Window shopping

Image
It has been raining so when trying to avoid the rain and things I would walk around the shops every so often.... and did some window shopping! Here is what I found! Why do these bunny and chicks things look so damn cute!! or little piggies? By the way have you been to Tiger shop in Cardiff? I love that place! I didn't know I need all these things... well I supposed I don't actually need these things... but aren't they pretty! This window at John Lewis is just dreamy! Want to have one of these for Sir Poops-a-Lot! and one have to prepare for the rugby world cup!!  But I did actually get myself a present. I spotted these in My Little World magazine from awesome My little box. In case you can't see these are beans...bean patterned leggings. How cute are these? Got them from White Pepper. Very cool website with fun clothes, and I got the 10% off from my 1st order. Got to love the discount. Not sure however wha

Wear Yellow for Seth!

I think we are super lucky with Egg. Our delivery was complicated and super traumatic. But our little man is happy and healthy boy...  Some people aren't that lucky!  I came across little Seth story on Facebook, some one shared this video. So here we are wearing yellow!  And now I know for what cause to run... It would have to be for children's hospital.  You can read about this brave little man here!   Seth! You are very brave! Keep up your good work and get better soon xx

love for random chatter

There are so many social media platforms out there.... Like waaay too much. And to keep up with these you will need to have so much free time, perhaps what's why my Pinterest account haven't been updated in months of not years. I actually didn't really get the whole Pinteresnt idea. Just seem like bit too much.... Love the pretty pictures, I guess that's' why I am Instagram obsessed!! Nothing can stop me from Instagraming. Even my baby boy, he is the main theme of my instagram at the moment. So want to see more of handsome little man or more of everyday life follow me on it @verysmallfeet. Wonder if I can copywirte this name?.... However I want to talk about YouTube. The surprising thing I didn't actually know that YouTube is only 10 years old! Mad right, feels like it's been thee forever! I have subscribed to lots of variety of channels, from cooking to crafting. And I love how one can always find a tutorial for pretty much anything. I did my

Baby smiles

I think Edgar started teething when he was about 4 months old... Everything was a chew toy, drool.  There are so many parents around who are having sleepless nights because the little ones are grumpy and in pain. My cousin's little boy had everything, high temperature, diarrhoea on top of sleepless nights.  I was mentally preparing for this since November. And we got some grouchy days when we wanted just cuddles and teething gels. Some nights he would wake up nibbling on his blanket... And no teeth in sight!  So imagine my shock when he smiled at me yesterday showing two little teeth on the way out. One happy baby and one super happy mama!  I don't know if this will be always like this ... One can hope! 

Race DAY!!!

Image
My hubby hates race days... Normally this would mean I would jump out of bed insanely early to get ready. I would be pumped!!!! Aaaaa!!! And then I would drag him out of the house way too early he would complain and he will need to take before and after picture with my shiny new medal, and seconds later giving me a Sneakers to swallow whole since I would be starving! When we moved away from Cardiff I think I only did two races in total and due to circumstances Stephen missed them both. This time the logistics was more complicated, some one must watch little man. We were actually planning to do this race together. The only time we were meant to run together I fell down the stairs a day before my leg and hopping around for next few days. But we are still have Cardiff 10K coming up. We have great friends who love little Edgar and happily volunteers to baby sit. Big big thank you Dickie and Karly for your help!! So my race day was happening. I only singed up for the race on

Home

I went to see Home... The trailer for it looked ever so cute. Dancing alien, dancing purple alien!!! I didn't really pay much attention to the trailer to be perfectly honest and did not know much about the film. I was pleased that they didn't put every funny moment into the trailer. However it took me forever to pinpoint the voices...  Jim Parsons is fab and most people knows him as Sheldon Cooper. I love The Big Bang, even Milky Boy has a Bazzinga onesie. However his O character seems rather like Sheldon Cooper... but alien! I understand that the alien is written this way, but in a way seems that Mr Parsons been cast for his fame is Sheldon! But saying that I know that kids never seen BBT would enjoy Home!  Watching the movie all I could think of is why is there so much Rhianna songs... Then it hit me. Oh she is doing the voice for Tip. Don't know what the writer of this firm smoked to name his leading character Gratuity!!!  Yeah, I don't care for Rhian

This Sunday

Image
Some Sundays are for chilling in your PJ... but this Sunday I am doing the my very 1st race in over a year! I am super pumped!!  It is a 5K run for Stroke association , and even if I am not fundraising I am however raising the awareness. I only tend to run for a good cause.  Speaking of good cause, I have actually agreed to walk the three peak challenge... This time it is actually close to home, since it is in support of Lupus charity and one of our friends is in need of more research on this disease to hopefully improve her life!  I am aiming at 30 min mark at this 5K. Not pushing my self too hard, even if I can run 5K with ease now. I do not think I am fit enough to beat my old PB on that one of 28mins. In fact I do not normally do 5K... I have literally signed up to do this on Monday and the race day is Sunday. Koodos to the organisers, got my race pack today!  I didn't actually know there was a run on. Only by chance that I saw the banner advertising it

Food glorious food!

Superfoods.... well I also got excited about quinoa and kale...  Although quinoa might be a bit boring. Frankly I am not very sure what to do with it but trial and error I guess.  First things first, as you know I am a big fan of Kym Non-Stop... and that girl loves kale! Here is a video to prove it. It's just too funny! I have massaged some kale... and made a fun salad. I loved it, hubby not so much.  To make my fun and healthy salad you will need Kale Smoked Mackerel Orange  Lemon Half a bulb of Fennel (medium size) Cooked and cold quinoa Some seeds for crunch Olive Oil  Salt Massage some kale with salt, lemon juice and olive oil. It will make it tender and lovely. Just watch out if you have any cuts on the hands. It'll sting!! Chop up the fennel. Peel and cup up orange. Flake the mackerel.  Now assemble this bad boy. I have layered all the ingredients starting with quinoa, kale, fennel, orange, mackerel and sprinkle some s

decoupage

I always was intrigued by decoupage. And I used to think it is a hard craft. I suppose everything is hard when you don't know...  So with Eggy man going to sleep at 7pm I have evening to do things. This time I finally crafted something. So I picked up this plate in charity shop ages ago. I needed a key bowl.  Since then I found a much cooler and prettier glass and actually singed one so this one was going for the bin. And thought came to me, maybe I can do something with it. Make it more.... je ne sais quoi!  I actually had to get it out of the bin. My own bin, don't freak I wasn't dumpster diving or anything...  I have started by just painting it all black with acrylic paint, so it looked less African revival, but there is nothing I could do with little ridges. But hey it's my 1st time up-cycling. Then I couldn't find my massive jar of PVA glue, drama with moving and still unpacking! But thanks crafts for Tiger shop. Have you not been to one?

hello!

Hello, I am not AWOL... I am really busy with this one... Look how he grown! Mother's day is on Sunday... I think I should come with terms that this little monkey will call me mum, so I can accept this. But yet still I don't feel like all these mummies around. I am special bread of mummy not the conventional type.  Motherhood is fun and amazing. But also time consuming and exhausting.... I would not change it for the world!  So hopefully with this regime form me as well as from Edgar I will be able to blog more and more!
