LAURASUMMERS - Enjoy!
  • How's everyone's Easter holidays going? Anyone else so looking forward to some family time at the big long 4-day weekend we have ahead of us? So far this week we've been to the forest with friends, baked a simnel cake, been to the shops to get the children's feet measured - which also cost me far too much money 😱- today the children have also made Easter paperchains and created their very own cafe (with menus) at home while I tried to get some work done. We're off to @bluestonewales (paid for not a blog review) this weekend and the weather forescast looks absolutely glorious too so I really can't wait! Are you up to anything? #Family #ukparentbloggers #easterholidays #instakids #instamum #mumswithcameras #documentyourdays #lifeupclose #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #rememberingthesedays #mumlife #littlefierceones #everydaymoments #siblings #dailyparenting

  • It's week two of the Easter holidays and today we headed off into the woods to meet up with some friends. Where we did den building, had a picnic and an all important Easter egg hunt! We had so much fun, Logan didn't want to leave and cried because he wanted to move into the den he had built permanently. We solved the problem by doing den building in the dining room with blankets and cushions when we got home. ⁣⠀ #Ukparentbloggers #mumlife #documentyourdays #easter #easteregghunt #littlefierceones #letthembewild #themagicofchildhood #wheremywelliestakeme #myfamilyadventures #outdoorsandfree #lifeupclose #instakids #documentyourday #easterholidays #mamaswithcameras #rememberingthesedays ⁣⠀
  • {AD - gifted tickets} How has everyone’s weekends been? Today I have been to the @babyandtoddlershows at Sandown Park 👶 with my mum. Bodhi came along too and got a couple of new treats. It was lovely to spend some time with my mum and also learn about some new brands. If you’re a first time expectant mum this event really would be great for you, so many big brands all in one place and some great deals to be had too. As a third time mum I have most of the things already, although I was nearly seduced by the @cosatto dinosaur pram 🦖 (so cool) and got Bodhi a great little clip-on silicone teether from @lilithloveshenry (you can see more in my stories today). I’ve had a lovely weekend and even escaped to the shops all on my own yesterday 🙌 got some accessory bits for my desk 🖊 & Logan was desperate for the new Wimpy Kids book so I got him that too. 📚what have you been up to?
  • {AD} Bracknell and @thelexiconbracknell have had lots of exciting developments lately and the arrival of @shopmatalan is one of them. I was taken aback at how huge the store was (over 22,000 square feet), it has baby, children's, men's, women's and home departments. All at amazing prices, I picked up the green blouse featured for just £12.50. I've written about it all on the blog today >> swipe to see some of my purchases in-store too. ⁣⠀ #Ukparentbloggers #bracknell #welovebracknell #thelexicon #matalanmoments #lifeupclose #mumlife #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #mystyle #documentsyourdays #documentyourlife #weblogmamas #instamum #blogging #blogger ⁣⠀
