Our week

This week we have had picnics, visited 2 playgrounds, been to gymnastics and ballet and played with friends! The weather is finally becoming more like summer here so it's been a great week to get outdoors! 

Joules Haul

Sorry for the poor quality photos! Recently we took a trip to a clothing outlet and I decided to have a browse in Joules. I have never shopped in Joules before so I had no idea what to expect really. It reminded me of Boden but as it was an outlet it was a fraction of the price.

My hen weekend

Mia is sleeping through the night!

This is going to be a short announcement post but I thought it was worth it as this is big news in our household! 

Mia is finally after 2 years sleeping through the night regularly and not waking until 7am!

Back in February of this year I decided I had, had enough of one of us having to go up with her every night anywhere between midnight - 2am and sleep with her in the spare room. I had already worked hard to establish a good bedtime routine and she was falling asleep on her own each night. I went out and purchased the Gro-clock and it was honestly the best £20 I have ever spent! She picked up the concept really quickly and I also had a sticker chart to reward her when she didn't wake us before 'the sun came up' on her clock. At first she would still wake and I would explain to her that the sun wasn't up and that she has to stay in her bed. We had a few  tears and a few times she asked to ''go in other bed'' but I was determined not to give in! After about 5 weeks she is now sleeping through without waking most nights! It's amazing to know that when I go to bed I won't be woken and we will have 8 hours of undistutbed sleep! I will do a separate post in more detail for those who need help sleep training a toddler and I think I will also do a review of the gro-clock because it is brilliant! 

Life update!

So I haven't been blogging much recently. Basically my iPhone is broken and I write all my posts via my iPhone so I've been a little lost without it! 

Just a little update of what we've been up to over the last month or so....

Our week in photos

These last few weeks have been a little crazy. We've been quite busy with work and home life. We're going on a short trip to Paris in a couple of weeks and we've been getting organised for that. It will be our first family holiday abroad which is pretty exciting! Here are a few photos from the past week. 

February

February has been a quiet month on the blog. It's gone really quickly and a lot has happened in a short space of time. We have bought our wedding rings, booked a candy cart for the wedding and are in the process of sleep training Mia again! (More on that in another post!) 

Here's a few pictures of our February.
