We received a great game to review from Crayola. I'm sure you know them for their fantastic art and craft products like crayons and colouring pens. What you probably didn't know was that they have now ventured into the world of games and they have a fantastic selection. This is … [Read more...] about Crayola Scribble Scramble Review

I canโ€™t believe Motherโ€™s Day is already on Sunday! I feel this last year has passed so quickly despite having the most unprecedented year with all the ups and downs due to the pandemic. It has been really tough these last couple of weeks with homeschooling, so all us mums just need some extra love on Monday! I know I want lots of cuddles from my girls! โฃ
โฃ
If you are still looking for some ideas of what to give to your mum, then @moonpig has it sorted for you. They have delicious afternoon tea gift experiences, adorable Tatty Teddy bears, bottles of bubbly and Motherโ€™s Day gift boxes that you can choose from, so your options are endless. โฃ
โฃ
I felt super special with the gifts that Moonpig sent me so I am already getting ready for Sunday ๐Ÿ˜‰ โฃ
โฃ
I have also written a blog post with some ideas to pick, so pop over if you are looking for some inspiration and check Moonpigโ€™s website. I promise you wonโ€™t be disappointed. Their Motherโ€™s Day gift ideas are fantastic!โฃ

Have you sorted your gift for Motherโ€™s Day? โฃ

Who is excited for tomorrow? ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป The girls canโ€™t wait to see their friends and teachers and have a long catch up after so many weeks at home! And I canโ€™t wait to have my routine back and get some much needed โ€œme timeโ€! I also have a MASSIVE โ€œTo Do listโ€ that I need to start getting on with ASAP! ๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™™ to doing ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ข๐™ค๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ข๐™ค๐™ง๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ? โฃ

We also wanted to show you the latest outfits that @welovefrugi kindly gifted to the girls from their latest Spring collection. They always have so many colours in their collections that always make my girls stand out when they wear them. ๐ŸŒˆโฃ
โฃ
The girls are loving their outfits! Since we got them (one week) they have already worn them twice! I guess if I do the laundry quicker they would probably wear them even more! Lol โฃ
โฃ
Sienna got 2 lovely outfits, a gorgeous dress (Spring Skater Dress) that you can see in the picture and a red top (Sophie Applique Top) together with green leggings (Libby Printed Leggings) that match beautifully. She looks so adorable. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Check my ๐™๐™ง๐™ช๐™œ๐™ž ๐™ƒ๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ก๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ to watch her talking about her thoughts on both outfits. So cute! ๐Ÿ’•โฃ
โฃ
And Bella got another dungaree (Maya Dungaree) because she absolutely loves dungarees and much better if they are from Frugi because she loves how colourful they are! She also gave her feedback about her outfit so donโ€™t forget to check the highlight. It is lovely to hear what they think! ๐Ÿ˜โฃ
โฃ
Their new collection is live on their website, so go and have a look and let me know what you think! ๐Ÿ˜ƒโฃ

Wow, February literally passed by so quickly! I canโ€™t believe March is already here and it is welcoming us with such lovely weather, isnโ€™t it? โฃ
โฃ
This weekend was lovely. We literally were out for a walk without a jacket. It was so warm that it felt like Spring already. It definitely brought a big smile to all of us. The sun lifts your spirit, doesnโ€™t it? โฃ
โฃ
One more week of homeschooling and we will be starting to get some normality. The girls are so excited to go back to school. If the days keep being so nice, we will be using our scooters to go to school! I canโ€™t wait as I really need an excuse to keep myself more active. โฃ
โฃ
I also started a diet last week. I ordered a 28-day meal plan in which I have to follow my daily allowed calories according to my BMI. Tomorrow will be one week of it and I am not going to lie, I have struggled because I was so hungry but I got my willpower back and was determined to keep going. I will check my weight tomorrow, so fingers crossed it paid off. โฃ
โฃ
We also decided to book a couple of holidays. One in May and another one in July, so we are super excited! Something to look forward to. Letโ€™s hope all plans stay the same. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโฃ

Since the announcement on Monday, I cannot stop feeling so hopeful and positive! I canโ€™t wait for 8th March so the girls can go back to school. We already received an email from the school confirming this is happening so we are very excited. The girls are really looking forward to seeing their friends. They need that interaction! โค๏ธโฃ
โฃ
I also cannot stop smiling today because I managed to book an appointment at the hairdresser for 13th April. Whoop Whoop! This was due way before this pandemic started so you can imagine how much I need it! This makes me incredibly happy! ๐Ÿ˜ƒโฃ
โฃ
We havenโ€™t booked any holidays yet but we are looking for options. We definitely need a break but really contemplating booking somewhere abroad as we definitely need guaranteed good weather. I just want to lay down on the beach sunbathing with a cocktail. ๐™ƒ๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™—๐™ค๐™ค๐™ ๐™š๐™™ ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ข๐™š๐™ฉ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ? ๐Ÿโœˆ๏ธโฃ

We didnโ€™t do much apart from watching movies, visits to the GP, Pharmacy and supermarkets.

