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.

Some memories of our Sunday (or at least the ones I want to remember 🤍). Today has been a pretty chilled day, we started our morning at junior park run, it was so nice to be back after so long. The kids really enjoyed it, and even Wren ran/walked it for the first time which I couldn’t believe. He looked so little running along with Jon. If you’ve not tried one before I really recommend it, it’s a nice free family weekend activity to get some fresh air. It’s so nice things like that are starting back up. We then took my mums dog Teddy for a walk which was nice, although it was freezing (the first photo of Rolo putting his paw on Maddie’s leg 😭😍) Other than that we’ve been at home, we watched a film, I had a serious strop about the state of the girls bedroom and told them I was shutting the door on it plus other threats (I sounded like such a mother 🤣), and we’ve just been at home doing the usual kind of stuff you do on a Sunday.
Hope you’ve all had a good weekend. Only one more day off school for us tomorrow and then it’s the end of the holidays for us. 🤍

ad| Has everyone had a nice long weekend? Today has been a bit more chilled for us, it wasn’t quite as warm as when we did this fun afternoon in the garden earlier in the week with @georgeatasda . I thought I would share a few more photos of our sunny afternoon, I love all these colourful photos.
Just out of interest, if you do an egg hunt, how do you do them? Do you leave chocolate out? non edible eggs? Or do you have one egg as a prize at the end? Do you do clues?
We do hastily written clues on bits of paper and the kids take turns reading them (except Wren who isn’t quite at that stage yet!). And we have plastic eggs with little eggs inside dotted about.
Also did you get an Easter egg for yourself? We don’t bother with ourselves anymore, we just tend to nibble on the kids when they aren’t looking haha.😉Although I kind of wish I had one for me.
We had such fun with all our George Easter activities, plus our wardrobes are now looking a bit more spring like with some of their new lovely clothes range. Come on please sun, we want more sunny days like this. Not snow like today. 🙃

Another little collection of memories from our Sunday...
I hope everyone is having a nice long weekend. We’ve had a lovely day today. The sun has been shining, we got to see my grandparents for the first time in so long, we spent the afternoon in their garden eating takeout pizza, hiding chocolate eggs, the kids played non stop, and then we went for a long walk as is usual at the moment 🙃. Now we are all tired out from all the fresh air and sunshine, even the dog who we took with us and isn’t used to such interaction with people let’s just say. 🤣🙃 l am hoping to get the kids to bed soon as they are tired, but mainly so I can collapse on the sofa while eating some of their chocolate eggs. 👍🏻 Hope you’ve all had a good Easter Sunday whatever you’ve been up to.

Back doing one of our happiest things. First time paddle boarding this year and it didn’t disappoint, it was so nice to get out on the river. We have all missed it.
Cannot wait to have as many paddleboarding adventures as we can over the next few months, I can’t explain how happy it makes me. Was a bit rusty though, took a while to get back into it, and we left a fin at home so could only use one of them. 🙃
The sunshine has been amazing today, although it’s going to get colder from tomorrow onwards again. Swipe left to see more of our afternoon (on one of the videos jon is on a bridge and I have to duck as I was worried I was getting too close to it, I thought I was going to bang my head 🤣). 🥰

10 years ago yesterday I published my first ever blog post. I was a first time mum to a 3 month old baby (the same one pictured here who is now a tall, chatty 10 year old- it’s a cliche but time goes so fast 🥰). I started it because I used to read American blogs and I thought it would be a nice hobby to do on maternity leave as I enjoyed taking photos and writing. Back in those days (and for many years afterwards) it was just a hobby, I remember the early days when I’d chat on Twitter to other mums about anything and everything. It became a bit of a lifeline for me as I didn’t know lots of mums with children back then. Then over the years came Instagram, you tube and all the other stuff.
If you told me 10 years ago that it would become a way I earned money and that I’d still be doing it, I’d never have believed it. Since then we’ve added two more little people and a dog to the family, moved house, I’ve learnt so many new skills as a result of doing this, and changed and grown as person too.
I am so grateful I randomly started my blog that day. Doing this (as cheesy as it sounds), has changed my life. It’s given us the most amazing opportunities, helped me find a passion for photography and video, helped me find my creative side, make friends, and above all do something I love every day.
I’ve built up such a lovely, supportive community of people who I chat to most days- the past 10 years online has been a lot of fun.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following along with my random daily snippets and for enabling me to have the opportunities to work with the brands I do. Here’s to the next 10 years 🥰😉.

I cannot believe it’s been a year since we sat and heard the words ‘you must stay at home.’ A year where so so much has happened, yet at the same time we’ve not done much at all.
Sometimes if I think about it too much I find it utterly surreal, yet at the same time we’ve almost become conditioned to being home within our four walls.
I look back to that first lockdown, when the days were warm and I find myself remembering both good times and bad. Of personal family loss and grief, yet sunny days and PE with Joe. Of long walks, of days in the garden, of wishing more than anything for a break from home school...happy moments mixed with harder ones. I hope I take with me positives I’ve learnt from this year... the main thing being family is everything and I’m very grateful that the five of us have been able to be safe at home.
There’s still such a long way to go, yet I feel there’s definitely hope in the air and the promise of happy times. I can’t wait to hug my nana in her nursing home, to see my family properly, to go to the seaside, to have friends over in the garden... it will be so worth the wait when it eventually happens.
Lots of love to you all this evening, especially to those for who this year has been unimaginably tough. And thank you to all the amazing key workers who have worked to keep us safe for an entire year. Lots of love to you all. 🤍

I am still loving drawing and I’ve been drawing some chocolate bars when I’ve been sat in the evening watching tv (as you do when there’s not much else to do at the moment, I started with a Crunchie on Friday and now it’s non stop fun 🙃). Not going to lie, I’m pretty proud of the creme egg - i reckon it takes a good few seconds to see it’s a drawing. 🤣🥰
Anyway this brings me to a serious evening debate... 🤣 What is your favourite chocolate bar? I did a little bit of ‘research’ and apparently Kit Kat is up there with being the most popular which in my opinion is absolutely a terrible choice. Is it even a chocolate bar? I’d class it as more of a biscuit.
I think if I had to say I’d say a Boost is my all time favourite, closely followed by a Cream Egg (but they are gone too quick in my opinion). I will also always love chocolate buttons if we are talking just chocolate in general. And a Crunchie always goes down a treat here too.
Also does anyone remember Cadbury Tasters? They were the absolute best, no one ever remembers them but I basically lived on them throughout my uni days. I feel they should bring them back.
So now I need to know, please tell me your favourite (not just out of these but in general)...serious questions for a Monday evening.

Another little collection of memories from our Sunday (or at least those I want to remember 🤣).
We’ve had the usual kind of day here (one day I’ll do one of these and we’ll have done something different with our day 🤣). We have had a nice day though, we went on a long walk and scoot to the next town along and sat by the river and had an ice cream and a mini picnic by the river, by that I mean we sat on a bench and ate some crackers and cheese and had a drink. 🤣 I almost felt like we were on holiday, the simple things have become such a treat haven’t they? That took up most of the morning/early afternoon, but it was so nice as it was sunny when we left but a bit cold by the end. Still went out without a coat though which I think we can all agree means spring is on the way. When we got home my mum and stepdad had left a surprise bag of donuts for us on our front door which was a good thing to come home to. We then did some painting and drawing, I painted my first ever painting on canvas which was exciting, while Jon watched the football. All in a nice but simple Sunday, not forgetting the usual squabbles too. 🙃Hope you’ve had a good one as well. 💗
