MELLIES CORNER

We all truly enjoyed this summer. 

We wanted to create some new memories, spend time with each other, friends & family, visit our old favourite places and experiment with new things as our boy is growing. 

Here is a small round up of the things (as a family) we were loving this Summer 2014. 

1.  Ice Cubes & DIY Ice Lollies

Now I don't know where my son's love for ice came from but he is lovin' it. To the point where you will hear silence after he has ran into the kitchen because he has opened the freezer to use his little fingers to try to eat the ice on the shelves.

To incorporate his love for ice into his dessert I make him homemade ice lollies, with real fruit pieces and a mixture of fruit juice and water, which he really really enjoys.
Obviously I had to make some adult appropriate ones with Southern Comfort and mushed strawberries & lime for me and my fella, which were AMAZE if I say so myself.

We were lovin' summer this year. Especially on the days that were not so overly hot.
 You guys know how I feel about hot weather in the UK :).

I had wanted to explore and discover London with my boys as we may live, breathe and work in London, but we don't really see London and all it's wonders. 

So a trip to South Bank was in order for us and it was beau-ti-ful. 

It was the festival of love when we visited South Bank, so there was so much to see and definitely love in the air. 

I wanted to share some pictures from our trip there as we all had a good day and I went a bit snap crazy.

How excited do my boys look for our South Bank adventure. 

  

How gorgeous is the picture above. Now that is what I call a picnic. Lanterns and everything.

Nothing to me screams IT'S SUMMER more than a picnic.

I know many people will say what about bbq's, however my bestie is Greek and her family have bbq's all year round - spring, summer, autumn and winter :).

Now that Cai is older and the days warmer, we spend a lot more time in the park and it is such a great, inexpensive way to spend time together with family & friends. 

I also think it's so romantic to have a picnic with your partner or date. Although my picnic bag would probably contain mostly alcohol.

Mal, bubba and I haven't officially had a proper picnic yet and this year that is going to change. Mummy to the rescue.

So I have compiled a list of my picnic must-haves that will help complete my picnic desires.

Good old confused British weather.

Now I am not a lover of HOT weather especially in the UK. After it goes past 25 degrees ..... I'm not interested and thankfully my hubby is the same.

However there is nothing I love more than thinking up all the outfits I'd love to dress Cairo in.
