James is 13 - Officially a Teenager!

James as you turn 13 today it barely feels possibly that 13 whole years could have passed, yet it's even more impossible to ever imagine what life was like before you came into it either. Officially a teenager but always my baby in my heart, the one who made me a mum, the one who always has my back and yes, the one who is definitely now taller than me too! You're now officially a teenager but deep down I hope that changes nothing, because I love you exactly as you are right now. 

In the last year you have grown so much both in personality, mentality and of course physically as you now like to tease me about how much taller you are than me and how much bigger your feet are than mine too (that whole me pinching your nice trainer's phase didn't last very long did it lol!). You are so kind with the biggest heart, always thinking of others and whilst you and your sister bicker all the time when push comes to shove you always have her back. 

Happy 6th Birthday James!

On Sunday 11th October my little man James turned 6!!

I cant believe he is 6 already, when did my teeny tiny baby boy turn in to this confident little man.

Over the last 6 years I feel like we have been on a journey together I have brought him up as best as I can and he has taught me how to be the best mum I can be!

Over the weekend we celebrated James birthday with bowling and arcades with some friends on Saturday and then swimming at the Splash zone and a birthday meal out on Sunday. He seemed to have a fantastic time and smiled all day.

In this short 6 years James has taught me that life is amazing, that love is endless and that motherhood whilst hard is the best job in the world. He makes me smile when I think its not possible, he makes me proud when I don't think I could be any prouder, he makes me want to push myself that little bit harder the be the best person I can be because he is the best person he can be! He makes the dark days seem lighter, the hard days seem easier and my smiles even bigger. At just 6 years old he has shown we what real untainted, undamaged, eternal love really is. 

Happy 6th Birthday James!!

Party Bags & Supplies Party Pack **REVIEW**

With Evelyn's birthday fast approaching we were very excited to be approached by the lovely people at Party Bags & Supplies and given the opportunity to review one of their party packs!

As Evelyn had a Gruffalo themed party we of course chose the Gruffalo Party pack which has an RRP of £28.40. 
The Gruffalo party pack contains 8 Cups, 8 Plates, 20 Napkins & 1 Tablecover plus 8 The Gruffalo filled party bags. 

All of the items in the party pack where great! The party pack arrived well packaged and all items arrived in perfect condition, the party bags are pre filled which saves you a job!
I loved how bright and vibrant the colours were in the Gruffalo party pack and all of the items seemed of high quality, the cups and plates especially although disposable were strong and sturdy and of good quality. 

Happy 1st Birthday Evelyn!!

Yesterday was Evelyn's 1st Birthday!!

Im not going to lie plenty of tears have been shed, happy tears of course for my beautiful blossoming little girl who is growing so quickly before my eyes. There were of course a few sad tears mixed in there, knowing my tiny baby girl is growing she is becoming more and more independent and doesn't "need" mummy for half as much now!

Evelyn of course is loving all of the attention  and has been thoroughly spoilt by all of our lovely friends and family. We held her a little Gruffalo tea party on the weekend and you can see that HERE.

I cant believe this tiny baby girl I brought home from the hospital....

Has become this very cheeky 1 year old little lady with a mind all of her own....

This year has been tough, we have all had to adjust to becoming a family of 4 and James has done us so proud in becoming an amazing big brother. 

There have been tears and tantrums from Me and Evelyn! But more than that there have been so many more smiles and love filling this house and filling our hearts. Its been an amazing first year Evelyn and I can't wait to see you grow even more over the next year.
