pregnancy weight loss stalled | First day at Pre School

pregnancy weight loss stalled

On Wednesday afternoon I took my little baby to pre-school for the very first time.  My little baby who is actually nearly three.  Normally, I have some funny incident or observation to blog, but as we both made our way from the car to pre-school my heart felt very full. Surprisingly, I didnt feel sad. I felt so immensely proud of this amazing little person stood next to me and swinging her Frozen bag and marching to the pre-school gates (I had tried to coax her towards choosing another bag seeing as though all 20 pre-school children will probably have the same, but never mind).

She settled really well, and as I returned to an empty house, I thought I might shed a tear. But I didnt. I had only that morning finished reading Gretchen Rubins Happier At Home.  Her closing chapter is on the passage of time and how we always tend to assume that in the future we will be happier, when in fact when we look back through the years, we yearn for those moments past. Here and right now are the happy days.  So, with that in mind, I didnt mourn for my little baby.  I didnt feel sad about the long days past that I used to sit feeding her (OK, maybe I did a little bit). I instead tried to focus on how my little girl has grown into the most wonderful little girl. I hope this day stays in my memory forever.  Of us holding hands.  Of our nervous excitement as we entered the doors.  

As I collected her and she showed me her painting that she had done, my heart was full again.  I want to keep this day with me. Of how proud I felt.  Of how she is truly amazing.  And of how the love I have for her is indescribable.

I feel whilst there may be blog posts to come about our adventures and more likely mis-adventures in pre-school land, today I wanted to capture what I felt for my wonderful daughter.  We returned home and my daughter danced round with her pants on her head to Frozen.  The perfect day.  

"Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering”,

pregnancy weight loss symptom | Teenager birthday gift ideas

pregnancy weight loss symptom

I sometimes find that buying birthday presents for teenagers can be a little bit tricky. Not yet an adult but certainly not a child, teenagers are in that middle ground.  Besides the obligatory gift voucher or money in a card, thinking of a present for a teenager can take a little bit of creative thought! This week, it was my beautiful nieces 14th birthday and upon asking her what she wanted as a gift and her replying that she didnt mind, I set to work on creating her gift. Gulp! 

But first, lets just appreciate the ribbon. How cute is this ribbon? I picked it up from Hobbycraft and thought it was a lovely finishing touch to the present! I adore putting ribbon round presents.  I know some people may think its a waste of time, but for me it really brings a present together and I always think how lovely it is to receive a beautifully wrapped present.  A metre normally costs around 50p - £1 so I always like to add it when I can.  But, onto whats inside!   

I picked up this gorgeous little suitcase from a little shop called Yellowstone at Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent (if you ever go near here, you MUST check this amazing boutique out).  The case was in the childrens section, but I thought this was ideal to hold lots of little gifts, and it is something my niece can hopefully use for storing things inside after her birthday.  Inside the case I then individually gift wrapped little presents.  Presents within a present are always a winner for me! I wrapped a gift voucher for her favourite shop and some hair accessories. She also adores cats, so I found this really cute little cat milk jug. 

 

I also picked up this Ted Baker mini-body spray.  I always struggle with what beauty bits and pieces to get her, but I thought she would like the smell of this as it isnt as strong as a perfume but still has a pretty and sweet smell. 

And that was her little gift case.  Simple, but a bit more than your usual gift voucher.  I hope she loves it and I really enjoyed choosing her gifts within a gift.  I just cant believe she is 14 already!!! I hope this post gives you some inspiration for any teenagers you have to buy for and you can tailor the little gifts to their likes and interests. 

Have you got teenagers you need to buy gifts for? Any tips on picking gifts?

pregnancy weight loss success | Snack Time at Playgroup

pregnancy weight loss success

An ode to snack time at our local playgroup. 

"Its snack time", the nice playgroup lady calls, 
As helpers hurriedly tidy away toys and balls, 
"Its snack time", echoes around the halls, 
"No need to push", "be careful no-one falls". 

As little bums rush to their seats, 
Some parents begin a hasty retreat.
Anticipation lies heavy in the air,  
But be quick, be late to the table only if you dare. 

In come the bowls,
In come the cups, 
In come the snack plates, 
Everything stops. 

This is playgroup snack time, so beware,
A bit like stepping inside the lions lair.  
How this is the bit I dread, 
As the children act like they have never been fed. 

Its like watching a pack of baboons, 
A scrabble, an elbow, 
And then theres that child who continues to bellow. 
A push and a shove, 
Heavens above. 

Some parents are even worse,
They take two biscuits not one, 
And my daughters wailing, 
She has got none. 

Some parents giggle, 
Others disappear, 
They have got that snack time fear. 
But we all know this is no joke, 
There is no kindness at the snack table to other folk. 
Some faces are red
And a push and a shove too, 
From that nice little mum that looks like she wouldnt say "Boo". 

Parents wouldnt you have some manners please, 
I think you would find better behaviour from fleas. 
Children that turn into naughty blighters, 
Parents that become expert kung-foo fighters. 
No manners, 
No love, 
Oh no, this my friends is war, 
Over a raisin and a cookie, they would knock you to the floor.  

Laura Evelyn Bee. 


(We love it really).
