This week has seen me feeling rather frazzled to be honest. Rather than dwelling on the negatives though I thought I’d focus on the #LittleLoves too. I've been bookmarking a number of these posts in the past and
therefore thought I ought to join in too. So without further ado here they are:
If you are a regular to my blog you will no doubt have heard I've been making things. I thought I'd take the opportunity to show you a sneaky peek of what one of those things is.
As of April the eldest potentially could start preschool. This is great in terms of socialising but scary too if you have been listening to the news and heard about meningitis!
I've been doing a spot of shopping recently and picked up The Mindfulness Journal which is full of exercises to help me focus on the present.
I've been watching Rosalillium who was brought to my attention via Mummy in a Tutu. Her video on 10 things missing from your about page was the first one I watched and I've set about implementing the things she's mentioned on my blog.
Despite witnessing tantrums everyday this week from the eldest! I still love hearing her call out 'mummy' in the morning. She sure knows how to melt my heart. She's turning two on Sunday and has left me wondering whether the next few years will be terrific or terrible!
As you can see from this photo and the one above we have been making the most of the weather, wrapping up warm and heading outside on geocaching adventures.

Sounds like an interesting book. Hope you enjoy it. Intrigued by your making. Lovely photo of your eldest holding her find. I wouldn't worry about the terrible twos. They are all different. I'm sure the term was invented to sell parenting books.#wotw
ReplyDeleteIt is. Thank you. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while. Thank you for the compliment. That could be true.

ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I'm just scratching the surface
DeleteFocusing on the now is a great life strategy, Yoga is actually great for that and focuses, the past can be lovely but is no use in the present time. Fab vlog its great to other perspective on what we need on our blog x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about that I think you can learn stuff from the past. Things that you'd like to repeat and other things you ought not to. Does everyone do it differently?
DeleteThe Mindfulness Journal sounds right up my street! x #LittleLoves
ReplyDeleteIt's got lots of great exercises in it
DeleteOh I'm here from #KCACOLS too!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you again
DeleteGreat journal to have I keep meaning to get one for myself. Lovely walk photos. Love hearing the kiddos shout out my name it's some heart warming. Good luck with preschool. #littleloves
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny
DeleteWe've never been Geocaching but I think my girls would really enjoy it. Definitely something to try this year. Thanks for linking up with Little Loves! xx
ReplyDeleteI think it's one that all ages would love. I'm sure there are lots where you are.
DeleteLooks like a busy week! I know what you mean when they call out for you. Melts you :) #ThatFridayLinky
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteWhat a busy week. Hope your eldest had a lovely birthday. It's lovely to hear them calling Mummy - makes up for the trying moments! #WotW
ReplyDeleteShe certainly did. It sure does.
DeleteHope you're feeling less frazzled, getting out and about I find always helps. And eek! April seems quite soon (sorry - am sure you are already aware of that!) Thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo x
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestion. Yes these months do scarily fly by.
DeleteI love geocaching. There are a couple that have eluded us for years. #kcacols
ReplyDeleteAh we have had some like that. One at a train station springs to mind.
DeleteHope you have had a less frazzling?! (not sure if that is a word) week. My little boy started preschool two weeks ago, he is loving it. I still get nervous lol! I really like this idea for a post and I will also be checking out Rosalillum! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteThat's great to read. I think our nerves get shaken up by little ones.
DeleteIt sounds like you've been busy. It's scary when your little one starts school, I'm sure you'll both do fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to #pocolo
