A little update, where I've been?

What's happened since my last post

Little lady relaxing in our garden. I love this picnic blanket from Sainsbury - so pretty! 

Hi, it's me again... I honestly think I'm going to have to stop promising a more regular uploading schedule, I've been awful at sticking to it; so I may as well avoid making any definite "I'll upload this day, or this frequently.." kind of promises on my blog. I just can't seem to find the time, juggling being a full time mummy, pregnant, running errands and keeping our house organised; my blog doesn't really slot in to well being honest, what tends to happen is I'll write a post whilst little lady naps, I'll be on a roll and then decide - oohhh there's an episode of Geordie shore, or one born every minute that I need to catch up on and then boom, my typing streak ends and then that post ends up in my drafts for probably the rest of eternity? But, I can't complain I love how busy I am nowadays, having cuddles, playtime, snacks and all that comes with being a mummy, I wouldn't change it for the world, so as for now my blog is a place where I write, update, upload when I can... and I hope you don't mind to much? I'm sure you other mummies understand... I'm trying to soak up every moment with Evangeline, she's almost 1 and I'll blink and she'll be in school and the baby in my tummy in nursery - time just shoots by!! But the promise I will make is I will try and upload as often as I can. 

The last 2 posts I've written have been a Q&A and a little pregnancy update - which I uploaded as I'm typing this, although this post probably won't be live for a few more weeks haha! - I was right, I'm back working on this post over 2 weeks after I initially started it haha! better late than never? At least this one hasn't been abandoned in my drafts haha!

Evangeline's first birthday is in 26 days, maybe less if I upload this later than todays haha; her birthday is on Friday 7th July 2017 - I can't believe how quickly it's approaching, in just under a month we'll have a 1 year old... I'm so stinking excited to celebrate her birthday, I've been organising her party since October, so like... 8-9 months I want it to be perfect! Everything that comes along with the preparation seems to be going well, invites have been sent, decorations all bought, outfits sorted, we have presents too I think 15 so far? We still want to buy her some more, I know some people will think thats more than enough and that buying her more is silly but its not as if we've bought them all at once, and we want to spoil our little princess on her birthday... to us thats more than acceptable - so sorry if you disagree. But anyway moving on, a majority of her party is sorted we just need to contact our chosen cake maker a few weeks before to arrange what time and date we are collecting her cake (we've already discussed designs and set that they will be making it - hopefully that makes sense?) The only thing I'm not to sure on is party bags, as other babies are coming along, do I need party bags? if so, what on earth do I put in them?! Haha, I'm sure I'll figure it out? 

So I'm over half way through my pregnancy with our second princess or baby no.2 - this pregnancy feels although its flying by, I feel although I only found out last month!? I'm excited to meet her in October once she's finished 'cooking' if you will. We've decided on a name for her now, but we won't be announcing that until her arrival so you'll just have to wait until October haha! 

We're finishing decorating Evangeline's bedroom/decor so she may be moving into her own room this month, it's going to be so odd her sleeping in her own bedroom, but I guess I'll have to let her sleep in her own room one day! or perhaps I'll sleep in there to? haha! I gave Zachary the task of making her a chest of drawers as I couldn't find any I like - the ones she currently have are from Ikea, but I wanted them to match the theme of her bedroom, so Zachary has taken the challenge on; and there almost finished!! I asked my dad to make her a toybox for her room and he has, its lovely, it even has a floral heart on, but rather than waffling about her room in this post - perhaps I'll do an uploaded nursery tour... I posted one a little while back, so if I remember to I'll add in the link! 

We're still on the hunt for the perfect duo pram, we're torn between the 'Bugaboo Donkey' and the 'Silver Cross Wave' I think thats the names haha! I  love them both, theres just different things I prefer in both prams and of course different things that I dislike to...who would've thought finding a pram would be so tricky haha! Again, much like everything once we've settled on one, I'll most likely so a post relating to it, why we chose it, all the features, prices and maybe our thoughts so far...... thats if we ever settle haha! 

The weather has been bliss here recently, only a few rainy days scattered here and there but overall its really starting to feel like summer. I'm sat typing this with an ice cold smoothie, perched on our bed, fan blowing, Evangeline fast asleep in her cot (we've just returned from a 1st birthday party, so she's a little worn out bless her), and talking about the chest of drawers - Zachary is out in the garden painting them in the sunshine; I think we're heading out for a walk down the beach soon, then home for a grilled chicken salad! There's quite a bit happening towards the end of this month so there may be another post, as I said I won't make any promises but I'm hoping to squeeze in another post before our little pickles birthday - so I guess we'll just have to wait and see?

Thank you for reading my little update - until next time lovelies, Cya! xo
