Little Shoes

It is no secret that I LOVE shoes!  I have a lovely little collection, which are rarely worn these days, due to the impracticality of the heels.  My daily shoe wardrobe now consists of the low-heeled variety.

Pram, what pram?

Before having Poppy, I never noticed prams.  Now, I find myself looking twice at every pram that rolls by – I have even become adept at recognising various brands (Phil & Ted’s, Bugaboo’s and Mountain Buggies) from afar.  I think my husband even notices prams now too! Another surprise I have noticed is the little smile

Poke that tongue out Poppy!  In the past couple of days, Poppy has become obsessed with poking her tongue out whilst making this cute noise.  Her expressions are so varied, I just hope these photos capture her ever changing ‘communication’!  

Spring Washing

It’s funny how excited I get about “a good drying day”.  Spring is here and I do love hanging out the washing, knowing it will dry!  I think I need to get out more!! Poppy and I have spent time out in the garden this morning doing some pruning.  It is so nice to see
