T H R E E 🥳 What a handsome little birthday boy! We had an amazing day yesterday. We opened presents, made breakfast, went to a maze and enchanted forest, pub lunch then back home for a movie, toy set-up and little tea party with the nearest and dearest. Perfect. I tried not to dwell on how fast he is growing but 💔😫 I think it's a mother's prerogative (who knew it was spelt like that?! Thanks Google). Now we're looking forward to a nice chilled weekend soaking up all the time we have together before nursery starts next year (much to both our disapproval) 😁

A G E I N G 👵 I don't necessarily think that ageing makes us older, maturer. I think it's mentally where you are at in life. I am happy, I have a family and though I want to expand and have more I have something that makes me happier than anything else. When we are searching for what we want in life (often, but not always, when we are younger), when we don't know which direction we're headed we can be 'free' and open to anything. I know I often feel 'old' in the sense that I am where I want to be. I am comfortable in my skin. I am happy in my life. I am grateful. I am mature. I am a mother. I am fulfilled. I have friends/family quite a few years older than me but I see them as much younger. They are still searching for their place or searching again for a new place. There's nothing wrong with that, at all. However I feel much older than my years, I don't consider myself a 'young mum'. Maybe it's just being settled. I was lucky enough to find a partner to love and cherish, who feels the same way about me but, sometimes more importantly, is on the same page. For that I am extremely lucky and grateful. I don't know where I'm going with this really, whatever stage you're at in life is fine! Whatever age you chose to do what it is you need to do to be comfortable, age is really just a number. Maturity and feeling settled/fulfilled with life can come at any moment 🕊️

F A M I L Y 👨‍👩‍👦 It's all it whittles down to really. Happy Sunday folks. If you do one thing today take a step back, practice gratitude and he thankful for what you have. Sometimes we get wrapped up in taking life too seriously, we shout at our kids, we prioritize chores, we NEVER have enough time. Think about what really matters today and put that first. Making loved ones smiles is on the top of my list today 💕

S T U F F 💁🏼‍♀️ I was going to crop all the un-instagrammy stuff out of this photo but hey ho. Everyone has stuff! I opted for showing you my whole outfit instead... It is #mumstylesaturday after all. Boots @marksandspencer Jeans Brand new charity shop find @hm Jumper @hm Hair - a lot of dry shampoo. We're going swimming shortly! Join in with Cassie @mamas_little_squares 😘

B A K I N G 🍪 (something I won't be doing for his birthday next week)! Last year I tried but ended up buying due to failure - I just don't have the knack for cakes. We do love cooking and baking together though, I find it helps get him more interested in food and new ingredients. He sometimes just nibbles on things or is more willing to try if he made it! A good activity for when the weather's not so great!

M A Y B E . . . 🙄 If there's one thing I've learnt this year it is to be more strong willed. I am such a people pleaser yet it doesn't always make me feel good. I become filled with anxiety and worry, have I done a good enough job? I don't feel comfortable doing this. Will they be mad if I change my mind? Sometimes you just need to say no. Sorry but I really can't right now. You don't need an explanation, ultimately you should put yourself first if it going to cause you discomfort 🥰

H A P P Y ☺️ Ahh how I wish we could pause at this stage forever. It's this one's birthday next week, yep I'm going to have a 3 year old. How did that happen? I swear he was only born a few months ago 😅 He told me the other day that he doesn't want to get any bigger and the feeling is mutual. He's at such a lovely stage now, don't get me wrong he's a little monkey but we're so close at the moment and it's so enjoyable. I'm going to cling on to all the cuddles and hand holding I can! On the other hand though it's amazing watching him learn and grow into his own little person. He is amazing. I'm so proud and can't wait to watch him grow up. Birthday's are always so emotional and contradictory 🤯🥳

C H E E R S 🎃 Happy Halloween guys! So this one vomited all over the place yesterday and also screamed blue murder last time we tried his costume on. Not good odds for enjoyable trick or treating, wish me luck! 🤞Hope you all have lovely, tantrum free Halloween's! 👻

S E A 🌊 Ahh we have a bad case of the holiday blues over here. I was truly disappointed when I found out we where going on holiday to the sea but no beach!? Let alone in the same country - that was 2 years ago and now I have completely fallen in love with this little place down in Devon. It's such a beautiful part of the world, we forgot all our worries and just enjoyed being a family and splashing out on whatever we wanted. Back to reality, work, money, life. But I really appreciate the time and it fills my heart so 💖
