Connecting with Nature, Carboot Sales and Pinterest #LittleLoves

In a week that has seen us getting out and about this week has comfortably flown by. We've connected with nature, caught up with friends at toddler group, picked up a few more pieces for the fancy dress collection and I've been working on being visible on Pinterest.

Last weekend we headed to Westonbirt Arboretum and took on The Gruffalo Trail. I had read so many posts about it that I was inspired myself to visit with the family. We had a lovely time breathing in the air and following the exercises that led to finding the Gruffalo and would recommend anyone that loves Julia Donaldson’s work to give it a go. Along the bridge we saw many pieces of information about the trees that surrounded us including this one. 

On Sunday we stayed closer to home and headed out to a carboot sale near midday. We picked up a few things such as a little dress, shrug, painting apron, book and watering can. The weather was so lovely that the field was nearly packed with people selling things and buying from them. When I spotted that Me and B had done a video on her carboot finds I was intrigued to watch it. 

Following our Star Wars make that you can read about here we've not done much in the way of making. We've also been out and about a lot this week from Westonbirt to Tetbury, Witney and Cirencester taking in all the sights and having fun as it slowly warmed up over the week. We did have a little fun creating this nature collage though before eldest decided to take it all apart again.

As you can see from this photo taken at the Arboretum we started off the week by wearing our coats and jumpers. I've noticed that it has slowly warmed up over the week and I've ended up wearing my new jacket, a t-shirt and jeans. The girls on the other hand have worn all sorts from dresses to leggings with little tops.

I've been listening to people’s thoughts on social media and been working on Pinterest. If you follow Aby from YouBabyMeMummy you are probably aware of Wonderlass otherwise known as Allison Marshall. Here she is talking about traffic and what’s worked for her. 

After a week being poorly the girls are back to themselves and we ventured back to toddler group. Youngest has really taken to her knees over the last month or so darting everywhere and is keen to try out standing. The health visitor questioned why she wasn't cruising the furniture last month and I put it down to the simple fact we hadn't shown her. Now she’s cruising and trying to climb stairs! 

What have you been up to this week?
