  • How nice was the weather today? So warm and sunny, it really feels like spring is on the way. We had such a lovely day with my sister and her children @clivedenNT we've not been before, but my sister and I worked out it was exactly half way between us and a great meeting point. I think there is something very special about the bond between cousins, there was much den building to be had and magical duels with sticks, *ahem* wands. Aria cried when it was time to go home as she didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be back!⁣ #Ukparentbloggers #littlefierceones #lifeupclose #nationaltrust #daysoutwithkids #mumswithcameras #outdoorsandhappy #takeyourkidsoutside #wheremywelliestakeme #rememberthesedays #documentyourlife #rememberingthesedays #magicofchildhood ⁣
  • Now this might looks like an very old and tatty mixer to you, but I am quite attached to this little mixer. It used to belong to my husband's great-aunt who used to make the best fruit cakes. She also adored children. Sadly she never got to me any of ours, but we did inherit her mixer. Whenever I bake with the children I try to use it with them and it always makes me smile, as I know how much she would love to know they were using it. ⁣ #bakingwithkids #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose ⁣ #kidsinthekitchen #kitchenhelper #enjoythelittlethings #cookingwithkids #mumswithcameras #documentyourday #rememberthesedays #littlefierceones #halfterm #halftermfun #mumlife
  • Today's #halfterm adventures took us to the library. Where Logan could not believe he was allowed to take home 20 WHOLE BOOKS! (We've been before, but Aria didn't have her own card then, so she always took her books out on his card). And trust me, we were not leaving until he had chosen 20 of them (you can see his pile of books there to the right of him). They were also running a treasure hunt competition where we had to search around the library looking clues to work out a secret word. Which we took part in. It reminded me that while I always take them in the holidays, I should try and take the children to the library after school more too. #booklovers #bookworm #KLTR #library #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #halftermfun #documentyourdays #rememberthesedays #ukparentbloggers #mumlife #themagicineveryday
  • How's everyone's #halfterm going? We started on Friday with a trip to the Winchester Science Centre (which is where this photo is from Aria standing on the podium!), then had quite a quiet weekend. Today we were meant to be going to the library as Logan's reading appetite is insatiable. But he woke up not feeling well and refused any food for breakfast (most unlike him), and Bo has been very unsettled (I suspect teeth), so I decided it would be best to stay home today. Instead we have made junk models, played some games and watched a bit of TV. Hopefully everyone will be feeling better tomorrow and we can venture out of the house. #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #mumlife #myfamily #littlefierceones #mumsiwthcameras #candidchildhood #rememberthesedays #mumlife #doucmentyourlife #themagicineveryday #noordinarykids
  • #Ad if your cat tends to snuggle up indoors during the winter like Scout does, their litter tray is probably being heavily used too. No one likes a stinky litter tray. Which is why we’re really excited to hear about @BobMartinPets collaboration with Febreeze! A nice smelling, odour neutralising cat litter. Perfect for cats that like to be clean & owners that like their house to smell nice #win #BobMartinPets #Felight #FelightWithFebreze #ad
  • CHILDREN'S BOOK SWAP Do you fancy taking part in my children's book swap? Where you send out a book to a child and receive one in return for your child? It doesn't have to be a new book, it can be one you have already but no longer need, as long as it's in good condition. You can sign up for multiple children, as long as you agree to send out the same amount of books that you receive. All details are on my website (link in profile. I'd love it if you would join in with me. #childrensbookswap #books #childrensbooks #bookworm #internationalbookgivingday #bringbackpaper #children #booklovers #ukparentbloggers #bloggers #pbloggersuk #pbloggers #lifeupclose #littlefierceones

  • I know it was Valentine's day yesterday, but I couldn't resist sharing this! His face in it cracks me up! Taken at our @ascotandwindsorbaby which Bo loves going to every week. We've had an inset day today, so half term has started early. Actually the day started early at about 4.30am with Aria having an accident in her bed, but we ended up having fun today and I'm long forward to some lazy mornings and days out over the next week. I do love it when the children are off or is it just me? #valentinesday2019 #lifeupclose #8monthsoldbaby #baby #halftermfun #documentyourdays #littlefierceones #ukparentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #family #babysensory #rememberingthesedays #mumlife #parenting
  • Happy Valentine's Day! Are you doing anything to celebrate? My husband and I agreed to do nothing as we're saving for work we want to do in our house, but he cheated and got me a card! And I got him nothing... Oh well, we are planning on having a Chinese too for dinner, so I guess we are celebrating a little. Also I have launched a children's book swap on my blog where you agree to send a book to swap books with another child as it's also #internationalbookgivingday I would love it if you joined in! #valentinesday #bookgivingday #bookworm #childrensbooks #ukparentbloggers #bringbackpaper #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #kidsbooks #bookstagram #books #reading #kidsbookstagram
  • {Ad - gifted} We’ve been trying out some of the new toys from the new movie #howtotrainyourdragonthehiddenworld - you can see some more demos on today’s stories. I think Logan’s favourite was the fire breathing Toothless - who wouldn’t love their own toy fire breathing dragon?! He also has a removable weapon. In addition, we have a Deluxe Dragon toothless who growls, lights up & his wings pop out. As well as a dragon and Viking set that has a weapon that shoots out of the dragon’s mouth. (swipe to see them!) All toys are available to buy at The Entertainer, Smyths Toy Stores, Amazon & Argos. @spinmaster @universalpicturesuk #dragontoys #howtotrainyourdragontoys #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #littlefierceones #mumlife #toys #instakids #pbloggersuk #pbloggers #parenting
