Hey, its been a while since i wrote again, i will be better at this one day. A few people asked me to share my advent activity ideas after seeing the post on my stories. I did get most of my ideas from Pinterest! (my go to place for ideas!) so you have probably seen…
I am by no means, a professional teacher. I do however have a level 3 in childcare, and am pretty good at the crafty side of things, if I don’t say so myself. I am a fond lover of Pinterest, I use it at least once every day for an idea for something! In these…
I made the decision yesterday, to not send Arabella to preschool for the foreseeable future! Which is a shame for her (and for me), she’ll miss her friends and I’ll probably tear my hair out after the first week! If you’re a bit worried about how you’re going to entertain, your kids at home without…
Every January I feel like its a new black canvas. We’ve got a fresh start! This year, we’re in a whole new decade, so somehow that seems like even more of a fresh blank slate, and I feel good about it! I make resolutions every year, they are all usually along the same lines; drink…
So today was the starting week of mine and @rhiannoniles hashtag challenge. We’ve had some lovely entries already today, but you have all week to join in. Our hashtag challenge lasts a week, because we know sometimes that doing it on a certain day can be difficult with busy schedules, and parenting in general. Every…
Myself (@fernrochelle) and @rhiannoniles have teamed up to bring you a new Instagram photo challenge to run throughout the 6 week summer holidays, 1 prompt per week! Anyone can join in, just simply follow the prompt as closely or loosely as you like, tag myself (@fernrochelle) and Rhiannon (@rhiannoniles) and use the hashtag #HolidayHashtagChallenge The…
I think the number one worry about going on a holiday abroad with kids, is the flight. How will we keep them entertained? How will they sit still? How will we keep them quiet? A million questions you ask yourself… I didn’t feel quite as anxious last time, with just one child. But now with…
So with less than two weeks to go until our family holiday, I’m feeling more unorganised then ever. Suitcases aren’t even here to begin thinking about packing yet… I’m anxious about the flight with the girls, and just in general flying. I’m not great with heights (or the idea of falling!) but I am desperate…
Yesterday we decided to go for a little photo shoot in the woods, amongst the bluebells. I packed a few photo props including the girls teepee 🙈 and off we went! When we arrived at the top of the woods, we got out the car (Matilda had already fallen asleep!). Arabella and her friend Ellie…
I decided when Arabella was born that I would write her a letter every year, for her to receive when she is older. I’m not sure when I’ll stop but I’ll go as long as I can. And now I have Matilda, I feel obliged to do the same! Dear Matilda, You turned one last…
As you all know Matilda’s first birthday is today. I made her a photo board for her party on Saturday and So many of you have asked how I made my photo board and where to get the bits, so I thought I’d do a blog post on it all. •For the photo board, I…
Every year, I write in my new year goals – ‘BLOG MORE’. And yes it’s usually in capital letters. Low and behold here I am again, writing my first blog post in over four months and guess what’s at the top of my list? Maybe this year, I’ll keep on top of it? 🙈 My…
Hi guys, 👋🏻 I just wanted to give you a quick run down about my page and event @megsauction. The auction is going to start next Friday (the 13th July) I’m a bit superstitious so I’m kinda worried about it, you guys best not let me down 😂. I don’t want bad luck, and no…
Again it’s been a while since I last blogged. Every single time I post, I say I’ll make the effort to post more but I just never get the time. Today however I am making the effort, because I feel it is needed. My best friend Megan, has just been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer.…
Yesterday we ventured to Portishead near Bristol too see a very good friend of mine Megan and her little girl Marnie. It takes around 45 minutes in the car which is a task in itself. Trying to occupy a toddler in the car when it’s just yourself driving and they keep dropping stuff and asking…
Today I got asked by a almost four year old, if I had another baby in my tummy. I didn’t take it to heart, in fact I found it quite funny, but obviously I need to cut down on the cake and biscuits. After my pregnancy with Arabella I lost my weight really quickly, I…
Easter is fast approaching! Crazy right? When we were younger (myself and my sisters) we got an Easter egg each from mum and our dad, and then quite a lot of the family got us eggs too, so we’d end up with like 7/8 Easter eggs. Used to take us weeks to eat them -…
