Our adventure!

That's what I chose to call the Photo Book that I have been allowed to make here http://www.cewefotobog.dk/ and I loved looking through our photos to find the ones I wanted in it. The daddy had a tiny say too but let's be honest, I was to make the photo decisions in the end. It was really easy to make and if it hadn't been I'm afraid I might have given up. Patience is not one of my strong sides, as in... I have no patience.
Well, back to the book. It has a hardcover and the pages are thick enough for me to let the little man and princess look in it unsupervised.... http://www.cewefotobog.dk/fotobog-kvadratisk-format.php
I have chosen photos from our wedding, our honeymoon in Disneyland, uncle and aunty's wedding and a lot more.

This is a review. All the opinions and words are my own.

We're back home.

After 16 days away we're back home. Tuesday night we came back after 8 hours in the car travelling up through Germany. The day before we had tralleved 8 hours as well from Nana and Papa's house in Hertfordshire through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany to our hotel in Essen. I will write another post later with tips on driving long distances with younger children, what works for us that is.

Anyway it's nice to be home again. The weather is warm here but today it has rained all day. Do I dare say I have enjoyed the rain.... We have relaxed inside watching tv and we're nearly (not even close) to be completely unpacked. The princess has lined up all her birthday presents on the floor in her room. The little man has yet to empty his backpack with his holiday stuff. I guess he will when misses what ever toys are in there.

Back to our lovely holiday in England. This year we couldn't have asked for better weather and as we had already planned a 3 day trip to Brighton after the princess' birthday, we were so happy to go there in the heat. We haven't been since I was pregnant with princess so 8 years ago that is, but it was as lovely there as we remembered. The children went swimming, spent their pocket money on all kinds of rubbish, arcade games and a big stripy rock each. We met our good friends and their gorgeous children and spent the day with them. We had fish and chips on the pier and the daddy took the little man and princess up in the big wheel so they could look out over the sea and Brighton. Because we now have the Luggie for me, it was possible for us to go away just the 4 of us. Look below for pictures of our lovely time in Brighton.

In the big pile of post on the kitchen table when we came back Tuesday was this book. I had made it before we left and was to blog about it on my Danish blogs when it arrived. Well, I thought I might as well mention it here too as it is so cool and we just love it. Also with an impatient person like me, when it comes to technical things can make it, everyone can. I made it here and used this format. (just click England at the bottom to change the website to English).

Gummee Glove.....?? No, it's a real word!

It's also a real thing and if I had more babies it would be a must have. Firstly, I absolutely love the name which tells you exactly what it is. Still in doubt...? Click on the picture below and enter the competition. You could be the one, winning one for your little baby. 

I would actually buy one just to be able to say this sentence "want to see a Gummee Glove?" I love funny words and this is one!


(I have recieved no payment to write this. I just love funny words)

Earrings and Top Model drawing books.

Those are books the princess had wished for and her wish was granted... 3 books she got for her birthday! I'm not good enough at drawing to be allowed to have a go, but her moster (aunty) is. So a morning spent at her house was just the best! She came home beaming and with beautifully painted nails as well! Moster is the No 1 at the moment! She took the princess to have her ears pierced just after her birthday. Now there's no way any of us can get the No 1 spot however hard we try. Well, as long as the princess is happy....
Tomorrow moster will have a day with the little man (no, his ears won't get pierced... EVER!) I will take the princess to have her hair trimmed and my own too. That I'm still allowed to do... maybe I'm slowly making my way back to the top...

 

You can make your own lovely free collage here.

Or maybe you'll be the winner of some lovely things from here so make sure you have a look!

Art by children.

Maybe not all of you will call it that. Paintings, drawings etc and a lot of it. Everyday the princess is either drawing, painting, cutting or some other creative activity. Some I hang up and as you can see in the pictures in my previous post, it's hung up everywhere in the house. This is one of my favourites which she drew on her chalkboard. Apperently it's her and her boyfriend but I didn't say that!

There's a sale on here at the moment so it might be a good idea to stock up if you also have creative children!

Scheveningen, Holland.

We went there and loved it! The beach was so lovely and busy. We loved these very cool sculptures. You could climb on them, crawl into them or copy them... They are called 'Fairy Sculptures by the Sea' by artist Tom Otterness.
The weather was amazing which resulted in two very wet children... I do consider myself quite practical and normally always bring extra clothes etc. Well, I forgot so new clothes were bought and everyone was yet again dry!

The little man, with help from the daddy, chose a Spanish kit.... Whereafter we chose to eat dinner at an Italian Restaurant! No wonder the waiters gave us a bit of stick!
We were looking for new sandals as well but didn't find anything. Now we're back home I got my eye on this website.

Long car journey?? Here's some tips for you....

We've just been on a car journey and as I wrote here a couple of weeks before we left, we had bought these dvd players for the car journey. They were used and did their job to keep the princess and little man entertained. It did nothing for them getting an achy bottom from sitting in the car hours at a time though. Well, we did do short stops quite often and every time I told them to shake their bottoms! It did help but looked silly though but who cares. The daddy on the other hand thought he'd put more action into it..... Not a bad idea at all!

It defo helped their achy bottoms so they'd happily sit for hours again in the car. We're back home now and straight away had to start planing the princess' birthday. It's next Friday (20th). She had lots of wishes so we went for the easy way... The internet! All her presents are ordered at Toys'R'us, very easy.

Powerful adverts on TV!

I am not able to watch this without tears rolling down my cheeks....
Just watch her little shiver at the end! Amazing advert, I'll buy their nappies and I don't even have children in nappies anymore....
