Mothers day

I write this post full of cold, unable to take anything to make me better because baby number two is growing in my stomach. Its crazy to believe that this time next year, heck this time in a few months, I will be the mother to two children..two little boys. That this time in a few weeks Rio will be two himself.

For Mothers day id asked for Lush things. Having a long hot soak before becoming a parent is underrated. I like to make the most of mine. But when Rio greeted me with "Happy Mothers Day Mummy".. that was all I needed! Which is a pretty good job, considering he refused to give me my card. Drawing on it is much more fun!.. He later passed me the envelope with a "Happy Birthday" before I had to head of to work. No rest for the wicked.

My first mothers day

Sunday was my first mothers day :) i think..do you class the one where there in your tummy? probably not, i didnt!

I dont like really obvious gifts & luckily Craig knows me so well that i didnt just end up with 'mum' keepsakes and flowers. Dont get me wrong, flowers are nice sometimes..i just prefer them as a random suprise. Saying that, the last time Craig suprised me with "flowers" it was a poinsettia near christmas.

10 points for spotting the spelling mistake!

He suprises me does my Craigy. I babble to him while im browsing beauty magazines/blogs in bed, thinking he's dozing off and blanking me, but he's secretly memorising everything i want. Apart from the bubble wand. He randomly likes to buy me these himself. Last time he came home with 'the mum'. More fitting for the day, but anyhow..like he says "it goes well with the bath bomb".

1. Id been browsing the Lush website, and said "ooh these have petal in, isnt that a good idea?". Normally i stick to my oldtime two favourites avobath & fizzbanger so i will have to give these a try.

2/3. These are both finds from the latest glamour mag. I've got fine hair but never really bought products designed for it. Since Rio likes to grab handfuls of my hair and snap it off not only did i need a product designed for it..i also needed another to strengthen it. I was getting too tempted to cut it all back off again so along winning louise from sprinkleofglitters straightner competition, this has given me an extra little boost to keep going.

4. As said above this was a little suprise. I think for the money their a little on the pricey side compared to a bottle of bubble bath. But its a little big of girly luxury :) and i love it!

We also went out for carvery, yumyum! & picked a mum shortbread up in asda. It was no cooplands shortbread man (which i buy all the time now i have pushchair in tow and can get away with pretending their for Rio) but we enjoyed it all the same. Blogger on the other hand doesnt like it and wont let me upload the picture!
