This day I love.......

My youngest got her first Valentine's day card today from a boy at school she calls her boyfriend.  She has already asked me on several occasions how old she needs to be before she can get married, and tells me every night that she loves him and misses him.  When he gave her the card this morning her eyes lit up, and she said 'He loves me too'.  Love is such a powerful emotion, even when you are 4 years old.

Valentine's day, in my opinion, should be a day which we not only spend with the people we love but should be a day in which we share the love.  A day for showing people we care and a day we make time for others.  No one should be alone on Valentine's day, I am not talking about in a relationship I simply mean alone and we should #ShareTheLove

The girls wanted to show their love for their Grandparents this weekend, as Valentine's day fell on a school day and so they decided to take them out for lunch.  I could not think of anything more perfect for Valentine's than spending it eating cake with the people I love.


My youngest forgot she had to wait for her lunch before eating her cake and promptly got stuck in.  Her love for cake and all things sweet clearly showed.


My love for cake is not too far behind.  I simply could not resist this lemon meringue 


Little Man was incredibly happy as he got to spend an afternoon with his favourite person, his Grandad.  He absolutely loves his Grandad and is the happiest when they are together.  I think if you could ask him who he wants to spend Valentine's with it would certainly be his Grandad.  


In all honesty I cannot think of a better way to spend Valentine's day than surrounded by the people you love and who love you, and of course with lots of cake.  Even if it is impossible to get a decent picture of us all together!


 This Valentine's day make sure you #ShareTheLove even if you don't want to share your cake.

I love watching the bond grow between my daughters and their Grandparents.  Bot girls love spending time with them and ask every morning and every night if we are going to play with Grandma and Grandad.  

One evening last week we called in to see them on our way home.  The girls were very excited, my eldest wanted to drive her car and after a drive she went fruit picking with Grandad.  They worked together to find the blackberries and to reach them together.

They filled the pan with blackberries and headed back inside to make a crumble.  She is already asking when she can go back to pick more with her Grandad.

Phew I made it through my first week back at work, and yes it was tough.  I have cried and spent most of the week missing the girls but now its the weekend and I can spend two whole days with them.  I am looking forward to it!  I am going to make every second count.

My girls are with their Grandma today and I feel a lot more at ease when they are there.  I find it easier to concentrate and get work things done.  I still miss them but its a lot easier.  I feel ever so lucky that the girls have such a close bond with my Mum and my Dad and that they are able to help look after them when I am at work.

I also had some good news today and that is that I have paid of my student loan, in fact I have overpaid it and am due some money back.  It is a great relief to have finally paid it off.  I set myself a target of paying it off by the time I was 30 and its great to have achieved it.

I am awaiting my girls coming home from my parents house and I cannot wait for a cuddle to mark the end of the first week back at work.

We visited my parents today.  My eldest has asked all week to visit Grandma but with my Mum working full time it has not been possible.  She really loves her Grandparents and I love watching them play together.

I have not put a bib on my eldest for over a year now as she would only ever take them off or food would go every where but the bib so I figured it was an unnecessary thing to be putting on her.  Whilst playing today she went and got herself a bib from the cupboard and put it on.  She decided however to wear it like this

I am guessing it all made sense to her put I have no idea why she wanted to wear it like that.  As the girls were playing together they came across some pot-pourri.  My eldest kept picking it up to sniff it and my youngest did this

It seems to be one of those days where whatever my girls find they have to put it on their heads.

This day I love putting things on my head
