EASTER 2017 RECAP

Happy Easter Monday! Hope you’ve enjoyed a wonderful weekend with your loved ones. We kicked off our special Sunday by having an Easter egg hunt outside in our garden.

We then headed inside to decorate eggs with dye, emojis and decorative foam egg holders.

We finished off with our traditional Easter dinner. Dinner this year was lamb marinated in onions, rosemary and thyme and then baked in the oven for a few hours after searing on the stove to a golden brown. English style roast potatoes and green beans and carrots provide the perfect accompaniment.

MOMMYCON CHANGED MY LIFE

I feel energized, empowered and inspired. I went to MommyCon NYC this weekend and I think I can say it has changed my life for the better. For the first time,  I feel l’ve found people who are just like me – moms who don’t know all the answers. Moms who are still trying to figure it out. Moms who are keen to learn and admit they aren’t perfect. Those who accept vulnerability and use it as a tool to find strength through authenticity in this journey called parenthood.

I was so inspired by so many of the speakers at MommyCon NYC. Two in fact, Amy Appleton and Ilana Grostern (Facebook.com/amyandilana) talked like they were practically in my head with their witty and accurate anecdotes about how to find your tribe, how to challenge and question the stories we have been told about motherhood and that we all have to make a practice of giving ourselves permission to nurture ourselves body and soul.

I learned about how to turn passions into profits with Tula baby and met an arsenal of vendors with amazing products and services for kids and parents.

MommyCon is a nation-wide natural parenting conference that focuses on a wide range of topics,  from advice on how to use cloth diapering to teaching parents how to teach their children to develop good financial skills. Children are more than welcome to attend with special play areas designed for kids to explore.

It was an amazing experience and I learned to much. If you would like to find out more, visit MommyCon’s website at MommyCon.com and don’t forget to check out my visit to MommyCon NYC by clicking on my vlog below!

SUNNY SATURDAY

img_4208img_4203

I love spending Saturdays with my little one(s), especially when the sun it out!
Today was exceptionally mild for February with temperatures into the mid 60’s, so we took every opportunity to spend as much time outside as we could. We started off my taking or new puppy, Sweet Pea out for a walk around our garden. Then we went to a local park and finished off a fantastic afternoon with  delicious frozen yogurt.

Comfort is always key for us, so I opted for a flowy tunic and jeans with fun pink boots.  Little bear is in a complimentary floral dress, warm yet welcoming for the spring-like temperatures.

I want to recap my summer vacation, to have a look back at the places we traveled and how we felt whilst being there. Join me!
