An amazing place called Stanwick lakes.

Hello, thought I'd write a quick post about a beautiful park we found out about a few weeks ago. It's only an hour away from us, wish we knew about it years ago.

Stanwick lakes in Northamptonshire, it's stunning and so much to do with the kiddies, there is the playground which has a rustic wooden design, with sand to play in and water to play with, the views are stunning lakes and bunnies hopping around, then there is an adventure trail and a assault course too as well as an inside area if it rains or to keep out of the sun. There is a cafe as well as a refreshment hut. There is a discovery centre (we didn't look in there) and also a place to hire bikes so you can have a cycle as a family around the lakes. It was so beautiful having a little walk in the sunshine and we will be going back to explore and play more again soon.

Here are some photos I took and a link to their website, if you don't live too far away (1hr or so) I promise it'll be worth the trip.

Not many photos as they all have my Children in, but here is the link to their website.

If you get to visit here I would love to hear what you think and what you did on your day out.

Thank you for reading

Ta ta, for now

Blogtober #4

Giving birth to a huge baby. Day 4 of Blogtober I thought in today's post I would write about the birth of my youngest child (now 10 years old) Isabella, she was a hefty weight, not at all your average baby weight, although I have heard of much bigger babies being born (my eyes sting at that thought) so here is my story of how my beautiful little girl entered the world. Before I begin, I would like to say that I kept telling midwives I was carrying an elephant inside me, they would say she is only going to be about 1 lb bigger than my older two children's birth weights (8lb 6oz & 8lb 7oz) I had SPD (where the ligaments over stretch in the pelvis, causing a lot of pain) I was depressed as I could hardly do anything, the pain was immense, I used to cry whenever I needed to get up out of my bed to go to the loo, (which was often, babies like using our bladder as a trampoline) I would literally crawl to the bathroom, the midwives just said they couldn't ...

Blogtober #5

Harvest festival. Today I was inspired to write this post, as tomorrow Isabella's (Daughter) school is having a harvest festival assembly, so I was inspired to talk to you about food banks. Food banks are so essential for so many people, more than you could imagine have to use them, people who you would assume would have a good wage coming in from their jobs like Nurses for instance, so many Nurses are struggling to make ends meet, it is so heartbreaking that such kind, caring and selfless people like Nurses are struggling as much as they do, also hard working families who are working so much to the point of exhaustion, yet sadly struggle to get by once bills are paid, parents going hungry to make sure their children get a meal, its a desperate time for a lot of people, and not just around harvest festival and Christmas time, this is every day of every week. This is where you, me and anyone else out there can help, there are so many food bank collections out ther...

Nail art.

Nail art, I love, love pretty nails. Oh how I love a pretty manicure, sadly my budget doesn't stretch to a pro to do it so I do it myself. Sometimes its a hit but often its an epic fail, but practice makes perfect as they say, right? so here is a some that I took photos of. Most of the fails I just removed and tried, tried and tried again (yep many big fails) I get inspired by nails I see on instagram and YouTube but many of those were just huge fails for me, next time I shall show you exactly how much of a fail by posting a photo or two. Christmas Gingerbread Men Nails. I loved these cute little Gingerbread Men, I bought them off ebay they are water transfer nail decals. so cute! My nails are painted with a red gel polish by Sensationail which was a gift and cured in a UV lamp with a glitter top coat. The gold nails are a gel polish by Bluesky and I bought it off ebay (ebay is amazing) and added the gingerbread men and glitter topcoat which is also by Bluesky and ...
