This day I love.......

My eldest daughter asks every morning if she can go for a run.  I love this in her and that she wants to be active and be outdoors.  Her face lit up when I told her we were off for a run this morning and she quickly got ready.  

We proceeded to a local park for the colour run.  Both girls were very excited as they spotted the mascots from various sports team walking round.  The mascots kicked off the colour run with a mascot race, which was rather comical.  Thankfully ParaTed was on scene. 


It was then time to enter the colour pit, which the girls loved.


Both girls then wanted to throw some paint, so I stood and braced myself as they threw orange paint at me

It was time for the run.  I followed the 5K course whilst the girls and their Dad did a fun run in the park, which also involved stopping off at the swings and throwing paint!

The colour run was great fun which the girls loved, they thought it was really funny when we called at the supermarket with me looking like this.

I decided to create a quick video of the day using the RealTimes app.  I met the team from RealTimes at Britmums Live and have been looking for an excuse to try out the app.  RealTImes offers photo and video storage and the ability to create stories and albums.  I have even entered this video into their Ultimate family moments competition, as this is the perfect way to remember a wonderful day out with the family and the girls asking to do more running!


This day I love a colourful Sunday

I haven't written our Christmas post up as I wanted to do something special.  My eldest daughter was given a camera for Christmas last year and she simply loves taking photos.  She seeks every opportunity to take a photo, either with my phone, tablet or her own camera.  I thought it would be nice to record her memories of Christmas 2014.

 I'm going to be honest why I say I never really got Christmas.  I never really have.  Two years ago something changed and I realised what Christmas was all about.  We got up that morning and the girls came eagerly downstairs.  They opened the doors and saw their presents from Father Christmas.  

My eldest had just got the concept of Father Christmas and was excited that he had bought her presents.  It was my youngest first Christmas and she was so excited by all the bright paper and toys.  Our dog, J, was excited by everything going off. It was magical.


The air was full of magic and excitement.  My eldest was running around with excitement and my youngest was crawling.  She was in all the paper and the dog was chasing the paper too.  There was lots of laughing and giggling.  Everyone was having fun, including J.  Watching the girls and J have so much fun is the moment I realised what Christmas was all about.  It was this moment.  This was my favourite Christmas experience.

I would love to be able to take the girls to experience the magic of Lapland and am writing this post for a competition by Transun to be in with a chance of winning this amazing holiday.  You can see all the entries by following #TransunXmas on twitter.  Wish me luck.

There are certain moments in time that stay with you forever.  Some you cherish like the first time your child says Mama or the time you see those two pink lines and others you would rather forget.  A moment in time is one which can change in an instant. All is fine and well one moment and the next everything changes.  There are times when some moments you feel so down that the world seems such a dark place but in an instant it all changes when something just makes you smile.

Moments are such funny things, hard to explain and some easy to forget.  Capturing moments can be tricky too, how many of us have the actual footage of the very first time our child took their first steps?  Its a moment often taken by surprise.

I captured a very special moment today between my girls.  I don't know how, guess just in the right place at the right time.  Its an image that although not technically perfect is an image I love and a moment of love between my daughters.

We were sat waiting for our Baby Sing and Sign class to start both girls sat waiting excited on the carpet beside me, and this happened:

a moment between sisters

I do not know what was said between them, or what they did but they both just started laughing.  A special moment between two sisters that only they understand.  A clear sign that a bond is forming between them, a moment of love and happiness.

This day I love moments.
