This day I love.......

Friday 13th is the day I normally go into hibernation.  Not from superstition just from past experience it seems to always be a really unlucky day for me.  Little Man was spending the day with his Grandma and Grandad and I was spending my hibernation getting a few jobs done.  I even managed to fit in a run on the treadmill, followed by an uninterrupted lunch.  

I had finished my jobs and sat down at the computer ready to tackle my to do list for the blog when the doorbell went.  I had no idea what the parcel was and felt there was a mistake when I saw the contents inside, until this appeared on social media

Blog award

Over the past year we have worked with Nuby as one of their brand ambassadors.  I feature their teethers in my teething guide and their bottles and dummy in my colic essentials post.  We were among the first to try the steriliser and dryer which is one of the most used pieces of equipment we own.  I even put together a short video of a day in the life with some of our favourite Nuby products.  We have not had a single item sent that we don't still use or that has not been useful and we are so grateful to have worked with Nuby in 2016.


I am absolutely overwhelmed and speechless.  To be given an award by a brand you genuinely love, is such an amazing feeling.  To have all the hard work and hours put into posts/photos/videos recognised is incredibly humbling and I have been left speechless.

For the first time that I can remember something really amazing happened on Friday 13th, and a moment I will remember for the rest of my life.  I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year holds.

This day I love the day with the unexpected positive.

Last night was a bad night, the girls were up until gone 11. Running around, screaming, fighting and generally making noise.  The dogs kept barking from all the commotion upstairs and Little Man just could not settle.  I knew we had an early start today in order to make parkrun and had resigned myself to a generally rubbish day with tired and cranky kids.  How wrong could I have been.

After park run, which my eldest daughter finished 2nd in her age category, we had a very important place to be.  The girls completed the reading challenge over the school holidays and were presented with a medal and certificate from the Mayor.  


The zebra, in case you wanted to know, is her class mascot.  She had been presented with it for getting star of the week in her class.  Her teacher said 'she had been simply amazing!' and also for doing good work in maths.  Another proud moment!

The day just got better and not to be out done by his sisters Little Man decided to get in on the action.



Only he was not content with just sitting and decided he might also like to go for a crawl too!



What a simply amazing day!!

This day I love ever so proud

At my daughters school they have a star of the day every day.  My eldest daughter role plays this at home and a variety of her toys or the dogs get award the star of the day.  Occasionally she gives it to her sister.  She has had the star of the day 6 times so far, on the days when she doesn't get it the first words she says to me at pick up is 'I didn't get star of the day today' followed by a huge sigh.

She came out all Skippy and happy today and was so pleased to show me her star of the day certificate.  We had a very happy walk home.

My daughters happiness continued into her gymnastics lesson.  She attempted cart wheels and backwards rolls.  I am noticing a real improvement today in her strength and ability.  It would appear her teachers also have noticed an improvement as she was awarded her badge today.

Apologies for the blurry photo, I had to crop out the other children from the image which resulted in a slight distortion. 

My eldest daughter has had such a wonderful day today and I am so proud of her

This day I love my little star
