  • I've had feedback that people enjoy my outfit posts. So it is something I have set myself the goal of doing more this year, as I do really love my clothes. I always feel vulnerable whenever I do, as I am no size 10, in fact I am size 18. But here goes, today's outfit is a sale bargain from @joules for £24.95. It has pockets! (always a winner). It doesn't appear to be in stock anymore, but there are dresses in this shape. It's really comfort and I am wearing it here with a pair of leggings. ------------ #size18 #mystyle #whatimwearing #plussize #outfit #dress #curvyfashion #honormycurves #plussizefashion #size18style #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #joules
  • How's everyone's weekend been? We've been happy to have my husband back who has been in India with work for the past two weeks. The children have been vying for his attention. Except Bo who has taken a little bit of time to warm up to him and has very much wanted Mummy. Can't believe it's Monday tomorrow already, it always goes so fast doesn't it? ------------ #UKparentbloggers #lifeupclose #documentyourlife #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #parentsinthepicture #rememberingthesedays #heartfluttermoments #myhappycapture #documentyoursdays
  • Bodhi does love a bath, we got this baby bath from @summerinfant to review in the summer, but Bodhi was too small to really appreciate the spray at the time, but now he's absolutely fascinated by it 😍. In other news only one more sleep until my husband is back home from India after being away for two weeks 🙌, it feels like a very long time! No one do anything stupid with a done please! 🙏 #3monthsold #3monthsoldbaby #summerinfant #babybath #ukparentbloggers #ukparentblogger #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #childhoodunplugged #instababy #magicofchildhood #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #mybabues #mylittlelife
  • #Teething. With all of the modern advancements in science you really would have thought they would have come up with something better for teething - and the common cold but that's another story. Never mind, I've had lots of cuddles today and I think tooth number two has very nearly fully arrived. Over the years I've found that not much really helps other than things to chew on, occasionally a bit of Amesol of it's really bad some Calpol. What works for you? ------------ #mumlife #motherhood #teethingbaby #7monthsold #7monthsoldbaby #dailyparenting #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #mumandbay #gorgeousbaby #family #instamom #instamums #unitedinmotherhood
  • It was all about the sparkles for Aria this weekend as she had lots of friend's birthday parties to go to. For me, it was the middle weekend when my husband is away, which is often when I find it the hardest, as the weekend is usually when you get a break isn't it? But, the parties did mean we got out and about and saw people, as in the past there have been times when he's been away and I have craved adult company and most people want to spend the weekends with their families, understandably. Last night was a little fraught as we got back from one of the parties quite late which was tough on a school night. But today is a new day and this morning I had tea and cake with a couple of friends which made me feel human again! ------------ #Mumlife #family #ukparentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #documentyourdays #dailyparenting #storytellingmama #lifeupclose #rememberingthesedays #beautyinmotherhood #mydaughter #4yearsold #passonsomepositive #mummyshot #pbloggers #pbloggersuk
  • Anyone else wishing for a bit of sunshine about now? My husband is working in India at the moment and I am feeling a little jealous of the sunshine over there. I love this photo of Logan, a throwback to our holiday two summers ago. Which also ties in what I am talking about on the blog today in conjunction with @simplyswimuk I am talking about why I think it so important for children to learn how to swim. Because during this fantastic holiday, Aria also managed to accidentally fall into the pool, my husband was there and was in there like a flash, but it really brought home to use just how easy accidents can happen. {AD} ------------ #swimming #learningtoswim #lifeupclose #documentyourlife #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #sunshine #rememberingtthesedays #pbloggersuk #parentingblog #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #simplyswim

  • What is one of your favourite things to do to relax? Mine is and has always been reading. Even when I'm shattered I try and make time at bed time to read a few pages. Last night I had very little sleep as Bodhi is cutting his second teeth, but even when I get him down tonight, even if I only manage a few pages, I will still make that time, because it's my time and something I do to de-stress too. What are you reading at the moment? I'm reading the final post in the Discovery of Witches series, which is pretty hard going at times (too much detail), but also really want to see what happens next. ------------ #mumlife #books #metime #whatimreading #bookworm #lifeupclose #ukparentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #pbloggersuk #documentyourlife #myhappycapture #oureverydaymoments
  • My awesome little man turned 7 months last Friday. Look at that smile 😍. He is now on 3 meals per day, rolling, chattering - he's said 'Ma' a few times! Loves to stand (with me supporting him), is super cuddly and loves music and sparkly lights. ------------ #7monthsold #7montholdbaby #watchthemgrow #lifeupclose #littlefierceones #mytinymoments #mybabies #mylittlelife #mumlife #mymommydiaries #ukparentsbloggers #ukparentblogger #family #pbloggersuk #rememberingthesedays #oureverydaymoments
  • Has anyone managed to get any great sale buys? As you know I have a bit of a thing for handbags, I lusted after this one from @radleylondon before Christmas, so was rather to get it in the 50% sale. I also managed to get a couple of clothing pieces in the sale too I will share with you when I am next wearing them! Also loving my new backdrop I got from @capturebylucy for Christmas ------------ #radley #radleylondon #handbags #handbagaddict #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #mumlife #salebargains #mystyle #bag #accessories #fashion #pblogger #pbloggersuk
