Bike Rides In The Sunshine




We have had so much fun in the sun these past few days.  We have spent lots of time at the park but most of all Poppy has enjoyed getting out and about on her gorgeous Strider Balance bike, which we brought her for her 3rd birthday from www.strider-rider.co.uk this Summer. This is in no way a sponsored post, we just brought the bike and love it!

Her Dad is away at the moment and she can't wait to show him how well she is doing on it so hopefully he will get to see this. She is starting to understand more about balance and is putting her legs up more and more (not on the pads though, more like right out to the side hee hee) squealing "weeeeee" as she goes down the hills. Such a cutie!

This is a short video of her on it today on a pretty steep hill:

 

I had been feeling bad because she hasn't been out on it as much as she would have been if Daddy was home. I imagined it being really difficult getting both girls and the bike out and about but really its not.  Poppy is quite sensible and listens when I tell her to stop which makes it easier.  It is also very light, so on the one occasion she did say she needed a rest, I was easily able to manoeuvre the pushchair in one hand and the bike in another with her walking by the side of me.

So now there is no excuse for us not getting out on it! Whilst the weather is nice, I have agreed to take her out daily so watch this space for more videos.

Oh and for the record, I have put her seat up since watching this, noticed she has had another growth spurt. Surely she has got to slow down soon!!

Daffodils and highlights

I love Spring time.  With warmer days and Daffodils popping up all over the place, you can't help but smile. 


It is also at this time of year that I usually dye my hair lighter. So yesterday on impulse, I phoned up the Salon to see if they had any spaces to fit me in.  Luckily for me it was a quiet Monday.  So off we went to change my appearance.  Two hours later, the dark Wintery image is shed and I am the new owner of blonde and caramel highlights!! This feels much more like me. 


While I was there I also picked up some of my favourite shampoo and conditioner (...well, there was an offer on them).  So with a smile on my face and a spring in my step I am ready for whatever this Season throws at me.

Ear defenders and Doctors bags!

The Husband was home this weekend.  He took one look at my pale white face and dark circles under my eyes, sent me off to bed and took over with the girls.  So with my huge Army issue ear defenders on (no I am not joking!!) I slept the weekend away.  Each time I got up, he sent me back.  So now fully rested, I am finally feeling human again today and will be getting back on track with my blog.


Now, while I was poorly, little Poppy did make me laugh.  She kept wrapping me up in a blanket and getting her Doctors bag out. She was very concerned about me and one morning whilst on the toilet said "what's wrong with you mummy, are you poorly?"  I told her I was and she said " I will sort you out in a minute with my Doctors bag, just as soon as I've done a pooh!". Even when feeling like death, my little girl can make me smile
