Loving the little things - 2/52 - #littleloves


It's that time of the week, it's time to link up with one of my favourite linkies, Little Loves. Here are my little loves for the past week.


Read - No books for me this week but I am itching to get my nose stuck into a good story. I'm really struggling to find the time as I stay up way too late blogging as it is. Why aren't there more hours in the day?
I have been having my reading fix through my favourite blogs though and a post that really reached out to me this week was this post from Emma over at Me, The Man and the Baby. I hope she finds some answers soon but while she waits she should take comfort in knowing that D couldn't of asked for better parents, they are amazing.




Watched - I'm still totally hooked on Justified which is a drama set in southern America. How can you not love a southern accent, wannabe cowboys and Timothy Olyphant? I have almost caught up and at the end of season five so I will be up to date when the final series starts at the end of January. Don't you just hate it when you discover a new show, become addicted, have numerous marathons and then realise it's on it's last season. It happens to me all the time. (One of the lead actresses on the show actually fav'd one of my tweets on twitter this week - amazing that cast members actually search their show and read the tweets!)

Wore - I've had a pretty lazy week as it's been far too cold to venture outside very often. I've been taking advantage of being able to lounge around not only in my comfy oversize jumpers and jeggings but in a pair of Nick's PJ's that he was bought for Christmas. I received a pair myself but naturally his are comfier and well he isn't going to wear them! What's yours is mine and what mine is my own and all that jazz! Ha ha. 

Heard - Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake. Noah learnt a new word and is obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. If I dare watch anything else on TV he will find the remote and point it into my face until I turn it back on for him. I swear I am having nightmares of that theme tune.. 

"Just off the shores of Neverland a hideaway at sea! Yo ho! Yo ho! Lets go!"



Made - Art! Well Noah did, sort of. Noah has only ever used paints once before so when I spotted his finger paints in one of the boxes from the move I just had to get them out. He wasn't too keen on getting the paint on his hands and did grimace a lot so I had to encourage him, He did loosen up a bit eventually and I shot a video of him having a good old chat about his painting, pointing at all the blobs and smears. He did have more fun trying to wipe the paint off his tray with the paper though to be honest. We are going to make more time for messy play that's for sure. 


And lastly - I gave the blog a makeover! Did you notice? Do you like it? I was tired of the old design and wanted a more basic yet professional looking theme. I'm really happy with it considering I did it myself and I had no clue what I was doing!

Well, that's it for now, see you next week!  




Loving the little things - 1/52 - #littleloves


I am always seeing people taking part in numerous linkies throughout the year and it's always something I've wanted to be involved in. This year I am going to attempt to take part in a couple different linkies every week and see how I get on.

Today I stumbled across a linky called #littleloves and it's brought to you by Morgana over at But Why Mummy Why. It sounds like lots of fun so here are my first set of #littleloves for the first week of the year.

Read - I used to be such a book worm but since becoming a Mum I rarely get the chance now. I read more blogs than books and my favourite posts this week are from Alex who writes Bump to Baby. She has just started sharing her pregnancy journey with us all and it's so exciting! 




Watched - I am absolutely obsessed with American TV shows and I enjoy nothing more than getting stuck into a new series. Over the Christmas period I started watching a show called Justified and I am hooked. I am on season 5 already and I cannot get enough of Timothy Olyphant.

Wore - Big thick jumpers, leggings and ugg boots, every day. Nothing like a big thick jumper when it's so cold and as I've put on weight they are also something to hide underneath too. 


Heard - Noah's voice. He's always been a chatterbox but mainly babbling and baby language with the odd Dada and Mama throw into the mix. Lately, he is really trying to repeat the words you say and he's certainly added more words to his vocabulary this week which are Jake and Mickey. You can't tell what TV channel he watches, can you? Ha ha.





Made - Numerous roast dinners! We love our roast dinners in this house and it's one of Noah's favourite meals! The photo is of Noah's plate and believes it or not he pretty much ate the entire thing. He likes everything on there but his favourite is probably the parsnips and stuffing.

And Lasty - I don't know what day it is! Nick has been off for work over Christmas and all the days have blurred into one! Noah was a little confused at first with why Daddy was at home with us but he's really enjoyed it. Nick has two more days off now and then it back to work for him, back to reality!
