This month has seen me rather ill with a cold and cough
leading to taking antibiotics for a week! I'm still on the mend and sneezing
leaves my ribs in excruciating pain. Still let’s not dwell any longer on this
negative and instead take a look back on March and celebrate the highlights for
there have been some.
This month we have been surrounding ourselves in things that
we enjoy to cheer us up. From beautiful books to upcycling and getting outside
in the spring sunshine it’s been a good one.
Books with Boolino
We have worked with Boolino this month and were impressed
with their lovely book My First Encyclopedia of How? I've stored the book away for
now for when the little ones are older and they start questioning the world
around them verbally.
Upcycling
I've been making a few things this month from the wall art
for my children’s bedroom with just a puzzle and a picture frame, a windsock
made from a cardboard tube and tissue paper and most recently a clay mouse. I
have fond memories of making things with clay when I was little that I was
excited to introduce my daughter to clay mouse making.
Thrifty Living
Due to being ill we've not been on many adventures. We did
pop over to Henley where I picked up this gorgeous set of table and chairs and
some Julia Donaldson books.
Camp Wilderness
Then last weekend we popped over to Hertfordshire where we took part in a day filled with bushcraft activities. It was such a great day in the Spring sunshine and I met some lovely bloggers.
In The Garden
We've been getting out into the garden a lot more now the
days are longer and the weather warmer. Hubby has plans for planting carrots alongside
other vegetables and we've got rid of the fence panels we no longer need. We
are all for making the garden safe for our little ones to play in.
What did you get up to in March?
It's great to surround yourself with things that cheer you up especially when you've been unwell. I am glad you are on the mend. It looks like you have had a lovely month with some fab moments x
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Thank you for your support. I can't believe it took a full month to get well again! There certainly were some lovely occasions despite being ill.
DeleteSounds like you've had a good March except for being ill - that's never fun. Bushcraft sounds a great day out for the family. Thx for sharing #bloggerclubuk
ReplyDeleteMarch was great but being ill was horrid. Bushcraft is excellent and has made me keen to learn more.
DeleteLooks like you had a great March. Ours has been good too with a weekend away hubby and I then a family trip to stay with my parents in the south west. Now the spring is officially here, things will definitely be busier! #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteGreat to read that you've also experienced a great month.
DeleteWhat a lovely list of things you have been up to. I hope you are well on the mend to be as right as rain. Very impressed with the wall art! #BloggerClubUK
ReplyDeleteThank you for your well wishes. I can't believe I was ill for the month!
DeleteI am glad you are starting to feel better. I had a horrid cough that I am just getting over. The pictures for the walls look great.

Thank you Ali. Being sick is awful.
DeleteVery impressed with your bargain chairs. We used to have a set - think they were IKEA and they weren't all that cheap. Hope you feel better soon. #bloggerclubUK
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to find them and I agree brand new they can cost so much.
DeleteThat table and chair set is lovely. Glad you've had mostly a good month and I hope you're feeling better now!

DeleteThe Bushcraft camp sounds amazing - I've heard so much about it from so many bloggers, I'd love to do something like that when my son is a bit older! We've loved getting outside in the garden again too - I'm looking forward to spending lots of time out there this summer. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove

ReplyDeleteThey sure do. I think everyone is in a better mood when the sun is out.
DeleteI have been ill with a cough and cold too, it seemed to last forever. That table and chair set is wonderful #LikedandLoved x
ReplyDeleteOh no not you too! Feeling like it lasted forever drags you down too right?! Thank you for the compliment.
DeleteOh it is so nice to be able to get out and about in the sunshine. I love the table and chairs, we have a similar one and it gets used lots. #likedandloved #sharingthebloglove
