It's the simple things.

The simple things in life.

With three children some time's it is hard to keep the all happy at the same time, so my boy's went out with there day for the day yesterday, and i spent some mummy daughter time indoors with my little girl. She two and love's most things so at her age it's easy to keep her occupied. Whilst the boy's went off on there own adventure, it gave me and my daughter sometime to have our own fun!

First thing on the list was cake making: Our first time making cakes together so i opted for something easy and brought the ready boxed cake mix, my daughters choices where the good dinosaur and of course peppa pig, she is a massive peppa fan! after assembling all the extra ingredients and utensils my daughter had a little dance in the front room, like you do! 

All i can say is she had so much fun cracking the eggs and mixing all the mixture together, the little look on her face was priceless she must have felt so big doing it all, i let her have as much freedom as possible! Once the mix was CAREFULLY i use that term loosely lol put in to the cake cases we popped then in the oven, where she sat in front watching her little cakes rise, she was so excited to add the little pictures to the top.  

Being a parent is not always about spending money to make your children happy, they enjoy the time you spend with them, and it makes me feel better as a parent, giving each of them the quality time they deserve, some friends will pay a fortune showing them with new toys and days out to keep there children happy, but not everyone can do that, so the little things can be just as good as long as you put the time and effort in. 

Once our cakes had baked and cooled, it was time to ice them! the best and messy part, again i gave her the freedom of being in control the kitchen looked a bit of a mess after but what's fun with out mess! with our music on and little comments from my daughter " Let's do this" our cakes where finished! the smile on her faces was priceless just seeing how content and happy she was melted my heart, and it cost nothing as i always stock up on cake mixes, then we did the whole process again for our dinosaur cakes which was as much fun as it was first time round! 

My daughter was rather upset that we had made all the cakes and she could no longer lick the spoon, and stir everything together so i put my thinking cap on and decided to make rice crispy cakes, with all the extra Easter eggs we had so while she had some chill time eating her bowl of fruit i melted the chocolate ready for our next batch, once it was ready i called her over, and that little twinkle entered her eyes again "we make breakfast cakes mummy?" the excitement in her voice was indescribable,  after showing her how to do it she was in full swing mixing the cereal in to the melted chocolate! a few ended up in her mouth instead of the cake cases but the best bakers always have a little try first right? So that was batch three complete and in the fridge to set. 

Our next challenge was painting, i love letting children be children and getting mucky and feeling free, so out came the paints and paper, and away she went. I encouraged her to dip her fingers in the paint as well while asking what it felt like, she was not to sure "Mummy you put fingers in to?" and i did as asked, i then pressed her hand in to the paint which she found rather funny "I'm all messy now" i don't think she was so keen on that as she asked me to clean her up pretty fast. 

My whole reason for writing this blog post is to show parents that fun and happiness does not have to cost money, paint can be picked up cheaply enough from local super markets and craft shops, cake mixes as well, the joy and happiness it brought to my daughter said it all she didn't stop talking about it for the rest of the day, and she was so proud to she her brothers what she had achieved while they was out. I will post a few little pictures of our fun together, which i hope you like, she can be a little poser for sure so the simple things really do count! 

I hope you have enjoyed a simple yet fun blog post, and if you have children give it ago it really is fun for everyone! 

Thank you for taking a look

Ms Flow: Subscription Box April 2016.

Ms Flow: Subscription Box!

Hey beautiful's, 

Welcome to the first official post on my new updated blog, I've been sent a very delightful subscription box from the lovely Ms Flow to try and review! 

My first impression was wow, love the design of the box to start with and behind the white and black box is the nicest yellow tissue paper which has you wanting to know exactly whats in side, some come take a look with me. 

The beautiful yellow tissue paper! 

There are many lovely items in side, 

Ms Flow - Grapefruit and Jasmine Soy based candle: Refreshing and calming, scents and burns for up to 10 hours! This smells amazing if i could use a scratch and sniff for you guys i would! I haven't lite it yet because i didn't want to ruin pictures for you all, but i WILL be using it tonight! 

