Birthday No.33

Where do the years go I'm now 33 eek! 

I got some lovely Marc Jacob perfume Dots from the hubby and Cath Kidston Dotty shoes that I have been lusting after.

For a birthday treat we spent the day at Stratford Upon Avon as one of my favourite places is the Butterfly Farm. 

After we indulged in a dominos pizza and  my fab cake of four little pigs which was yummy. 

I was also treated to some of my favourite flowers and bubbly.

Must say it was a much better birthday than last year as Ollie and I were ill.

The birthday treats don't stop there as on Saturday I'm having a child free day and getting my hair sorted - cant wait :)

My Christmas List

I've thought long and hard about my christmas list well maybe not but instead of gifts that I probably don't need or actually want the three things that would be priceless to me are:

1. Some time to myself. 

2. A full night of sleep.

3. A lay in even if only til 8am.

Please, please, please someone get me these for christmas - only 38 days to go :)

Two Year Old Celebrations

First of the celebrations for Ollie's 2nd birthday was a little family party on Sunday 14th so Nana, Grandad Bob, Uncle Luke and Great Nanny Ann could spoil him with presents and all the attention he craves.

The theme was Peppa Pig as this is the only cartoon he tends to watch and I made number two cookies which I am pretty proud of.

Handmade cookies

Tuesday 16th April was his actual birthday, he was spoilt yet again by mummy and daddy. In the morning before daddy went to work he opened one present which was a big George from Peppa Pig. He had to wait for the the rest until daddy came home which included his favourite things like colouring books and story books, but his main present was a little tikes car which to our surprise came in quite a few pieces so that's daddy's job to build.

Milkshake mouth

My friend Debbie came over in the day and we took Ollie to the park then he was treated to his first milkshake and his own mini cupcake. 

In the evening grandma and grandad came with yet another present and treated us all to pizza.

Overall I think he had a pretty good birthday as he had all the attention he needs and deserves.

Happy 2nd Birthday little man :)

31 Today

8 Months pregnant and 30

I'm another year older and this time 31.

This time last year I was huge and uncomfortable at 8 months pregnant and turning the BIG 30 as you can see in the picture, I couldn't even have a drink to celebrate but I had my best present in my belly.

Me a year on

This last year has flown by, but it's been packed with all things baby (massive life change) and trying to set up my own ventures online (Fish4Clicks) as I wanted my 30's to take a different path.

I also have this mummy blog which I've carried on for over a year but also started "Mummy Beautiful" to post about my interests in fashion and beauty so check out my latest post on my outfit under £20 as in pic to the right.

It's my first birthday being a mummy and I love my card from my little man, I even got a full size footprint inside. I have a thing about Ollie's feet as in one of my scans they were so clear I couldn't wait to kiss them. 

Ollie Print

My lovely hubby spoilt me with this fabulous necklace of Ollie's footprint so when I'm back at work I have a part of Ollie with me.

I would recommend Kiddieprints as they are super fast with organising this in time for my birthday and even did the print for us at short notice.

I also got a fab cake that went down nicely with Pink sparkles umm!

I LOVE BIRTHDAYS.
