2014 So Far!

So somehow its February already! I really don't know where the time has gone! Once again it's been a while, I've been finding it quite tricky trying to find a spare moment or two to blog recently and in all honesty I fell a little out of love with the whole idea.  I've now found myself at a point where I do actually want to do something with this little blog, I'm just not sure exactly what. I was considering for a while scrapping the whole thing and completely starting afresh with another. I could not bring myself to do it in the end so I think for now I'm just going to have a quick name change (ideas appreciated) and maybe a little move around while I figure out exactly what direction I want to take this place. So watch this space guys! 

If there's anything you would like to see me post do let me know as I'm always craving some new ideas! 

Until then, enjoy a little update of mine and Toby's year so far!

1. We visited my Dad in Cheshire at the start of January and Toby was extremely fond of his beautiful dog Andre. 2. Another one from Cheshire, a lovely little dog walk. 3. Toby brought Rusty Bear home from nursery and we got to take him on lots of exciting adventures while filling out his diary. 4. One of our adventures with Rusty. 5. Toby all dressed up for my birthday meal, such a handsome little man! 6. Toby and Matilda, my dear friends Polly and Megan's beautiful niece. 7. I've made a little start on a study corner, so far I've only decorated the wall! 8. My extremely talented boyfriend made me and Toby absolutely adorable matching shirts! 9. A walk in Bradgate park. 10. My boys. 11. Toby having a little rest after our long walk.

Christmas Countdown!

(Toby closes his eyes when he doesn't want a picture taken)

So last night we took Toby to see the Christmas lights being switched on in Leicester. We even met Santa and a snowman and I could have cried watching his little face so full of excitement! It was all so magical for him.  I used to be a total Scrooge when it came to Christmas but since having Toby it really has made it so much more special. Everything is so exciting again! We wrote our list last week and every time I asked him what he wanted he just kept saying "I'll be happy what ever Santa gets me" and it was just so adorable! I eventually managed to squeeze some gift ideas out of him though so I can finally start shopping for his big bits! I've already finished everyone elses and got him a few little stocking fillers so I'm rather impressed with how well I'm doing this year. Now I just can't wait to put a mince pie and a carrot out for Santa and Rudolph and wake up ridiculously early to a little four year old jumping up and down on my bed!

Autumn Update

Autumn has always been my absolute favourite season. We've been doing lots of painting on rainy days, enjoyed some lovely long walks around Bradgate Park and even did a bit of pumpkin carving on Halloween. It's been a wonderful! 

Octobers been a rather busy month. I'm slowly getting back into the flow of studying again and I'm absolutely loving every minute of it. I made the decision shortly after my degree began to change from Design and Innovation to classical History and I have most definitely made the right choice! I really can't remember the last time I genuinely loved what I was doing this much. I've spent far to long trying out different things and I never really thought about sticking to the one thing I've always enjoyed and the one thing I'm genuinely good at. It sounds a bit silly really but I was just so desperate to get back into education after having a year off with Toby so I just jumped at the first opportunity without really considering all the options. I finally know what I want to do with my life as well now so everything seems to be falling into place rather nicely. 

Me and Toby have also been enjoying the vast amount of party invitations he's been receiving this month. All of his friends birthdays seem to be this time of year and the boy currently has a better social life than me! Childrens parties really are the cutest though and its been so nice watching him running around  having fun with all his friends.  I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all their mums as well as being a young mother means I don't actually really know anyone else with children! 

We've got lots more exciting things planned next month as well so I'll keep you posted!
