Ok… It may be ten to 5 in the morning, but I’m wide awake and really excited as in the morning we are off on our holiday to Center Parcs!! I adore Center Parcs and the last time we were there was in 2008.
Being able to take Luke on his first proper holiday and have his maternal grandparents there to share it means the world to me (although it would have been great to have his other grandad too, we are seeing him next weekend 🙂 )
The bags are packed! My gosh you end up taking so much stuff with a toddler!! Clothes, bottles, calpol, Swim stuff, toys…. The list continues.
The cameras are charged and ready for action and I’m most certain il be coming home to edit thousands literally!
Eeekk I must curb my enthusiasm and head back to sleep I guess!
I shall tweet the holiday, look out for the hashtag #CPweek for updates!
Yesterday my laptop decided it was going to fail on me, I was devastated.. More so because I couldn’t access my blog properly, other than the app on my iPhone. Turns out that it’s the LED lights on my screen and it’s all still there you just can’t see it unless you shine a torch on it. Fixable at least.
During my panic GeekMummy tipped me off on a new app for iPads called Blogsy. This is what I am using now and to be honest I am finding it loads easier to use than my laptop on actual wordpress! Weird hey?! Anyway I’m really grateful for this app and even though it’s a tad pricy, so far I’m impressed and can blog happily from my iPad. Of course I haven’t thoroughly tested it yet as this is my first post, time will tell.
Mum has ordered me a new mattress, I really cannot wait. I get impaled my the dodgy springs every time I lay down and it doesn’t help my pain levels. Lucky for me I have the best parents ever and I owe them so much! Just have to wait in for it to be delivered – between 8am and 6pm… Don’t you just HATE that?! Lol oh well, it will be worth it to sleep tonight’ I’ve become a bit of an insomniac recently and can’t switch my mind off. Last night I saw every hour until 4am and was up at 7.
Luke is now 18 months old and seems to be having a bit of a physical growth spurt, I simply cannot believe how long his legs are! He is also evening out and losing his puppy fat which isn sup rising the level of energy he has each day.
Not long until we go to Center Parcs now!!! I love Elveden Forest, haven’t been since 2008 and this will be Lukes first proper holiday as a family. We have some fun activities planned and I shall be blogging and tweeting through our stay. I can’t wait to take my new camera aswell. I’m a tad obsessed with it at the moment, it’s only a hand me down but it’s fab!
My pain levels rant great at the moment and I’m still feeling down so hopefully these positive things to look forward to will ease my mind off things. Though I’m trying to cut down the painkillers – hence the sleepless nights.
Ever since Lucky was small(er) he has loved his reflection. The best distraction out there was to hold him infront of his refection and it tickled us to see his reaction…
Here was a video that was taken at my parents house in their full sized mirror wardrobe – personally I think its too young to be practicing kissing.. but hey 😉
When the guys at Mirrorin asked if anyone would like to review one of their safety mirrors for children, we jumped at the chance! For Lucky to have his very own mirror that I could be sure was safe. We were sent a very cute little mirror , a duck design. Perfect for his age as it fits nicely into a nursery theme for small babies and toddlers alike.
The package arrived fast and in a nicely secure package and inside were very simple instructions on how to assemble the acrylic pieces onto the mirror and also where to stick the adhesive pads – which I might add are lovely and strong and the mirror is now happily stuck to my wall.
Lucky loves it! We have placed it at his height so he can glimpse himself in the eye every so often and its a cute addition to his room! Here are a few pictures of Lucky enjoying the mirror!