Matilda is two months already! Crazy… time went so quickly with one child, but now I have 2, the days just fly by. Matilda is so different to what Arabella was like as a baby. I know every child is different but I just wasn’t expecting it to be that much of a change. Matilda…
Happy Mother’s Day to all you beautiful hardworking mummy’s out there. We’ve all heard the saying being a mum is a full time job and until you have kids you don’t understand that it actually is. I’m constantly working all round the clock. From just getting out of bed early in the morning (there’s no…
I’d like to welcome our newest arrival little Matilda. Finally! I got induced 6 days early due to marco having to go on a training course (which he no longer needs to go on now- hooray!!!) Obviously I didn’t say anything and went ahead with being induced as I didn’t want to go over as…
I can’t believe that I have just one month left till my due date! Not only has this pregnancy gone super fast, but this whole year has! Marco is also home in just 5 more sleeps! Excited is an under statement! It’s been a really good year for us! We had our first family holiday,…
That time already?! I have just 6 weeks till my due date! Can’t believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone! So it’s about time I think about packing my hospital bag, Although I’m sure I’ll go over due! Unless I can manage to persuade the midwife today to let me be induced a couple days…
Short post today. The second one is kind of a follow on from the first.. there is something good in every day.. even something little. 💗🙌🏻 I don’t have much more to say on the matter. We’ve not don’t a lot again today! We went into town this morning and posted parcels, had a quick…
I have a lot of wishes and dreams for the future. The usual, be happy, have a loving family, have loads of money, live in a big house – all vintage and pretty. Go on lots of holidays and so on. A more realistic dream that at the moment seems impossible but I hope to…
Happiness is a lot of things. Happiness is cuddles with Arabella, hearing Arabella say I love you back. 💗 Happiness is face-times with marco, opening the door to marco when he’s been away for weeks or hearing his voice when he’s come home from being away/ work. Happiness is laying in bed with Marco just…
The 1st day of November. The first day I’ve had a couple hours off from Arabella for 2 weeks. The first day I’ve cried since marco leaving and the first time I almost cried in public. The first time I’ve really thought how hard it is going to be with two children. The first time…
So as most of you know, my partner is in the Royal Marines. I met him just over 3 years ago. He had already been in the marines for a couple years, and was based in my town. I met him on a night out, gave him my number, and then went home. I honestly…
Autumn is by far my most favourite time of year! I'm literally so excited for September to come! It's my babies birthday, my birthday, Halloween, bonfire night, and just a beautiful time of the year! I love the colours, the smells, the darker evenings, the warm cosy jumpers, hot chocolates, apple and blackberry crumbles and…
I was supposed to write this blog post last night but it didn’t really go to plan! I was also supposed to do orders but that didn’t happen either! This pregnancy I’m literally so tired all the time, I could do with a whole day in bed a week. Or at least a lie in…
So… I’ve not posted in almost a year again. I am so crap at this blogging 😳😅😂 I literally love the idea of blogging and have so much to talk about, but for some reason I just never find the time! That needs to change! Because I really do want to do this… even if…
A letter to my daughter on her first birthday To my beautiful little ray of sunshine. Thank you for putting meaning to my life and giving me a reason to smile every day. I can’t imagine my life without you. You’ve brought so much happiness into my life as soon as you entered it.…
Oh we’ve had such a busy day today! We dropped Emily to nursery (late as usual!) I am so badly unprepared in the mornings! I can’t ever leave the house before 10am and if I do I’m bound to have forgot something. 😳😂 Once we dropped Emily to nursery. We walked to the basins. It’s…
My due date was the 16th September last year. She didn’t actually arrive until the 29th September! Kept me waiting a whole extra 13 days! As if nine months isn’t enough? My baby girl is going to be one in under 4 weeks. How did that happen? I remember my labour like it was yesterday.…
I was going to say I’m so spoilt but then that would mean I get things brought for me (which I don’t very often) what I mean to say is Arabella is very spoilt but it’s kind of for me too?? Anyone else get more excited about buying baby/ children clothes then clothes for yourself? …
