Me and Mine: March 2015


dear beautiful

In March I..
  • Really enjoyed our stay at Bluestone National Park in Wales. We went with Adams parents and had so much fun, it was lovely to have a chance to relax. 
  • Equally loved Folly Farm and Tenby Beach (where the above photo was taken) also in Wales. 
  • Had so much fun making and watching our video back of our memories from Wales
  • Learnt that I need to relax more and take life at a slower pace. 
  • Parked the idea of getting the loft conversion done this year (this sort of ties in with the above). 
  • Struggled from time to time with being seven months pregnant and looking after an active toddler, but am starting to learn how to manage it. 
  • Started seeing an osteopath for my back pain which has started up again as the weight on my front has increased. 
  • Brought Ethans Easter basket and birthday presents ready for next month. Can't believe he's two in a few weeks!
  • Am looking forward to return of Game of Thrones next month.
In March Adam..
  • Was the ever supportive Husband - he's been amazing looking after Ethan and I when I've felt exhausted or been in pain. 
  • Really enjoyed Wales, especially getting to drive go-karts and have a go on a digger! (He's a big child) ;)
  • Played Monster Hunter a lot. 
  • Also learnt that he too needs to relax a bit more and take life a little slower. 
  • Got excited about the announcement of the Apple iWatch. 
In March Ethan.. 
  • Enjoyed being on holiday with us and his grandparents. He had the most fun in the soft play, being outdoors and playing in the pool! 
  • Has shown so much more of an understanding, though still no words. He is able to point out lots more this month when asked where things are. 
  • Has thrown lots and lots of tantrums (the joy!). 
  • Has loved that now the weather is warming up a little, we've been able to start going to the park again on his trike.
  • Has shown a little more interest in Mummy's growing tummy. 
  • Had fun making Easter crafts with Mummy. 
  • Also had as much fun making Easter cakes. 
  • Continued to adore doing his swimming on a Thursday morning.

  8. Ohhh Alex love this month's photo. So gorgeous. I am so excited for you won't be long before baby arrives. I know all too well how you feel having an active toddler and being pregnant it was tough sometimes. You are doing amazing and Ethan is going to be the best big brother ever. Glad you had a great time in Wales. I have always wanted to go. #meandmine

  10. Lovely photo Alex, boy, i can relate to the having a toddler (times two!) and pregnant, and those toddler tantrums can be tiring! lol I guess the only consolation for them is that they're not small for long! little monkeys! x

  15. I love that photo, its so nice you have a little bit of bump in the picture too! We went to Folly Farm years ago with my son and we loved it. Looking at your video I think they have added some great things to it. Tenby beach is just stunning.
