Sunshiney day in the Garden! We bought out the teepee for shade and none of the kids sat in it 😂 I made a huge roast and we ate it on the patio! What a lovely Father's Day! 💛 - - - - - - - #watchthemlearn #southampton #littlefamiliesofig #candidchildhood #lifecloseup #ukparentbloggers #punkymoms #punkymomsuk #littleandbrave #littlefierceones #clickinmoms #worldoflittles #thatsdarling #childrenoftheworld #myhappycapture #curiouslittleexplorers #mybeautifulmess #littleloves #uniteinmotherhood #momswithcameras #simplychildren #subjectlight #childhoodunplugged #visualsoflight #littleandfierce #pixel_kids #instakids #childrenofinstagram #perfectandproud #letsgolittles

We are swinging into a new week tomorrow! 🤪 I'm so excited about getting a routine back, having some form of order, a system! Being able to start my at-home spin classes, being able to do blog work without distraction and just having the time to get shit done without someone needing something! Bring on the madness that is packing lunches, school runs, homeworks and dealing with the after school moodswings as we know they will be fully present! 😆🙃 I am SO ready. Not saying the kids are ready 😅😉 But I'm ready! #superbusymum #developinglife #dearestviewfinder #dearphotographer #lifecloseup #littlefierceones #discoverunder10k #tbcsmiles #ukparentbloggers #ukmumsquad #momtogs #mummyblogger #thehonestlens #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #igmotherhood #littlestoriesofmylife #familybloggers #northernireland #belfastgirl #dailyparenting #thisparentlife #capturingcolour #seekmoments (at Whiteabbey Glen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiLqH8l73G/?igshid=13xv21v8ws4t1

Another day, another bike ride with the youngest. I cannot tell you how good it feels! Nowhere else other than the local Glen for us, not until I get myself a helmet that is! 🚴‍♀️ Any recommendations? #developinglife #dearestviewfinder #dearphotographer #lifecloseup #littlefierceones #discoverunder10k #niblogger #belfastblogger #momswithcameras #thisparentlife #dailyparenting #documentyourdays #pursuitofjoyproject #ukparentbloggers #ukmumsquad #momtogs #igmotherhood #ukmumsquad #ukmummyblogger #seekmoments #tiredmumsclub #stronggirlsclub #motherhoodunplugged #northernireland (at Newtownabbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIUtycFHQN/?igshid=126w5fre7zop0

AD // Investing in our children's futures is so important. Whether it be for their first car, university fees, a deposit on their first house, the options are endless and it's so easy with the @thebeanstalkapp - Beanstalk is a JISA that allows you to save easily for your kid's futures.  You can set up an account for each of your children on the app. It's managed with ease and you can even set one up for yourself if you like. Use tools such as round ups or top them up whenever you like with as often as you like. Another great feature is that grandparents as well as other family and friends can contribute to your child's savings too. It's so comforting to know that you can have a nest egg there for your child and ready to be utilised once they turn 18. It is a real peace of mind as a parent, knowing that you have invested in their future and that they'll have something there waiting for them when they come of age.  Have you invested in your child's future?  You can find more about JISAs in their FREE guide (link in bio)  We've partnered up with @thebeanstalkapp to giveaway a grow your own Pea & Bean Kit.

Extended lockdown for us in N.I. But do you know what? It's OK. We are adapting to lockdown life reasonably well once again and I am loving this gift of having my family around me 24/7 (when they're not fighting the piece out, of course!). Because this time with our family IS a gift and I am here for it. So I am going to continue on, for however long this lockdown will go on for (my bets on Easter!) and making my deliciously fluffy pancakes, chilling with the kids and most of all? Staying home and being safe. Things are going to get better. Of course they are. We just need to be a little patient for a little while longer. We've got this. xx #superbusymum #developinglife #dearestviewfinder #dearphotographer #lifecloseup #documentyourdays #lockdown2021 #seekmoments #pursuitofjoyproject #magicofchildhood #thehonestlens #momswithcameras #ukparentbloggers #ukmumsquad #momtogs #clickinmoms #photooftheday #capturingmotherhood #igmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #littlefierceones #littlestoriesofmylife #familybloggers #belfastblogger #niblogger #northernireland (at Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUkk72FJSO/?igshid=1n2fwt3jpmbq2

SELF CARE NIGHT! ❣ Tonight is all about a takeaway (naughty), a hot bath & self care. I have a hair mask, for the first time EVER in my 40yrs on this planet. I'm so behind when it comes to this whole female thing. Always have been and no doubt always will be! 🤣 And yes, I occasionally eat my dinner in the bath. No judgement! It's how I roll sometimes! And just take time out for myself. Its heaven and can we just talk about this garner hair mask??? It smells SO FRIKKEN GOOD and my hair already feels better and smells incredible. I will report more on my stories once I have dried it. But so far, so good! Now for an evening of Supernatural, double stuffed oreos and a cheeky southern comfort to congratulate Joe Biden on his presidential victory! That US election didn't half run on, didn't it!! But that result was epic and I would pay GOOD MORNING to be a fly on the wall within the white House to watch Grumpy Trumpy seethe 🤣 Happy Saturday folks!!! 🥳🤩❤ #developinglife #dearestviewfinder #selfcareday #lifecloseup #discoverunder10k #ukparentbloggers #dearphotographer #seekmoments #selfcaretips #selfcarefirst #belfastblogger #niblogger #documentyourdays #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #capturingmotherhood #igmotherhood #thehonestlens #photooftheday #garnierhairfood #bathtime #bestphotooftheday #capturingmotherhood (at Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTTmmXF1Kr/?igshid=kdwtxs1p2nll

Another lovely celebration today with Children’s University @liverpoolhopeuk . Such a fab idea to honour all the hours that children spend outside of core school hours doing other activities like sports, beavers, dancing, swimming & of course, football! The caps & gowns are just adorable as is watching them go up for their certificates, shaking hands. . . #childrensuniversity #thischildofmine #littleandfierce #lifecloseup #tbcsmiles #minime #childhood_memories #childhoodunplugged #snapshotoftheday #snapshotofmylife #documentyourdays #pursuitofjoyproject #rememberingthesedays #dailyparenting #holdthemoments #noordinarykids #mumsofig #motherofdaughters #raisingmytribe #momofgirls (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6xjG1FKZb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15tf2nl010ze3
