Yesterday I deceided I would walk the long way to Iceland and Morrisons. Mainly because I'm trying to keep my steps up as I am trying to loose some weight! Anyway, the weather was mild, the kids were at school so I took a stroll a long the seafront. It's so peaceful and such a pleasant walk! I've forgot how much I enjoy walking a long the seafront.

The gardens a long the 'front are so beautiful! It all looks so green and so spring like! I should really take myself for a walk along the seafront more often to be honest. There's something about walking a long the seafront and through the gardens that's therapeutic, you know?


Spring is just around the corner, I can not wait for the Easter holidays so I can take the kids to the beach and enjoy some lovely spring weather :)

At the end of January, we finally got some snow!
I was actually in the middle of walking to the school to collect E from her after school club. It was overcast when I left the house, I didn't realise just how drastically fast the weather would change! I got half way to the school and the sky looked like this:



I got to the school and by the time Ellie came out it had started to hail/sleet/rain/snow. And the wind was horrendous. We tried to run home but it was impossible. Ellie thought this was quite exciting and funny, I however, really didn't like it at all!


And then literally 2 or 3 minutes later it looked like this and the snow was coming down quite thick and fast! I couldn't believe how much snow we had within a few minutes!



Ellie loved making footprints in the snow. I didn't take many photos because I thought it was best to keep my phone out of the cold and wet weather! I really wish we had of got enough snow to build a snowman at least. I don't like snow personally but I know the kids would really enjoy it. It would be nice to just have enough for a snowball fight and to build a little snowman! I wonder if we'll get any more snow?

This weeks #TheGallery theme is play. I of course have tonnes of photos of my children playing but here are a few of my favourites taken over the past few months.

Harry got the LFC edition of molopoly for Christmas. It's such a great game to play with all the family.


Charlie's favourite thing to play lately is his guitar! He's teaching himself to play via youtube and music books, he's getting better each day, bless him.



Ellie also loves playing with her stuffed toys. My little sister gave her a bunch of mini ones (that are also keyrings), they were my sisters when she was little and Ellie really, really loves them. They are really cute! She builds them little lego houses, haha, cute.


How have you and your little ones been enjoying play lately?

This weeks #TheGallery theme is trees. I really love taking photos. I especially love taking photos of nature. Honestly, sometimes I think we all take nature for granted and don't appreciate how beautiful is truly it is. One of my absolute favourite things to take photographs of is trees. I know that probably sounds a bit weird but can you imagine nature without trees?! So I thought I would share a few of my favourite photos of trees that I have taken recently.

An early evening in January.

A rainy January day

An old tree in January!

Last year I captured a photo of the willow tree (which stands in a meadow not too far away), in every season which I thought was pretty cool!


And I have to share one of my favourite photos I've ever taken of my three children, all together! Standing underneath a tree, hehe. This was taken a couple of years ago when we went to Liverpool to visit family. It was such a good little break away!

This week's #TheGallery theme is yellow.
I thought I would share these pictures of yellow leaves, I took these photos at the zoo a few weeks ago! The zoo is beautiful this time of year. Autumn is such a stunning tome of year.

I've got SO many photos of the sky, it's hard to choose which one to link up with #TheGallery. I thought about linking up some of our red arrow photos or perhaps our photos of the beautiful blue sky along the river. I think I really like this photo best though. I love the colours. It's such a warm sunset! The picture really doesn't do it any justice if I'm honest. I sat outside for a good half an hour just watching the sky change colours, it was beautiful!

So, it's that time of year again where the kids go back to school. It's really bittersweet because I of course miss my little darlings but it's nice to get back into a routine and it's also nice that I can get things done around the house without being interrupted but gosh, I do not like the quiet when they're at school. I mean, it's nice for a little while but I just.. I don't like the house when it's quiet, it feels empty and lonely, do you know what I mean?
Anyway, they were excited to go back to school. Although Harry was rather grumpy this morning and was like "It's too early, why can't school start at 10:30?!" Haha. He takes after me - not a morning person.

