We Heart Mondays!

So i've decided Mondays are the new fundays!!!

Leeanne and I have decided to make September 2013 to September 2014 (when our girls start school and boys preschool) the year of Fun!!!! Just like Giuliana and Bill this coming year is going to be filled with adventures, fun and most of all love!!!!

We've already got a lot booked for this next 6 months!!! (we like to be organised)

We've got birthday parties, spa parties, nights out, halloween parties, Disney on Ice, Finland, Room on the Broom Live, Milan, Disney Princess Tea, Buckingham Palace, Kew Gardens, Peppa Pig World, Weddings, Nystagmus Open Day, NBA Basketball matches, Lapland UK and thats all before Christmas!!! Then come January we are arranging a very special trip to Paris for a certain persons 30th! And within this next 6 months we have some very hard training for a little London Marathon we have entered!

I had no idea just how much fun stuff we had planned and its all with different people - during the week and weekends in term time and out of term time whilst we still have the luxury to keep them off for the day to visit Father Christmas!!!

Its so nice to do things as a family, things with just friends, things with just my mummy, things with just my hubby and things with my children separately.  Spending time together and making and cherishing memories is what life should be about!

All to quickly we get wrapped up in mini dramas and forget whats important! We don't have long on this Earth and time is of the essence!!!

This is my new motto! The small stuff is exactly that - small!!! 

Enjoy your days and make plans

Happy Monday and heres to the Year of Fun!!

Best Friends Birthday Goodies

My favourite thing is finding amazing presents for people! I absolutely love it! I take ages to search for the right thing for the exact person, seeing their face open and hopefully loving it is priceless!!!

Two of my best friends have recently turned 30 and its Leeanne's turn next!

I am in love with Estella Bartlett - her jewellery is fantastic -  I love this star bracelet and the prices are super reasonable! £15

What girl doesn't love a turquoise box wrapped with white ribbon and the little black letters reading Tiffany! This bow necklace is so elegant and something you would wear forever! £160

This birthday my oldest friend and I decided we wouldn't do presents instead we would plan a lovely afternoon tea.  The Sanderson are doing a Mad Hatters Tea - a day together sipping Earl Grey eating cakes child free is my idea of a good afternoon!!!

My last idea is an idea that can work for any birthday any age - a picture book!! Either a printed book (i love bob books) or a lovely photo album from paper chase! Inside you can add all your oldest photos, all your memories, all your laughs and good times! Such a great keepsake!!!

Love

Mummy's on stage!

Picture the scene .... we are on holiday, its Wednesday evening, we've had a few glasses of vino with dinner and the Hotel Entertainment ask for Miss Blue Lagoon contestants!

Of course up jumps Leeanne volunteering and so i think surely it won't be that bad so up on stage we get!!! hahaha

The boys running the show are bringing us drinks - and when i say glasses of Vodka with a diet coke twist i'm not exaggerating!! so needless to say (seeing as we are stay at home mums) we got very drunk very quickly!!! Well the tasks were embarrassing - provocative dancing, singing with ice cubes in our mouths, kissing audience members and grabbing clothing from the audience!

After winning our husbands took our children to bed and this is where it all gets a bit hazy ......... we jumped in pools, went down water slides, rolled around the grass, threw up, ran on stage soaking wet etc etc ....

The next morning at breakfast people were staring and pointing and we were like oh no what did we do????

However ..................

We had so much fun!!!! Fun as Jade and Leeanne and not just mums!!! We let our hair down and had such a brilliant night we are still laughing about it now!!

It makes a change to be reckless and crazy!! It really was the best having fun with friends and just being ourselves!!!

Moral of the story - Laughter is the best medicine!!!! We are all entitled to have fun !!!

Love
