Our day - 27th June

I'm not much of a reviewer. I try and stay away from giving my opinion on products, because if I'm honest I'm a bit lousy at it!

BUT...

If you know me at all you will know I do love a bit of lippy! Usually my trademark red for nights out or a light shade of orange during the day is where I feel safe! However the (not so) better half won some high street vouchers and as one does, I decided to spend them on myself :)

Well my make-up bag is starting to look a bit unhappy!

So I invested in a new lippy! And... I went crazy!

I went for pink!

My god I feel like I've been missing out! I love it so much! I can't stop applying it.

It applies nicely in a soft stroke and stays on for hours. The only con as with most lipsticks it isn't very moisturising so I find making sure you apply a layer of lip balm first (but non oily otherwise the lipstick will just wipe straight off!)

Pucker up people!

In other news I have been meaning to get a new feature for my dining room wall for ages as we had an awful piece of metal art work hanging for ages and I hated it!

And Ta-Dah my beautiful new canvas which I have fallen in love with for the bargain price of £19 from very.co.uk

By the way I don't think the canvas is on the wonk I think it's the camera!

Just a little snap shot of Bambino today whilst having nappy off time! He is such a poser! Whenever I get my iPhone out he poses because he thinks I'm taking a photo!

Bambino finally had his 1 year check today (even though he's coming up to 15 months!) and the HV was very happy with his development which is good news but he has lost weight since the last time I got him weighed two months ago! She said it's nothing to worry about but to keep an eye on it.

The thing is Bambino loves healthy food (I know! Sometimes I worry he's not mine!) I made him pancakes for breakfast with strawberries and banana and he left the pancakes and just ate the fruit and the same if he has veg for dinner, he won't it the rest of his dinner he will just play with it!

So today I bought him a milky bar to fatten him up! Naughty mummy!

Mum. sometimes words can't express how I feel. Only a good cry and a look at you so I can see your face when I shut my eyes xxx

This past year has been the hardest one without you...

To Bambino

You started nursery today.

I didn't cry like I thought I was going to.

But I got butterfly's and my heart hurt so much I thought it was going to explode inside my body.

I missed you.

It was only a day.

I walked past a boy in his pushchair and, I missed you.

I was queueing to pay bills and, I missed you.

I was shopping for food, where you usually cry. I missed you.

I cleaned the house to busy my mind, but I still missed you.

I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, it's only one day a week.

But it just confirms how uncontrollably insanely in love with you I am.

Your my baby. Now and forever.

Diet

Every single Monday (pretty much) I start a new diet, still in hope to lose the extra stone (or two) I carry from being pregnant (and eating enough for six!) And every single Wednesday I give up! But not now Oh-no I will be strong!
Here's my inspiration

I'm sorry about the nips being out (made me blush slightly too!) But if she can look this good after having a baby so can I!

And of course my favourite Jennifer's too!

The beautiful Love Hewitt

Aniston & Lopez

Beautiful Ladieees!

Here goes willpower! Every time I crave takeaway or a chocolate bar I will remember this.

Hopefully.

Love Mummy <3

Home is where the heart is.

Home is where the heart is... But where is home?

We have moved so much in the past few years it's hard to keep up.

In fact I don't think it's just the last few years, as a child growing up we moved a fair bit too. Don't get me wrong I'm not a traveller (not that there is anything wrong with travellers, in fact I think they are brilliant. Someone pass me a shovel so I can dig myself out of this hole...)

I have lost count of the times I have moved house. Every time a house feels like home we move.

In the past 3 years we have moved house 4 times...

"Why?" i hear you ask.

Well I'm not too sure... I guess there is always something more I want, I'm never entirely satisfied. I like the excitement of moving, I like everything being up in the air and in caoss I guess... I like snooping through other peoples homes deciding whether or not I can see myself living there. I like the excitement of a new home, and I think when the excitement of a new home fades I want to move again...

And so I'm writing this post, due to the fact my 'new' home (we have lived in less than a year) is starting to bore me... I crave a garden and somewhere that will let me have a pet. So watch out rightmove! Your favourite customer is back on the prowl.

Although a tiny insy Little part of me really can't be dealing with the move again as we have gained a baby with a ridiculous cluster of toys and 'stuff'. Hmmm...

We'll see maybe give it another 6 months and let my address history get a little better first. Maybe...

Just you wait

We didn't do a great deal today.

The long weekend was a pleasure! We had daddy home for 3 days, was lovely and busy.

So we spent the day pretty much inside, It's days like this I realise how fast Bambino is growing! usually we will have breakfast, a play, get ready, a bit more playing, a nap, lunch, more playing, a little nap, dinner, more playing, bed. And usually he is a delight. Not today...

Not that he wasn't a delight, but, well... Let's just say he's growing up.

Before lunch I made a 2 minute phone call to make Bambino a appointment for the barbers and in that 2 minutes he escaped the living room, ran through the dinning room wrecking everything in his whirlwind way and disappeared out into the back yard. found a few old dirty cigarette butts and decided to chew on them as i found him! Later he managed this again even after I shut the back door :/ Later I popped to the loo and came back to fine black current squash covering our new suede sofa... Aw bless?

Rule no1. Don't leave the Bambino unattended at any moment even if you think you will only be 1 minute. He will cause some sort of havoc! 

Also he doesn't sit still anymore ever! Not even to eat dinner. How do we play when he is climbing the walls?!

Issue no 2. He refuses to have his bum changed! Not only do I have to chase him around the house, chuck him over my shoulder and pin him to the floor I also have to TRY and keep him pinned down to stop him rolling around to change his bum. Oh how I wished I had more than one pair of hands! I don't think it would be so bad if he found it funny or laughed but he screams and screams! He screams when you tell him 'No' he screams when you move him out of dangers harm, he screams when he's hungry or thirsty, he screams when you take something out of his hand he shouldn't be playing with (usually my phone) Will the tantrums ever end? 

I hate parents that pretend its all flowers and kisses. It's not! As they grow so does their attitudes, and just you wait perfect parents with your perfect well behaved babies. Your day will come! And Bambino will (fingers crossed) be an angel! And we will be quietly chuckling inside at your 'perfectness'  

So I've decided this is the last quiet day we are having until he's in school, because when we are out and about he is alot more well behaved!

God save me from terrible twos!