They had a fantastic first day back and Charlie has already made a new friend. There's a new kid started in his class and he's excited to have a new friend! Ellie enjoyed seeing all her friends and telling everyone how she had a "fantastical" summer, bless. Harry's also glad to be back, even if the mornings are way too early.

Ellie, Charlie & Harry looking smart in there uniforms.

Did your little ones have a good first day back? Let me know in the comments :)

Here's a photo of me when I was seventeen/eighteen years old. I hadn't long had Harry, he was just a baby! I've shared photos of me as a young child before, so this time I thought I'd share me as a teenager, just becoming an adult.
Look how tiny I was, lol! Oh how I wish I was still this size now - If only!!!


It's a small photo, I've no idea why it was so small. It was taken on a digital camera but one of the first ones out I do believe. So yes, this is a younger me.

This weeks #TheGallery theme is: One Word. I choose sky. I took this photo a few weeks ago, it really summed up the weather, we had showers, clouds and sunshine, I took this photo just after a shower.

A close up of Harry. He has lovely blue eyes. He's only 10 and already started get pimples. He's growing up too fast for my liking!


A close up of Charlie/ He has big blue eye,s too! He has freckles in the summer, when the sun is out. Cute little freckles on his nose, I'll have to get a picture when those are showing. So cute!


A picture of Ellie's blue eyes close up! They all have blue eyes! Blue eyes and blonde hair.
Personally I have green eyes. I tried to take a photo of mine close up but it was difficult, I'll get someone else to take a photo one day. Mind you, the whites of my eyes have many blood vessels showing because I have problems with my eyes.

And I had to share the close up photo of my beautiful cat Lotti. She has lovely, pretty cat eyes, hehe.

 There is nothing else in this world that makes me happier than my little ones, especially when they are happy! I love seeing them happy and smiling, knowing and seeing that they're happy, makes me happy! (Could I say 'happy' many more times?! Haha)




Look at there smiley faces :D.

Also, my cat makes me happy, lol. Seriously she is part of the family and we love her so much. She sleeps on my bed at night, purring away. Love the sound of her purring, that also makes me happy!

This week #TheGallery theme is 'Easter'.

We had a wonderful Easter. The kids got quite a few Easter eggs. I think they'll still be eating Easter eggs at Christmas, lol.

Some of the kids eggs

I also got an Easter egg, which I totally feel guilty about eating! And I am suppose to be on a glutten and dairy free diet but...but... it was Easter and I couldn't NOT have chocolate, haha. Excuses, excuses - I know! It was very yummy though!


I'll be writing a post about our Easter (with photos!) when my headache isn't so bad. I can't sit at the computer for very long :/

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter :)

Right now I am writing this blog post, lol.
I've just got back from Tesco, Harry needed new school T.shirts because all of his are too small! Can you believe he's in aged 11-12?! He's only 10! He's so tall. Tall and skinny, that's Harry!
Anyway, I've wrote this blog post I'm going to hang some washing out on the line because it's a lovely day and then read my book for half an hour before tackling Ellie's room. I thought I'd have half an hour to myself for once. I usually do all the housework and everything first but to be honest, I'm really tired today.
(I'm also trying making more time to read this month, I only managed to read 2 books last

This week's #TheGallery theme is 'Sport' so I thought I'd put together a few pictures from last summer of the kids taking part in sports! My boys are especially sporty, they love football and running around. They're such typical boys, hehe. They also enjoy basketball and most other sports, too! Ellie doesn't mind football and running.. She often wants me to race with her (hahah, me running?! LOL) her favourite is swimming though, she can't 'swim' as such (we're gonna work on that this summer!) but she enjoys trying to swim and being in the pool! Such fun, hehe.

playing ball

Harry LOVES football!

Basket Ball! Yay!

Ellie playing in the pool.

Beautiful daffodils.

Morning sunshine!

So my guilty pleasures just lately is chocolate. Especially M&M's and Wispa's. Yum! To be fair, I don't actually eat very much chocolate because I am trying to loose a few lbs.
No more chocolate for me for a while now though.

What are your guilty pleasures? Why not join up with the The Sticky Fingers Blog and join in the linky!
