Im finding it really strange that I now get every Saturday off! I’ve been so used to working Saturdays for the past 12 years being a hairdressing. That now I have given up to be a full time mummy I’m finding it really weird that I now get to enjoy a Saturday and a Sunday with my moo and hubby.
We intend to try and fill out weekends doing lots of lovely things as a family. Like going swimming, crafting, the parks, and walks in woods and around lakes.
And today was one of those day I just wanted to share with you all.
We started the day playing in the conservatory. Mainly doing puzzle after puzzle as this is something Martha has suddenly taken a liking to. As she can do them without much help. They are just the wooden ones. Some with numbers and letters other with animals on. I used to have to point to where these go but now she takes her time and figures it out herself. Making me a very proud mummy. (I actually had a lot of these today 🙂 ).
After this I packed up some lunch and we headed to one of our favourite places!! We are very lucky to have locally a RSPB where there are some gorgeous walks around woodland areas and gorgeous scenery. We especially like it here as Martha can just wander along at her own pace with us.
We had our lunch in the sun on the benches. And then once finished made our way off to explore.
Martha loves to pick up sticks as we go. She has one, I have to have one, and daddy also. And we just walk along nicely at her pace. Taking our time and breathing in the fresh air.
The weather today has been glorious which made the walk just perfect. All the leaves are still hanging on, am the Lucky heather was everywhere just so pretty. I picked a little (oooooops naughty me) I just couldn’t resist. I’m going to dry it out and pop it in my kitchen.
Martha has been very clingy to me this week. Which has actually been quite nice. It’s normally Daddy that gets all the cuddles and kisses and attention. But along the walk all she wanted was a carry by me when her legs were tiring. Now for those of you that know me I’m only quite small myself so carrying her is actually quite hard especially now shes getting bigger. But every time she puts her arms up to me I just can’t resist.
Martha is chatting away. Her vocabulary has come on so much this week. Copying literally everything we say. (The time has come to watch what we say!! Oh crumbs!!! Being a good replacement when all I want to do is swear!!!)
But we just love listening to her. Her little voice coming into its own.
When you go for a walk it’s a really nice time to talk. Me and J get to chat about so much and talk to M as we go.
That’s why it’s one of our favourite things to do. And I hope to continue to do this as our family grows.
Once we’d finished our walk. We stopped at great grandma and Granada for a cup of tea. And Martha found Uncle Dans old cars etc. She had a lot of fun playing with these.
.
We then popped to Homebase and Argos. The trips I remember my parents doing on the weekends. And I must say Martha was so good. Held our hands across the roads and listened and did as she was told. It’s moments like these that I look at her and think what a big girl she is getting.
Then it was home for dinner and a play with Daddy.
So all in all a successful day. Can’t wait for another tomorrow.