It's super cute and smell divine.

Ms Flow - Anatomicals - Shower to the people lime cleanser: Refreshing cleansing formula scented with a zesty lime, leaving your skin feeling fresh energized and invigorated! This is so delightful i'm a big fan of citrus scented shower gels anyway so when i saw this i was excited to use it! It is very true to words as well it leaves me feeling very energetic, and the scent last for ages! This is in my top ten of zesty shower gels, i use these in the morning to wake my body up and get me ready for the day ahead! 

Such a delightful awakening shower gel! 

Cura - Heat - All day pain relief: Up to 24 hrs of soothing penetrating heat action, to relax and sooth cramps and muscle aches and pains, i'm a big fan of the trusty Cura Heat patches any way i've used them alot before for pulled muscles and a shoulder complaint i have, i must admit i have never tried them for cramps, so i will be giving it a go when it's time, i don't suffer to bad which is lucky. 

24 hr cramp relief perfect for those monthly cramps!  

Bonny Confectionery - Handmade Gourmet Belgian Chocolate Marshmallow Melts: Dip, stir and melt into your favorite coffee or hot chocolate to create a delicious creamy frothy flavorsome topping. Head over to www.bonnyconfectionery.co.uk for 20% off any purchase CODE: bonny20

Again i haven't tried it yet as i'd have nothing to show you! but this is going to be consumed  after my relaxing bath later, I've seen pictures of these on Instagram and i'm so excited to use this in my hot chocolate! i can imagine it tasting so scummy of course you have to be a fan of marshmallow which i am! With mini chocolate flakes on the bottom one this is the ideal pick me up.

How delightful and delicious does this look! 

Divine Chocolate - Caramel milk chocolate: Delicious smooth and creamy milk chocolate with a soft caramel filling. From fairtrade chocolate company which is 44% owned by cocoa farmers: I love the divine chocolate range that sounds like I've tried them all which i haven't but i do love the smoothness of there chocolate, and every girl seems to crave chocolate around there monthly cycle well all the girls i know! Me being one of course i'm not a huge chocolate fan but i am when i'm due on and it always seems to make me feel better and ease the stress. This bar size is perfect for me as i don't want to over load and make myself feel sick! 

Every girl needs a treat once in a while right!

Tea Forte - Oasis Silk Pyramid: This is so cute, (i'm a sap for sweet mini things! ) Luxurious green tea blended with hand picked blossoms and a citrus finish. Naturally high in anti-oxidants a restorative cup providing a respite from the stress of every day life. Steep for 2-4 minuets in hot water- add honey to taste to slightly sweeten if desired. I love green teas and for me i agree it really does de-stress the body making you feel calmer, which is great stress plays a big part in most peoples life's and little things like this really do help and make you feel better about yourself and help you carry on with the chores. It comes in a lovely presented little triangle, and inside is a silk pyramid that smells AMAZING! 

Yogi Tea Organics - Woman's Balance: Delicious light tea with a blend of raspberry, lemon verbena and lavender flower to aid relaxation and balance the natural rhythm of life: As i said i love herbal teas so i'm looking forward to trying this little delight out, i suffer with anxiety attacks so i try a lot of herbal teas to keep me calm, but women do get a lot more stressful  around the time of the month which can throw everything in to a mass panic sometimes, so taking the time to relax and take things slowly if you can is great, i really enjoy herbal teas and do recommend trying them if you haven't before.

Herbal teas really do ease stress, maybe you should try?!

Lord & Berry 20100 - Matte lipstick crayon: Beautiful intense colour, long lasting and hydrating. Velvet feel and comfortable to wear: This is divine! I personally am not a big fan at all of red, but i will be giving this a try, i did test on my hand and it is very smooth to use which is great and a very lovely vibrant red, having this inside Ms Flow box is lovely because every one needs a little pick me up, and when your not feeling your best, and all you want to sit and do is cry or eat junk, these little items will make you feel better about yourself! ( 7805 - Vertige ) 

A lovely little splash of colour!
