Visit Florida

VISIT FLORIDA

We worked with Visit Florida in April 2019. We created content for them showcasing a family road trip around the state across 17 days, with stops in Miami, Key Largo, Fort Lauderdale, Anna Maria Island, Crystal River, Panama City Beach and Pensacola Beach. We created a variety of different content for them across both my social media channels and theirs as well.

It’s funny the memories you get reminded of sometimes. This was 2 years ago. We’d gone to watch Maddie play a football match near London. On the journey, we got peckish (as you do- car snacks for the win). Got myself some of my favourite chocolate buttons and happily munched away loving life.
We got to the match, watched her play, had a lovely time, went to get back in the car and headed to a services to get some lunch. I got out the car and Lottie was like ‘Mummy why have you got poo on your bum?’ 🤣
Turns out I’d watched Maddie’s entire match with melted chocolate smushed on my arse. But if that wasn’t enough, if you look closely (or swipe to see if you are that way inclined🤣) you’ll also see that somehow I also managed to get a penny stuck there too. I mean what are the chances? 🙃🤣🤣🤣
I can just imagine the amount of people we walked past that day who probably were too polite or awkward to tell me that I’d got a penny stuck to my bum. 😅 It was quite funny though. Sort of. If not a bit grim. 🤣#throwbackthursday

ad If you have been following me for a while now you will know that my girls absolutely love anything to do with reading, especially comic book style books. Lottie especially has a whole draw of comic style books, and she also loves to draw and be creative with the characters too. The girls have recently been trying out and reading @phoenixcomicuk - The Phoenix is a weekly comic that’s perfect for kids aged around 7- 14. It is packed full of exciting stories, brilliant artwork and also how to draw guides, quizzes and competitions. Lottie already knew of some of the characters, especially Bunny vs Monkey, and she has been loving reading it from cover to cover, while also trying her hand at drawing the characters too. This is exactly the kind of art she enjoys doing.
It’s a brilliant magazine, really creative and engaging for them too. I think it’s going to be perfect to read as it starts to get cooler and we are inside having cosy days more, and also nice for to get something through the post too.
If you’d like to try out The Phoenix they are currently doing an offer where you can get 6 issues for a £1. There are also other offers on there too. You can head to my stories to find the link.

Seems someone is enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. 🤣 He’s not ready for this nice weather to be over yet. 😉 Jon sent this to me earlier while I was at football and it made me smile, the way the dog is looking at him as if to say ‘Can I help you with something?’

Got a sunset paddle boarding session in this evening (which really was just sitting down and chatting with my friend 🤣) before this weather goes again. ☀️ Although it did get dark really quickly and we got a bit worried what might be lurking beneath us. 🤣

First proper week back properly into routine here (although I didn’t think the sun was going to make another proper appearance- instant Instagram photo and got the kitchen doors fully open and enjoying it while it lasts ☀️).
How are you all feeling? Does anyone have kids starting school for the first time today or this week? How are you feeling about getting back into the swing of routine etc?
I’m happy to be back into routine although I miss them when they are school, but I feel a bit unsettled at the same time. We have quite a lot going on at the moment with family stuff (grandparents etc), so I think that’s contributing, but also we are now properly starting our new after school routine, with clubs and football taking up a huge chunk of our week. While I’m happy to do it as the girls enjoy it so much, it feels more than ever like such a big commitment, especially as it’s going to take up most weekends.
I also feel a bit like I need to make sure I get really organised so I keep on top of where everyone needs to be at what time, dinners, homework, etc. Does anyone have any good tips on how to do this?
I am trying to start my own new little routines in order to feel like a bit better and more organised. Things like getting up earlier, being way more organised when it comes to meal planning, using my diary to note down everything, and switching off and reading instead of spending hours on my phone when I should be going to sleep. 🙃I’ve also joined a gym, I was doing boot camp classes but they were expensive, so I’ve joined a gym in order to try and make myself feel better and get a bit stronger. Let’s see how long it all lasts. 🤣
Are you starting any new routines or attempting to get organised for the new school year? I’d love to know how you are all doing, I hope everyone is ok. 🤍

I haven’t posted on my grid about Maddies football for so long, and then I’ve done two in a matter of weeks. 🙃🤣
But today we went to watch her old boys team play their first match of the season. It was bittersweet going as I know she is going to really miss them, from the moment she joined they all welcomed her as part of the team, and she’s absolutely loved playing with them. She’s only permitted to play for her new team going forward and while she’s incredibly excited and thrilled, she will miss them as they are such a great bunch of boys (and the coaches and parents are fantastic too).
Jon and I knew but Maddie didn’t that she actually won an award for last season… the parents had voted her supporters player of the season, and they presented it to her while we were there.
I’m not ashamed to say I had a little tear, especially when the coach said there was always a space for her on the team. They were just so kind to her. ❤️
She is so happy and her trophy (which is quite impressive I’m not going to lie 🤣) has pride of place on her bedside table.
I am so proud of this girl for her maturity and focus, and for following her passions.
More than anything though I love that she’s found something that makes her smile as wide as this. 🥰

Happy birthday to my partner in crime. 🎂🎈🎉💕We’ve had a nice simple day celebrating Jon’s birthday. He took the day off and we went into Cambridge, had some lunch, and then wandered around for ages (the sun came out which made it even better 👍🏻) looking for cows. As you do. Over the summer there has been an art trail of cows hidden all over the city and you can get a map and tick them off the list. We didn’t do that today, but we did try and spot as many as we could (I think it’s soon finishing sadly as it’s such a nice thing to do for both adults and kids).
We’ve just had a few people over for some cake, and now we are going to get the kids to bed and settle down and watch a film.
It’s also our 15th unofficial anniversary of when we decided to go public with our relationship to all the friends we worked with at the time, as we all went out together for the night, but we’d actually been seeing each other for a couple of months before that. This is the day we used to celebrate before our wedding anniversary though.
Forever thankful for my best friend. 🤍

Year Six, Year Four and Year One. ❤️
Last year of all my babies at primary school together. Last first day of primary school for Maddie.
I know as parents we say it a lot, and it’s nothing if not a cliche, but time really does fly when you are having fun. 🤍

PS tried to upload this morning but Instagram has been on one today. 🤣
