MELLIES CORNER

Showing posts with label Catch up. Show all posts

I am so sorry for the lack of posts on my blog recently. I have missed blogging and have been M.I.A a little too long for my liking.

I have been struggling with balancing all me bits as of late, but think I have finally found a happy place with them all. All about getting the balance right.

Going back to study has been so much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, but it is also pretty intense. I have been so focused on my studies, completing my homework and assignments, and spending time with my son & partner.

Mal and I are both pretty busy recently as he is also studying - SUPADAD and even though I see him everyday I miss him. We miss quality time with each other and date nights are not always possible; so we have been trying to make a more conscious effort to set aside time for each other and ourselves. But where art thou time?

So within trying to keep on top of things, I have neglected Mellies Corner a wee bit :(.

I was also feeling a little disheartened (I think that's the right word), as I was reading into the 'blogging thing' too much. Thoughts of why bother, not as good as, no one is interested in ..... were a few that crossed my mind.

I had a read of a few random posts I have done and I remembered exactly why I started blogging (again).

I enjoy sharing my random thoughts and wishes with the universe. I absolutely love looking back at moments and seeing/reading the changes with my son.

I think as I can have quite 'perfectionist-like' tendencies, it is really important for me to put out content on my blog that I am happy with, definitely quality over quantity.

So for the time in hand, I will be posting 2 x weekly minimum.

If I have a few extra minutes or stick to my plans, you never know there may be 3, 4 even 5 posts - slight exaggeration, but you get my drift.

So I am going to not be too hard on myself if I am not able to post as many times as I would like, and just enjoy the wonderful world of blogging and sharing snippets of our life with the world wide web.

I want to live in the now with my family and spend as much time as we can creating memories and trying to capture them to also share on Mellies Corner.

[Can we just talk about how hard it is to take pictures of, or with my little man. He really is speedy gonzales and just does not keep still.]

I have a couple posts coming your way that I am super excited about as it is approaching December and that is my baby's birthday month.

#Caimas

Woop woop.

So lots of planning for his 2nd birthday ahead.....even though I have started already, so do keep your eyes peeled.

I'm happy to be back and hope you will enjoy my little corner of the net.

Hi guys,

Another fortnightly catch up for you.

Cai and I are both so over joyed as papa bear is now on holidays :).

We have him every day for the next couple of weeks.

It is so lovely to spend time together the 3 of us in the morning, afternoon, evenings or night lol.

Cai absolutely loves it to, I am again being called Daddy though. Thanks son.

So this summer holiday we wanted to try and get out and about a bit more with Cai, discovering what London has in store for us.

Our past two weeks have contained:

- Cinema with Perry & Madison (Cai's godparents) to see Transformers. No pictures but I really did enjoy the film and my Ice Blast. Does anyone go to the cinema and not get an Ice Blast? They are just yummy.

If you don't know what they are, there is a link here of the Ice Blast in all its frozen glory.

- Wearing my adilettes with a lace dress.

- Bubba picking plums from the garden with Auntie P.

- Making my first ever plum crumble. I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished product. Damn baby brain.

- Garden fun

- Crying bubba, because mummy did not pick him up.....

"MUM"

"MUMM"

"MUMMM PICK ME UP"

"MUMMM PLEASE"

"MUMMM . . . . FINE THEN"

Which then transformed into a happy bubba once he was in arms and scoffing plums.

Isn't motherhood glamorous.

"SUCCESS IS SWEET"

- Cai's pasta with peppers, a little spinach in a tomato and basil sauce.

- Another amaze-balls Mothers Meeting, Let's talk about sex and we definitely did.
Read my write up here if you haven't already.

- After the Mothers Meeting in Shoreditch House, I went and had a Pina Colada in Juno Bar by myself yum yum yum.

- My boys then came to meet me in Shoreditch where we had lunch at Byron.
Cai was very well behaved and ate onion rings, which was interesting.

- Kidnapped by Nouna aka Poumy and loving his banana.

- We love Mega Bloks in this house. We recieved 2 packs of Mega Bloks as gifts and keep one in the car when we are going out. Cai is getting so good at building towers.
