What do you remember most about your child at 18 months old? I really want to remember this one’s enthusiasm for the water. She loves nothing more than diving in the bath and attempting to swim away. My bathroom might be destroyed but the giggles and smiles are totally worth it. To help me remember all her qualities at this age I’ve posted a little rhyme (link in bio) let me know if any of it sounds familiar. Have a lovely weekend x

Judge me if you want but binge watching a TV series is my guilty pleasure. Or should I say was. I completely took for granted how much TV I was able to watch pre-mum and when Roo was tiny. Now unless I stay up until a ridiculous hour the only TV I get to watch is CBeebies. My only saving grace is that she’s suddenly a sucker for musicals. Although the Greatest Showman is only great for the first 100 or so viewings. #mumproblems #abc123challenge

I’m not really sure why but today it really hit home how much my baby has grown. She’s definitely not this teeny tiny anymore. She’s growing into such an independent little girl and I couldn’t be more proud. 💖

My Daddy is my hero He's a star in every way And I know that as I grow I'll love him more each day. He may not be able to fly Or have other special powers But he's a really funny guy That can make me laugh for hours. He doesn't wear a hero costume He doesn't have a cape But when I'm feeling doom and gloom He always helps me to escape. He doesn't carry magic weapons He doesn't have a hammer or a shield But no matter what happens He'll always be my protective force field. He might not be your typical hero But that doesn't matter to me He's the best person I know And I get to call him Daddy. . Not all heroes wear capes. Some just look like ordinary dads but do extraordinary things. Happy Father’s Day.

Hands up if you forgot it’s Father’s Day this weekend? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ As usual I’ve left it until the last minute to get my husband a present from our little girl (Sorry Greg) so we will be doing some panic crafting to make him something special. I also wanted to write him a poem from Roo. But I have two and I can’t choose which one. Head over to my blog (link in bio) and help me decide. If all else fails I’ll order a Domino’s pizza and he’ll be over the moon. What are you getting your loved ones this Father’s Day? Let me know! X

S is for stairs/strollers... I never thought I’d say this but I miss being able to take the stairs or escalator. There’s no such thing as popping to town quickly when you have to constantly wait for the lift in every store. Is it just me that feels this way? Although I guess the one silver lining is I’m not as scared of them as I used to be!

It’s been a lovely weekend filled with fun and friends. But now I’m exhausted so if anyone needs me I’ll be channeling my inner sloth in a reclined position in the sofa.✌🏻 . . . . . . . . . #sundayfundays #weekendfun #sloth #marwellzoo #myspiritanimal #mumsofig #mumdiaries #mbloggers #mumblogger #thatmamalife
