My February Happy List

Hello my lovelies,

I hope you're all doing well and having a great morning/afternoon/evening, depending on when you're reading this.
I promised myself I'd write more blog posts again so here I am with a few things that have made me particularly happy this month and things that I have enjoyed.


1. Being more organised. 
I'm a lover of using a physical calendar/diary to keep track of everything I have going on, so when I got given a new calendar for Christmas I knew I was going to enjoy using it and being able to check when things are happening. I tend to forget if I add something onto my phone calendar so actually taking the time to write it down is also helpful to my memory. 

2. Taking Elliot on play dates. 
So although Elliot may not be at the age that he properly plays together with other children yet, he enjoys being around them and there are times where he'll play nicely with them, for example him and one of his cousins are almost inseparable when they're together. 

3. A year since Elliot's op.
If you didn't know Elliot had an operation at the beginning of February last year on his tummy, so when the day rolled up and it had hit that year mark it just made me happy that nothing else was the matter with him and that he had healed perfectly. (there are blog posts if you'd like to read up on it)

4. Making more Youtube videos 
Another new year resolution I set myself was to try to make at least one video a week for my Youtube channel, and so far that's going pretty well. I'd still like to be able to do more sit down videos rather than them all being vlog style but I'm getting there (I'd love it if you could subscribe!) 

5. A new baby was born! 
On the day I'm writing this blog post one of my best friends, Farleigh, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I couldn't be happier for her and her little family. I don't think she'll mind me saying but her pregnancy wasn't the smoothest ride so I'm certain she's over the moon to finally have the baby in her arms and be able to see her sweet little face. (I won't share the name as it's not my baby to share personal information on). 


Well there you go my lovely lot, my February happy list. I think I might start making this a monthly thing so expect another towards the end of March, and I'll make sure I post again soon.



Goodnight for now x

Giving the Blog Some Love

Good evening you lovely lot,

Its been far too long since I wrote anything on here, and let's be honest I don't really have an excuse. Many people work and write a blog, many mums look after their children and write a blog, so there's no reason I shouldn't have kept this blog up to date. I'm sorry for neglecting you blog, I promise to try harder with at least one blog post a month, yes I'm saying month because I always have time to do at least one, it just doesn't happen but I want to change that.

I should add blogging more to my other new years resolution which was to do more videos for my youtube channel, if you're not already subscribed then I'll leave the link for you to do so. You can always catch me over there, I've been doing one video a week so far since the start of the year and it seems to be working. To go with that I want to find something to write about each month, even if it's just what I've been enjoying that month, I promise to write at least once a month along with my videos. I'm aiming to get back into what I enjoyed before Elliot was born and not become 'just mum', I want to feel like me as well as a mum, if that makes sense, it does to me and maybe if any of you readers are mums you might just understand.

For tonight I'll leave you with the promise that I'll be back with a new post soon, and search for me on youtube, Lily, Camera, Action and come along on my vlogging days for lots of mummy life adventures.


For tonight my lovelies, thanks for reading :) x
