Another hanging-around-the-house-morning, breastfeeding friendly outfit. Leggings are my go-to on lazy days, so comfortable & acceptable in public (unlike pyjamas, boo!) A patterned cardigan and a bright lip to jazz up an otherwise pretty boring outfit. The lip colour is from Boot's 17 range, and the colour is gorgeous, long-lasting and doesn't dry my lips at all! Winner. My adorable initial rings are from the Etsy shop Mimic Design, and were my Mothers Day present. Mary-Anne, the shop owner, is truly one of the loveliest people I have ever e-mailed. The customer service was impeccable, even when I made her wait forever before I could give her my ring size, she was so courteous and friendly, a pleasure to work with. I love these dainty little rings, with the letters of my boys, sitting alongside my engagement ring, they make me smile.

EATING scones with cherry conserve, drinking a Diet Coke. This is becoming a cheeky nap-time ritual!
LOVING Criminal Minds. I've been watching it daily too, at nap time. I find it fascinating, and I love the way you can't stop watching! Plus, I'd watch pretty much anything with Derek Morgan's arms in! It actually lead to a pretty weird dream last night, where I turned into a ninja to arrest George Clooney!
MOVING just my left arm, the other's under a sweet sleeping baby, and typing with one hand in this position is killing my wrist!!
TAKING the chance to do as much as I can with the boys, before I go back to work in a little over a week! This morning we went to soft play, and tomorrow we're going swimming with Nana. I'll still have afternoons with them, but that doesn't leave an awful lot of time after naps.

001. Only a few pictures this week, I backed up my phone on Sunday & deleted a bunch of pictures to make some space before uploading them to Flickr. Hashtag fail. But some pretty cute ones right?!
002. I haven't been feeling great the last few days, I think I have a blocked milk duct. I woke up yesterday feeling achey, shakey & nauseous, with a sore & swollen left side. I thought it was just engorgement, and though I feel better today I'm still sore so I'm hoping to go and see the Dr tomorrow.
003. We went to a party on Sunday morning, for a friend of Daniel's, at a soft play centre. The boys had a blast, on the bouncy castle & in the giant ball pool, Daniel was so rosy cheeked and kept jumping into the pool - my brave boy! He insisted on wearing his Jake outfit too, because one time we went to a fancy dress party & now he's convinced it's his party wear! It's totally adorable and not worth a fight so I let him!
004. I LOVE getting comments on my blog! Who doesn't right?! I try to reply to them all, and the easiest way to do that is by email, rather than trawling through each and every post because it takes a lot of time, something that's running short round here! Unfortunately, a lot of my commenters don't have their email address 'attached' to their blog account, so I can't reply :( If you're unsure, please check this post, by the wonderful Mandy, to change your settings!

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."
Daniel, playing 'tend with his pirates, sliding them down the slide, yelling 'whee!' & asking "Was dat fun?! You like to do dat again?!" I love watching his imagination grow!
Joshua, STANDING! I may have cried a little the first time, but soon got over excited and encouraged him to do it again, and again. Today he took three steps, and I'm not sure how to feel.
Inspired by the wonderful Jodi, from Che and Fidel

It doesn't even matter that these pictures aren't perfect - blurry, poor quality & bad lighting - because they show such a wonderful time. I was so excited to get away for a week with my boys, no distractions, and it didn't disappoint. We went bowling, did lots of swimming & splashing, saw some very brave deer, rabbits and ducks right outside our window, went on bike rides with the boys snuggled together in the trailer, explored parks and soft play areas like it was our job. Colin was absolutely brilliant with the boys, especially for the first part of the week when I wasn't feeling so hot, and he's definitely the favourite round here right now. I think it's brought us all closer together, that small amount of time in the middle of nowhere, spent just with each other. It was refreshing to switch off, and I definitely haven't checked my social media quite as much since we've been back, but I can't quite quit it. I love sharing these little parts of our lives, and in turn being inspired by others'.
