The idea behind the posts is that they are a weekly chance to remember the little things you’ve loved that join up to make your week.

Emily has been ill all week so I've been a giving her lots of cuddles while fluffing up her pillow, rearranging her blanket, reading her temperature and reading her some stories. One of her favourite books at the moment is called Stories for girls so we got it out, cuddled under a blanket and read it together. She really enjoyed this and so did I!

I've also read my kids end of term school reports and oh boy am I a proud mummy!!!

Watched

This week I really started enjoying Modern Family. It's always been one of these series we never really watched and we always flicked to something else when it came on.....until now. I can't believe how much I'm actually enjoying this. Gloria is just hilarious, hahaha! I saw a preview of a newer series where she's pregnant, can't wait to see what she's like with raging hormones!  

Heard 

My kids have discovered Frozen.

This song has been played a lot in our house this week.

Can't wait for when this movie is out on DVD.

Made

This morning the kids and I made some valentines cookies. They turned out pretty great I think!

 

Wore

I've been wearing quite a few scarves this week! They are just so easy and versatile to wear, especially when I don't have to work. One of my faves is this infinity scarf. This photo was taken ages ago but I just thought I'd put it up anyway.

 I've also broken my own rule. Leggings and a jumper. Now I love a good pair of leggings just as much as the next girl...but please please consider them as tights and not as trousers!!!! If you are going to wear them, wear them with a longer shirt or tunic. No one wants to see wobbly butt cheeks and most people will be able to tell you are a girl without you having to proof it to them! So, as I am typing this I am actually wearing leggings and a fleecy gap jumper. Hmmm. Am I comfy? Yes. Am I wearing this out later? No way!!!

And lastly..

Yesterday afternoon Emily snuck into her room and told me not to come in.  When she came back out she was holding something behind her back. With the proudest smile she handed me this homemade card. Isn't it adorable! I especially love the "beloved" part. Hahaha, where does she come up with these things.

Dylan went to the valentines disco at school last night and I think he looked very handsome!

Read

I've been reading the first book of The Mortal Instruments series, it's called city of bones and so far it's pretty good. I say so far because I'm only on page 90 and considering I started reading it just after Christmas that's pretty bad. I'm much more of a reader when it's sunny and warm and I can go and sit out in the garden! When I'm inside I find myself often too distracted by other things to read for very long. Bring on summer! Anyway, back to the book. I'm quite liking it, the characters are great and it's a pretty easy read. I'll definitely be reading the others in this series.  Oh, and there's a movie as well!

Watched

While we are waiting for most of our favourite series to return we've been catching up on box sets (thanks Sky on Demand!). We've watched the whole first season of Arrow (LOVE it) and we've just finished watching Revolution, can definitely recommend that one! Another one I've started catching up on is Grey's anatomy, seasons 8 and 9. OMG...I can not believe what has happened so far. Very sad...but I still love it.

Heard

I really love this song, every time it's on, the radio gets turned up!

Made

Erm.........nothing much this week.  Let's see, I made dinner every night, and....ah I know...on Sunday I made bacon and lentil soup. Very tasty and super easy to make. The kids weren't too impressed which meant more for me, ha!

Wore

I bought this lovely Essie nail polish last weekend and have been wearing it most of the week.
It's called mint candy apple and is such a gorgeous colour.

And lastly..

Last weekend we had a sleepover for Dylan's birthday. He turned ten in December but every time we tried to organise it back then something came up or someone couldn't make it. So we put it on hold.
He was soooo excited to have three of his best friends around!
I was dreading it to be honest but it all turned out so much better than expected.
The first two hours were MANIC!!!
All boys were overexcited, very loud and jumping from one end of the living room to the other.
Then it was pizza time and they all quieted down a bit while they ate and watched a movie.
After that they went back on the Xbox for an evening of Minecraft playing.
It did turn out to be a late night, they didn't go to sleep until half past midnight, whoops.
It did take me back to when I was a little girl and having sleepovers, giggling away to ourselves every time one of the parents came and shushed us.
Morning came and all boys were pretty tired but they all had an amazing time.
Also, quite glad Emily wasn't home for all of this, she had her very own sleepover at her auntie's house. She would have been a wreck otherwise!
I think I'll definitely allow sleepovers again.
