This week has seen me start to read #GIRLBOSS having noticed
that a couple of fellow bloggers recommended it. I've only got as far as
chapter three so far but I have been reading it and enjoying it. I have been
trying to read a chapter a night before bed but some days has seen me so
exhausted that I almost collapse with exhaustion.
As you can see that’s not the only book on my bedside table
I love Usborne’s Entertaining and
Educating Babies and Toddlers too for ideas and it has a helpful section on
each age range at the back. Fearne Cotton’s Happy
also looked like a great recommendation so I picked it up while at the
local supermarket and the National Trust’s book 50 Things to do Before you’re 11
¾ sounds a great challenge.
As always the girls are keeping me occupied and it’s lovely
to see them having some peaceful naps during the day. I leave the bedroom door
open to the girls’ bedroom while youngest sleeps and peer over the staircase so
as not to wake her being greeted with this view.
Ok so I've yet to technically listen to Aby’s live chats as
my laptop is not up to listening to them! However, I've been following her course
and done a fair bit of the things she has mentioned.
We've been continuing to have fun in the garden this week
and I hung up a few of my scarves for the girls to play with. I love this
action shot of eldest running through them. It’s not easy photoing little ones
but among several takes there’s usually one or more that sum up the fun.
I've been trying desperately to keep the hats on the babies
heads while out and about in the countryside but alas they have other ideas.
Over the weekend there was warm sunshine and a cool breeze leading to a little
confusion as to what was best to wear.
Thank you to all my readers for continuing to read my blog and
say lovely encouraging comments about it. Happy Easter everyone, may this time
be full to the brim with lovely goodies whether they be experiences or your
favourite products. Go indulge yourselves. x
I love the idea of hanging up scarves for the children to run through #LittleLoves
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was fun
DeleteI must try the trick with the scarves, my two will love that. I love watching little ones sleep, as long as you don't wake them ;0) #WotW
ReplyDeleteIt's simple yet lots of fun.
DeleteSounds like you've had a lovely week. I have seen recommendations about Girl Boss, let me know what you think of it. However, like you I'm often so tired at night it takes me ages to read any new book!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Easter, and you and your family spend some lovely time together
xx

I liked reading Girl Boss but wonder whether we've each got our own version of success and there's not just one way.
DeleteI remember hanging up scarves and silks for the children to run through. If yours are anything like mine, they are in giggles as they do it. Have a lovely week. #wotw
ReplyDeleteBack again. Love seeing book recommendations. I'll have to check out a couple of these. #PoCoLo
DeleteThank you Cheryl
DeleteI have 2 new books that I want to read and I wish I can find time to read them! This is a lovely post! #pocolo
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I have to schedule time in and am finding time just before I go to sleep sometimes works.
DeleteHanging up scarves is a fun idea, so simple to do. We went to a festival last year where they had an area full of sheets to play and run through and the kids loved it! Sounds like a lovely week and productive for you, too. Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Sometimes keeping it simple really does lead to a lot of fun.
DeleteRunning through scarves sounds like lots of fun and that is a great shot of your eldest. I love seeing sleeping babies too - I do miss those moments of peeking in the room and seeing a sleepy little one in their cot. Happy Easter and hope you are having a lovely Easter weekend :-) #WotW
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had to take a lot of photos and thankfully one worked out. My hubby tends to shut the door when he's off work but I like to leave it open.
DeleteI really enjoyed GirlBoss when I read it a while ago, it's such an easy read and I found her really inspiring. Netflix have based a series around her story which is being released very soon xx
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is thought provoking and interesting what she's been through. Thank you for telling me about the Netflix series. We don't subscribe to it here though.
DeleteHope you had a lovely Easter - that picture of your one sleeping, so cute, she looks so peaceful. I can imagine it's a very relaxing way to spend time. Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
ReplyDeletePeaceful and my youngest yes when she's sleeping hehe. I find the eldest is the calmest while youngest wants to remind you of the fact she's there bless her.
DeleteI remember the battle with hats and little ones, it was so frustrating sometimes! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to #pocolo
I wonder if there's a way round this such as bandanas.
