I think we need to rename #whatmamaworemonday to #sillyposemonday 😆 Lily cried, she didn’t want to go to playgroup today. So we had a morning of mooching around the shops and then playing at home. I don’t know why she’s stopped liking playgroup, but I won’t force her to go. To be honest, the day seems longer when we don’t go, more time to chill out so I don’t mind. Today I’m wearing a @primark top that I had never worn before, even though I bought it 3 years ago! So it’s a new old top. And Lily is being Princess Poppy of course. Have you got any clothes you have forgotten about? Go on, have a look in your wardrobe, you never know! @heyitsromeca @stylemotherbeat

I can’t believe it’s Monday again, and yet I’m grateful to be able to see another Monday. What happened in New Zealand just before the weekend is truly frightening and awful. Those innocent people would have been able to live their lives and enjoy the little things, like pink trees last week, and now that’s been taken away from them by one psycho. And how many other psychos are out there. The world can be horrible, but let’s spread some love and smile at each other today.

I have ALWAYS wanted to have a photo with the beautiful hanging bus blinds at the @ltmuseum - and yesterday on our impromptu mummy and son trip into London, we didn’t go to any flower cafes, but this was way better! There were actually people queuing to get a photo with the flower benches in Covent Garden - YES REALLY!! This has made me even more determined to find the pretty photo spots OUTSIDE of London. Who wants to be like everyone else?! Not me. Now tell me, have you been to any of the destinations on the bus blinds in this photo? I can spot a few :)

The pink floral cake shop that inspired my pink bathroom makeover. Remember when I took Lily there last year? There are so many of these pretty flowery cafes in London and I wanted to take Lily to one, maybe like once a week. But the reality is that it’s £15 for the train fare. And £15 each time to take a photo in front of a pretty cafe is just not worth it, especially when there’s actually lots of people sitting in front of the cafe, so it won’t be like those perfect Instagram images. On this one, there was a girl in a skin-tight red Lycra dress sitting on the right, and I pressed the healing button over her in Snapseed. You can obviously see where if you look 🙈 ANYWAY, the point of me writing this is that I’ve been inspired to find local places for people to go to. I’m researching a post about “Slough’s Quirkiest Foods”, and thinking maybe, “Prettiest teashops in Berkshire” - that sort of thing. I’ll be scouring Instagram for photos. Have you have eaten somewhere interesting that’s not in London?

I got new jeans and I’m so in love with them!! I can’t remember the last time I bought jeans, it must be years ago. Something happens when you have kids, and you stop buying things for yourself, getting cutey little miniature clothes for your mini people instead. Well that’s going to stop for me! Especially when my miniature little madam won’t even wear half the clothes I buy her and would rather spend the weekend in her pjs. I actually had to bribe her with donuts to get her to put on her outfit this morning 🙈 So Lily, if you’re not going to wear the nice new clothes, then Mummy’s going to buy new clothes for herself!! Joining in with #whatmamaworemonday with @heyitsromeca @stylemotherbeat My jeans are from @peacocks_fashion - I love the sweet pastel colour and they are sooooo comfy. I’m wearing a plain old white tee and a dusky pink cardi that I got from @primark last week. Now tell me, when’s the last time you bought new jeans?

Happy Monday folks 🌸 I thought we could start the week pretty with some blossom. They certainly make the school run exciting, with the kids looking out for “pink trees for mummy!” I bet you’ll be looking for them, now that you’ve read this. Have a great day and I hope you spot some pink trees 🌸

Check out my wedding!
