A treat for mummy

Its no secret that i've always been a girly girl, but now that im a food covered messy haired mummy make up has taken abit of a backseat and its abit of a treat to actually sit and spend time on my makeup instead of chucking abit of bronzer and mascara on. A while ago i discovered two people i know are also bloggers..crazy right? heres me naively thinking im a loner. One of which has a fashion blog, through that i found her little handmade shop and came across a brush roll i fell in love with. I had to have one made, and instead of stopping there i pushed the beauty boat out and asked if she'd be able to make me a matching makeup bag..and well the rest is history!!

Clumber park, and yet another picture of Rio playing football.

Seems as though me and Craig have the same week off together we're trying to make the most of it and have as many family days out as the weather allows. Clumber park is an old favourite of ours, and little Rio likes anything that has enough grass to kick a ball about so we're all happy chappys really.

..we'd be even happier chappies if we'd booked that last minute holiday like we'd planned but oh well, least the current bun is making an appearance. Hey maybe it will stay out long enough to take Rio on the beach for the first time at the weekend? Bucket and spade at the ready courtesy of nanna the easter bunny.

 

What a terror!!  In sports direct the other day they had balls right near the ceiling and it took him 0.2 seconds to locate them. He has some kind of sixth sense for balls/balloons. It took me about ten minutes of handing him rugby balls, basketballs etc before he got mad and pointed to the ceiling and growled "FOOTBALL", that i realised. Silly useless mummy!! ;)

Strawberry picking

Strawberry picking has become a little yearly tradition for me and Craig..at times we've been abit immature and its ended in a sly food fight but generally its just a really nice day when the suns out. This year was even better because Rio is at an age where he can enjoy it too. And enjoy it he did..he certainly tried before he buyed anyhow!! Sneaky child ;)

 

 

Another proud mummy moment!

To encourage Rio to learn more words i dug out the alphabet books. Not only can he now say apple, octopus etc he can sit and point to 90% of the book when asked. I have to admit we've been driven a little coocoo reading and rereading them..and at times moaned 'nooo Rio not again' but watching him suprise us at hard ones like 'quoits' makes it more than worth it!

What he wears..

I have an addiction with buying Rio tops, it doesnt help that at 14 months he's still in the little sizes (mainly 6-9 ) ..everything looks cuter smaller! When something catches my eye i just find myself buying it..and thats what happened today. I think you'll let me off though when you see how amazing this one is.

Voila!!

Top: Next £9 .. 9-12 month

What little boys wardrobe is complete without a top with a detachable cape?

Play mate & chicken pox

Ive never never seen Rio move, or let me get him ready so fast as when i say, "do you want to go see Jacob?".  Hes at that age where he'll happily play independently but he blooms around other toddlers.

Its strange to think these were only took yesterday as today he is covered in spots. Thats right, my little mister has chicken pox.

Two under two

Shortly after Rio was born people started talking about the next one..you know, as they do! Back then i was sure that if we were going to have another id want a small gap..the idea of them close in age and interests was something i could really see..two under two. Back then it seemed such a long time to get ready but here i am with only about a month or so left til that idea is impossible. Truth is im just enjoying being Rios mummy and for now that is enough :) so no i wont be taking advantage of Craig and turning into a sexpest anytime soon  ;)