I donโ€™t think I am ready for another term of homeschooling but the good news is that at least our batteries are recharged. Letโ€™s see what Boris says tomorrow. Do you think we will be out of this lockdown soon? โฃ
โฃ
I got a lot of messages about Bellaโ€™s burn so I wanted to say Thank You so much as well as giving you an update. We went on Friday to the GP and the nurse changed her dressing. We saw it and it has healed well and the nurse was happy with it but I am worried as it still looks very big and the scar might not vanish that easily. Bella doesnโ€™t seem to be worried which is a relief as you donโ€™t want your kids to be traumatised after an accident like this. Bless her!โฃ
โฃ
I guess we just have to give it time and hopefully with lots of creams it will disappear. I will have to change her dressing by myself on Tuesday, so I will check how it is looking by then. Fingers crossed it is getting better. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโฃ

๐Ÿ“ธ I am sharing a photo from Symi, Greece. Nick and I visited it for our 10th anniversary back in May 2019 childfree. What would I do for holidays like this again? We went to Rhodes and took a ferry to visit this gorgeous island. It is an under 2 hours trip. ๐Ÿšค  ๐™ƒ๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™ซ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™ ๐™Ž๐™ฎ๐™ข๐™ž ๐™—๐™š๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™š? If not it is definitely somewhere you should add to your travel bucket list. If you would like to find more about Symi I have added a blog post I have written when we visited (link in my bio). โฃ

These two are my world! I love them so much! When they get hurt, I feel it too! It is a pain inside my heart that wonโ€™t go away until I know they are okay. This is how I felt on Tuesday night when my eldest daughter, Bella (10 years old) had an accident at home. โฃ
โฃ
If you have watched my stories, you probably know that she hurt herself. She was pouring some hot water from the kettle into a hot water-bottle. She got distracted and poured some of the water on her legs. ๐Ÿ˜žโฃ
โฃ
At the start it didnโ€™t look that bad. So we did everything we thought we should do when something like that happens. We put cold water on her leg straight away, then we put lots of aloe vera very often for about 1 hour. We have a bottle of 100% aloe vera which is amazing for this kind of burn. โฃ
โฃ
It was time to go to bed, so we put aloe vera one more time and wrapped her leg with cling film. We also gave her ibuprofen for the pain and some ice inside a zip bag which seemed to help with the hot sensation she had in that area. โฃ
โฃ
She slept that night with me, so I was able to check on her during the night. Thankfully, she slept through the night but when she woke up, we checked her skin and inevitably she had a big blister. It didnโ€™t look good, so we called the GP and we got an emergency appointment straight away which was very helpful. โฃ
โฃ
When we arrived the nurse cleared the area and burst the blister. It looked better after that and she covered her skin with a special dressing to avoid any infections. She is fine at the moment. It doesnโ€™t hurt her anymore which is a relief as it could be uncomfortable. โฃ
โฃ
We have been asked to go back to the GP on Friday, so the nurse can change her dressing. We are really hoping her skin has healed well and that she wonโ€™t have a big scar. I know this will take time and hopefully with creams it will vanish. But right now we are just waiting for Friday, so we can see her skin again. Fingers crossed it is all good! Wish us luck! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโฃ

I am not very good at cooking. Luckily for me, Nick not only enjoys cooking but he is actually very good at it. And it looks like the girls have inherited his skills as they are quite good too, especially Bella. โฃ
โฃ
We received a fun and interactive workbook that @maplecanadauk and @cookschoolclub have created together to encourage young children to get cooking.  These workbooks are aimed for children aged three to eleven years old. The idea is to help children to better understand their food and teach them new skills. โฃ
โฃ
There are 3 workbooks. One for children aged three to five (early years), another one for kids five to seven-year-olds (key stage 1), and the final book for ages seven to eleven (key stage 2). Each workbook contains two recipes, a series of activities and a list of the key skills learnt from completing the book together with a step-by-step recipe video. These workbooks are perfect to do while we are in lockdown surviving homeschooling, It is a fun activity to do with your kids. โฃ
โฃ
The recipe they chose was ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™™ ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ๐™จ. It has lots of vegetables, baked beans, bread among other ingredients. And of course, the most important ingredient was the ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™–๐™™๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š ๐™Ž๐™ฎ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฅ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™™๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™ข๐™—๐™š๐™ง. There are four grades of Canadian maple syrup and each has its own distinct colour, flavour profile and qualities (Golden, Amber, Dark and Very Dark) which brings different tastes and versatility, it is good for you as well as being a natural source of energy. โฃ
โฃ
The girls did a fantastic job. The Canadian Maple Syrup was the highlight of the recipe. It gave it a pinch of sweetness that was delicious. And the best part is that they had a lot of fun! โฃ

The workbooks are free to download from @maplecanadauk website. There is a link in my bio. โฃ
