Visit Orlando

We have a long term relationship with Visit Orlando which couldn’t be a more perfect fit as Orlando is one of our favourite places in the entire world. We have been four times now, three times with Visit Orlando and in turn we create and promote Orlando and Visit Orlando across all our channels.

We also write regularly for the Visit Orlando official blog (after trips) and have managed to secure a double page spread in Family Traveller Magazine as well which Visit Orlando were delighted with.

Pool party. Also our mate came along, we tried to stop him but I don’t think dinosaurs care about social distancing. There’s always one that gets a bit lairy after a bit of sunshine and a few beers.🦖🦖🦖
(It’s been a lovely day in the sun, just what we all needed. The kids got given this paddling pool last year as a present, and then we had bad weather and they forgot about it. We got it out today as a surprise and they’ve loved it so much). Hope you all have had a nice day and the sun has been shining where you are.

When your dad comes back from the food shop with a surprise box of donuts. I’ve never seen them move and sit at the table so quickly. 😆 Hope you are all doing ok today. 🤍

Ad | Cheers! Enjoying the sunshine a lot at the moment, it makes it feel so much better being able to get some fresh air, either on a walk or in the garden. I actually love this set of photos, think I am going to print out a couple of them and send them to family- everyone is smiling and looking at the camera which is a bonus, and I think they might appreciate a little card through the post while we can’t see them. You might have seen that I have been working with @georgeatasda recently. They have a really fun weekend planned over on their instagram account- because people can’t go to festivals this year, they are bringing the festival to home. There is going to be live performances, dj sets, competitions and giveaways, mocktail making, flower crown tutorials etc. It sounds great fun. Plus we are loving the clothes, Maddie loves the little red Bardot top, and I am obsessed with the animal print sandals, I had been looking for a pair just like it.
If you head over to their instagram page you will find all the details on the George Festival At Home. PS I also wanted to say thank you to George again as they really are the loveliest team to work with. #WeAreHome #GeorgeFFH

I decided to get up early today and went downstair

I decided to get up early today and went downstairs on my own. We’ve all got into a bit of a habit of sleeping in more (when I say sleeping in, Maddie is up early always, but the rest of us have been dozing till 8/8.30 usually). It’s good to let them sleep as they’ve all been going to bed later, a combination of no lockdown routine and also lighter evenings. But then I’ve been finding the mornings feel a bit intense as we go straight into home school as we normally do it in the mornings to get it out the way. I end up lying in bed letting them sleep, then we sort of get up and rush around, getting breakfast, sorting the dog out, tidying up from the mess they’ve inevitably made, printing out any worksheets for school, and it feels a bit frantic and intense when it doesn’t really need to feel frantic at all.
I’ve been feeling quite sluggish recently. I’ve not been sleeping well at all, and while I am managing to get out and exercise on my own every couple of days, either running or a bike ride, I just generally feel like under the surface there is just this bubble of intensity inside me. Not sure if anyone gets what I mean?!, I’m not good at explaining it.
So I’ve decided I’m going to try to go to bed earlier in the evening (I stay up far too late just to have time to myself away from the demands of three children 😆) and then I’m going to get up a couple of hours earlier than everyone else, and come downstairs and just be on my own.
Whether I just sit there with a drink and relax, or whether I tidy up a bit (that’s what I did today), or whether I go for a run, or do an at home workout, or even a bit of work, I’m hoping that the hour or so to myself might help my mind a little more. Just to have some time to have my own thoughts. I also want to try yoga, I’ve dipped in and out of it before, but that’s something that might be good at the moment to bring a little structure to the start of my day. If anyone knows any good beginner you tube videos I’d love to hear them (I know about yoga with Adrienne already).
My time to myself has already made a difference to my mood this morning. Hope you all have a good day and are feeling ok.

We went on a mini picnic today. Can’t think of any other words for my caption tonight. But it was nice to get out the house for a bit. ❤️ Hope you are all doing ok.

My lovely grandpa sadly got poorly at the start of

My lovely grandpa sadly got poorly at the start of last week and passed away on Thursday afternoon. I’ve talked about all my grandparents a lot on here over the years I’ve been online, and I know a lot of people enjoyed hearing about them. It’s been hard during this already strange time. That’s probably the hardest part really. The waiting, the not being able to say goodbye, to be able to see and support my nana, or give my lovely sensitive dad a hug due to the lockdown restrictions. The care home staff have been so kind though, one of the senior care workers sat in a chair next to him all night one night so he wouldn’t be alone long after her shift finished. On Thursday she held his hand. We will be forever grateful for such kindness.
He led a very wonderful and enriched life. He served in the war, had my dad and his brother, had four grandchildren, and four great grandchildren, and loved my Nana for over 70 years. 70 years is such a long time and they loved each so very dearly right up until the end.
The circle of life is inevitable, but it’s still sad to have had him in our lives for so long, and to know we won’t see him again. We’ve been so lucky to have more time with him than most, but I guess that also means there’s more memories with him to miss, yet also treasure.
It’s been a privilege letting our children get to know him and I can’t explain how grateful I am for that. I’m so glad I took all the many many photos and all the videos, even though every time my family moaned when I made them take them. 😆 We will treasure every single one.
I’m a very sensitive soul and my heart is aching, we will all miss him a lot.
I know there are so many other families going through the same thing and I send my love to all of them too. 🤍

Ad| This is one of those photos that makes your eyes go funny if you look at it too long. I love making these. But it’s an accurate representation of teeth brushing in our house. Lottie pretty much gets on with it but you still need to supervise her, whereas Wren needs a bit more encouragement. Even though it’s something you do every day, twice a day, he still acts
like it’s a surprise that we have to do it. 😆 I’ve really enjoyed working with @aquafreshuk over the last couple of months. We’ve used Aquafresh products ever since Maddie was a baby, in fact I remember my mum using them years ago too. Their Brush Time app has been brilliant for encouraging the younger two to brush their teeth. I thought originally it might have been a bit gimmicky but we use it every single day - the songs are really catchy and it motivates them to brush for the whole two minutes. It’s free to download, and has definitely helped our brushing routine. #brushtimefuntime

This pup turned 6 months old a couple of days ago.

This pup turned 6 months old a couple of days ago. We had a low key party for him, with family and friends in attendance via FaceTime, and all his favourite treats.* We all love him so much, even though he’s so naughty and messy and destroys anything he can get his hands on. I look at all the other dogs on Instagram, or out and about on walks, and they all seem so well behaved. Rolo rarely keeps still enough for me to take a photo of him, he’s absolutely full on, is the biggest, bounciest ball of energy, and definitely needs training better as he literally doesn’t give a crap when you tell him not to do something. He looks at you and carries on. Just before puppy classes had to stop because we went into lockdown, his trainer said I had my work cut out cause he thinks he’s the boss. He’s definitely full on, but we wouldn’t change him for the world. 🤍 The children adore him so much, I love this photo. *We didn’t really have a party, I didn’t even realise he’d turned 6 months till I looked at the date just now. 😆
