Slice Of My Life - March 24
A positive month filled with family time, easter activities and fresh starts. I can feel myself breaking myself away from hermit season and ready to embrace spring and summer.
Time with family
I am so glad I have had the opportunity to spend lots of weekends with family this month. Sometimes weeks can pass us by and before we know it we haven’t caught up with family members for months. I have started to look at my monthly and weekly routines and trying to prioritise time with family even if it’s just popping round for a cup of tea.
My First Mothers Day
My mum arranged a lovely dinner at her house for mother’s day. We celebrated with my sister who has also recently become a mum. It was so wholesome and I sat snuggled on the sofa at my Mum’s and it was just like old times. It was nice to spend an afternoon with no time constraints or plans and just have a little natter over a cup of tea.
My Ray of Sunshine
Evan has really started to have his own personality now and it’s so lovely to see. I love his cheeky smile and learning what makes him laugh and giggle. He is loving getting involved in anything I am doing, whether it's making tea, cleaning or doing arts and crafts.
Mum Life
I have truly embraced mum life this last few weeks and learning to balance my own time with Evan’s time. It has helped making sure I am well rested and have filled my own cup before I then try to juggle all the activities that come with being a mum. We have started getting into our own little routines now such as going for walks, going to church and me having a night to myself at art class. It’s taken a while but I am starting to feel like I have kind of got the hang of this!
Easter
This may have been my favourite day of the year so far! We spent it doing arts and crafts, dressing up as easter chicks and finishing the day with some baking. Mum and Heidi came over and we laughed so much again, just like old times. When I got in bed that evening I felt so content and positive and I can’t wait to arrange days like this again.
Days Out
One thing I have had to really push myself into doing is spending days out with friends. (and not feeling guilty about it!) I’ve been working on updating my wardrobe so lots of shopping trips have been in order. I tried the new EL&N in Birmingham which was a lovely treat and well worth the visit.
