Sometimes life takes a toll and you have to set aside some things and this is one of those but I guess everything happens for a reason as I think it’d be lovely to have a summer post of what we loved to look back on, don’t you think?

Mums Birthday
Since starting work, I felt like I didn’t spend enough quality time with my Mum. You know, just me and my Mum (of course A too!) so for her birthday, I told her well in advance that she would be spending the entire day with me, we had such a lovely time and made lovely memories I’ll cherish forever.
Chair person
There has been a committee created at work that oversees new work and development in the Child Health area and takes on board ideas which can be anything from improving quality of work space to educating mothers on important issues and guess what? I was one of the persons nominated and voted to be Chair person which proves that no matter what your job role (I’m an admin amongst the other specialists) you can be influential.
Wedding Anniversary
On Saturday 24th August, the husband and I, celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary by going on a date! Our first date in more than 2.5 years – long story short, we find it difficult doing anything without our baby girl so I guess this was a big step for us even though we did end up talking about her
and wishing that she was with us too!

Walthamstow Wetlands
It was a hot summer’s day, the husband was at work and I wasn’t feeling too great but what do children know? They just want to live in the moment and have fun and why not?!
Thankfully, my brother came to the rescue and took A out
with the family to the wetlands where she had a wonderful time.

Baby Annabelle
So when I was A’s age my parents for Eid got me the Baby Annabelle doll that talks so for Eid this year my Mum took out that same doll and gave it to A. It has
been amazing to see A play with my doll and I am so
grateful that my Mum has kept all of my toys – A
absolutely adores it!
Chad Valley’s Mega Blocks
I bought these blocks for A on Eid and a month has passed and they still are a major hit! They have not only help to promote independent play but also creativity in A, she loves building towers and put her little In The Night Garden characters on them. One of the best purchases of the year so far if I’m being honest!

Eid
We had 2 summer Eids this year, I full well remember Eids as a child in Winter and it’d be pouring down with rain. I’m so glad A is getting to experience it in the summer months. We had wonderful time with the family – the best thing about any celebration other than the presents is the quality time being able to spend with each other.
Edinburgh
We had our first family holiday to Edinburgh, although A ended up unwell, we did make a lot of wonderful memories to cherish. I’m in the middle of writing about our adventures in Edinburgh and the first instalment is already up if you’re interested!
English Heritage
In March, I bought myself and the husband English
Heritage memberships and so far it has proven to be the best thing ever. Honestly, I believe that having a membership encourages you to make an effort and go out.
We have been to Dover Castle, Walmer Castle, Deal Castle, Tilbury Fort, Stonehenge and Audley End House and Gardens so far with many more to come. Our little A has been enjoying exploring through History and visiting new places too.
Friendships
My lovely friend of 15+ years came for a visit. A was meeting her after nearly a year but instantly they shared a beautiful bond which was amazing to see and we all had a lovely time.

What have been your highlights of the summer?
Ahh happy wedding anniversary my darling! Wishing you and your husband many more years of happiness together!
Love, Amie ❤

It sounds like you've had a lovely summer, and English Heritage membership is on my wishlist for Christmas as we have so many fantastic venues near us. You're right, kids do just live for the moment, we can learn a lot from them! And happy wedding anniversary too 🙂 Lisa x
