Giving Blood - an update

Just stopping by to share a text I received this week to let me know that the blood I donation on Good Friday was issued to St Mary's Hospital in London - I feel really amazing that my blood has been used to help someone else!

Five on a Friday {Easter Edition}

Happy Good Friday everyone! Hope you have some amazing plans over the long Easter weekend - we have been preparing for Easter and doing lots of fun things already this week!

ONE - I packed away the pine cones and autumn/winter candles and decorated with gorgeous pastel spring colours for Easter!

TWO - The kids had a fantastic time at Marsh Farm which is a local animal park - feeding the animals, going on the rides and the easter egg hunt was a big hit!

 

THREE - Our local garden centre had a Mad Hatter's Tea Party - the kids had a great time painting the roses red, playing flamingo croquet with the queen of hearts, an easter egg hunt with alice in wonderland characters followed by a yummy tea party!

FOUR - Zack and I went with some of his friends from school to Nevendon Manor for the Wizard of Oz - Finding Toto event - during this amazing event the kids go with Dorothy through different scenes telling the story of the Wizard of Oz - it truly is a magical event and the kids were completely in a world of make believe!

FIVE - This morning I have blood for the first time, I was really nervous but everyone was so lovely and the donation only took a few minutes - It got me thinking that on Good Friday Jesus gave his blood for our lives and today I donated blood which will hopefully used to save someone life.

Mother's Day {2016}

I had the most amazing Mother's Day this year!

I was was woken up in the morning by these 2 cheeky monkeys excited to give me their presents.

The boys made the most beautiful cards at school

Zack's school had a Mother's Day shop - its such a fantastic idea you give the children a few pound and they can choose their own gift for their mums - Melts my heart that he choose this for me!

More lovely gifts - my favourite flowers - Tulips, mini bottle of champagne and chocolates!

I enjoyed a delicious mimosa breakfast 

The weather was so lovely we spend most of the day hanging out in the garden - after bath time I snuggled down with my boys and  watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast which is one of my favourite movies 

I hope you all had an amazing Mother's Day as well
