  • Those of you with little ones in reception, how are they getting on? I am finding things are coming out at dinner and bed time with Aria. But was quite sad to find out she accidentally got left behind in the hall at lunch and stood there crying for me 😢 (i’ll be chatting to her teacher but it’s hard letting them go isn’t it?💔), but other than that she’s been settling in well. What has helped is these lovely personalised Little Miss & Mr Men collection from @mynametags with stationery and name stickers personalised with her name 😍. They have recently added Little Miss Inventor to their collection which is a great role model for young girls. The stickers are washing and dishwasher proof too 👍 😞#gifted #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #ukpbad #parentingbloggers #backtoschool #lifeupclose #pbloggersuk #pbloggers
  • *AD* Self care as a new Mum, let's be honest it's pretty impossible. Today is the first time I have put lipstick on over 3 months and that was only to look nice in this photo! I've been grateful of the warm weather as it has meant my hair can dry naturally and some days self care is just being able to drink a cup of tea before it goes cold. After having three babies (the biggest one a whopping 11lbs!) I also have more stretchmarks than I care to share, so I'm currently trying out the new and improved @PalmersUK stretchmark collection with @officialemmasdiary. Which is something I can put on my tummy quickly after my shower to firm it up an reduce the appearance of the red lines, it also smells totally amazing too! #PalmersSquad #thenatureofyou #palmers #pbukad #lifeupclose #pbloggers #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #pbloggersuk #metime #parentingblogger
  • First school milestone for Aria - she got to bring the school teddy home this weekend. I had to confess we have done nothing exciting with it as we’ve had quite a quiet weekend. Photos have included cuddling in bed, eating a sandwich & watching a film. I didn’t think they had it when Logan was in reception, but he informed me today they did, he was just never good enough to get it 🙈🙈🙈 #pbloggers #lifeupclose #ukparentblogger #pbloggersuk #reception #ukparentbloggers #littlefierceones #parentingbloggers
  • How’s everyone’s first full week back to school gone? Aria is shattered and full of cold today, but very pleased to have been given the class teddy this weekend! To start off the new term, we’ve been trying out a new breakfast cereal from @jordansgrinola called Grin-ola. Logan has fallen in love with it (Aria unfortunately not so much! 🙈). But Logan has had it every morning since it arrived. The thing I like about it as a Mum though is that it’s less than 4g of sugar 👍 which is a win for me as there’s often a lot of sugar in children’s cereal. #gifted #backtoschool #ukparentbloggers #ukparentblogger #parentingblogger #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #jordansgrinola #lifeupclose
  • I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since my husband had his hernia operation. It’s all been a bit chaotic really with a 3 month baby in the mix, the end of the summer holidays & back to school. A nice thing about it is that he finally got his @chapmanguitars we ordered for his birthday - he’s had to patiently wait for it to come in which has given him something to play while he recovers! You can see from his face how pleased he is with it. He’s still sore but back to work (from home) tomorrow, so back to a bit more normality I guess - roll on half term! #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #lifeupclose #lifelately #chapmanguitars #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #herniasurgery #backtoschool #family
  • Do you ever wonder how your parents coped before the world of the internet? I think I spend my life googling is my child sick, how does x work or how to get my baby to sleep. Another way I’ve found it invaluable is researching places to take them out. The @familiesuk website is fab for this, I’m currently researching where to book to take my children for a Fireworks display and I can easily do a search on my local area and see what’s on. So easy! #Ad #FamilyFunUk #pbukad #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #daysoutwithkids

  • Back in January we bought Logan a guitar. My husband and I felt sad they don’t offer music lessons in schools anymore - how I loved my recorder! And decided to invest, after discussion Logan decided he would like to learn a guitar. To date, he has just had lessons with his Dad, but tomorrow night he starts @trpberkshire which is an after school rock club & lessons for children. He’s nervous and excited about starting. I hope he has a blast! #lifeupclose #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #trpberkshire #children #learningtoplayguitar #guitar #childhood #littlefierceones #pbloggersuk #pbloggers
  • One of the things on my children’s bucket list was to play with pavement chalks, so on the last day I introduced them to a playground classic - hopscotch! As you can see 30 years on from my childhood & it’s still a winner. I think I may have to introduce them to some others #childhoodmemories #childhood #outdoorplay #hopscotch #lifeupclose #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #summer
  • A certain little man has very much been enjoying the school runs on our @quinnyworld Zapp. I’ve never had such a nosey baby he doesn’t like to miss out on anything. I think we’re going to have to move him out of the carrycot soon, firstly he’s growing so quickly (he’s so tall for his age), but also I think he would really enjoy being sat up a bit more being able to take the world in. I’m enjoying the walking but the alarm clock combined with night feeds are a killer, I’m so tired! I also have found the house very quiet without my little Aria helper and sidekick #13weeksold #baby #mumlife #3monthsold #3monthsoldbaby #lifeupclose #ukparentblogger #ukparentbloggers #backtoschool #quinnyzapp
