Back to blogging?!

I made an effort to resume blogging again. I started last year but swiftly got distracted with wedding koans and little Lily. I started again a month or so ago and used my laptop which is sadly nearing the end of its days. It was an immense hassle and I'm not sure why that is but it was very difficult to complete a post without experiencing a crash and controlling where photos went was the bane of my life.
So, I had a brainwave today and got the blogger app. Hopefully this will work because I have some ideas to supplement what I am already up to on YouTube.

This week's highlights...so far

Monday- I actually managed to film a complete Day in the Life. Getting back into the swing of actively filming something that involves me rather than the usual Vlogtober. Lily and I had a great day at soft play despite me feeling like I was getting a UTI. I am fine now though, perhaps the 2l of cranberry juice over 2 days helped!

Wednesday- Rob was away on business, but luckily a friend looked after Lily whilst I went to ballet class. I am really really enjoying it, everything is flooding back and I improve every session. Good exercise too, I am definitely getting my flexibility back!

Thursday- We had a day trip involving a just over an hour train journey and met up with Claire and Violet. The station at the destination had no functioning lifts which was super duper annoying for those with prams and disabled people or the elderly. Luckily a young woman with a toddler looking at the stairs in despair results in kind people offering to help. I filmed a DITL throughout the day and that will be published very soon. We had a great day, as usual we wore the girls out at soft play and hit the shops and enjoyed a pumpkin spice latte. I think Claire got my dose of spice in her latte as mine was pretty weak whilst she got a spice overload towards the end of the drink!

Friday- we went to Sainsburys and I couldn't get a look in down the toy aisle since it is the once-yearly half price toy event. From what I could see it looked pretty good, but with so much traffic down that aisle I didn't want to even attempt it!
We got a pumpkin, pumpkin cutting instruments, Halloween cookie cutters and a funky witches outfit for Lily to wear to a Halloween theme birthday party this Sunday.
Rob went away to Plymouth yesterday for the weekend and has taken his PC for a gaming night so my weekend Vlogtober vlogs have been scheduled to publish at 7:30 each morning. Back to normal on Monday! 
My night in consisted of trying to watch tv with a delicious The Collective banoffi live gourmet yoghurt (bit of a mouthful, haha!). That was so good but the tv was not. Hmm maybe we ought to get youview...
I started searching for toddler entertainment for the long flight to San Diego in December. Maybe a pair of toddler headphones would be a good idea since I'm sure not everyone will want to listen to Sarah and Duck or Peppa Pig!

Saturday- Lily was a poorly girl around 10pm last night. She must have eaten something that disagreed  with her but she snuggled on the sofa and cooled down, had a dose of cal pol and a drink of water followed by an episode of Sarah and Duck. Then she went down to bed in fresh bedding and as out like a light. She is her usual self today, hooray!
I have my uni best friend coming up to stay this evening, so I'm excited to have a girls night in. I haven't seen her in ages. She was unable to come to our wedding last November as she had a car crash on the way! So it will be almost a year since I last saw her, not on! Oh well, she is days away from being a qualified science teacher now, so I'll forgive her, haha!


Sunday - we went to a 3rd birthday party today with Lily dressed as a witch. I made some shortbread cookies and added orange food gel so they were really vibrant. Last night was so nice, nail painting, film, cheesecake and Pringles. Plus talking in bed until one of us dozed off, much like sleepovers!
