Our weekend was a good one though. Grace and I went and bought Paul’s birthday present, we pottered around the house (I managed to put up some cute wall decals in Sophie’s nursery) and yesterday morning, the four of us spent an hour wandering around a local fair. Grace loved the baby animals (she was a little too affectionate with the animals though, trying to pick them up or bear hug the poor things!!) and I bought a cute dress for Sophie which I’ll keep aside for her first birthday or Christmas (it was from Lalaland Design who sells at the Fremantle Markets and has an Etsy store). However, not a lot else on my to-do list seemed to get crossed off.
Today, we’re having one of those days where we don’t venture too far from home – tidying up (why does our house always look so messy after the weekend?), doing washing and just taking each hour as it comes. Grace and I have just made a new batch of play dough which is keeping her busy so while she’s happy sculpting ‘frogs and lily pads’, I’m off to calm down Sophie who I can hear protesting from her cot and then to hopefully make a dent in my chores for today.
Hope you all have a lovely start to the week…
Sounds like the perfect day to take it easy (and perfect stay at home weather too!) Hope tomorrow is better Xx
ReplyDeleteI hope your day gets better Amanda! And a big thank you for the lovely messages you have left on my blog. It is very thoughtful of you and always makes me smile xo

Lets just write today off shall we... blah ; )
ReplyDeleteOh I think we all have those days!! Hang in there...hopefully tomorrow is better :) How is Sophie's sleeping normally? Ryder is shocking! Still wakes up to 7 times a night! And only has 20-35 min naps during the day! I'm so tired! The joys! I love that outfit you bought...so so cute!

ReplyDeleteOh Sweetheart. Hang in there. Just start again tomorrow. You know the drill. J x
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you need to give yourself a bit of a break in the expectations area! It doesn't matter if you have an off day occasionally, don't beat yourself up over it! The chores can wait for another day, or at least for half an hour while you put your feet up for a quick spot of 'you time'
ReplyDeleteHope tomorrow's a better day x
Oh those days! I'm hoping you had a better start to your Tuesday, lady. If not, just think of the extra long weekend just around the corner :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that dress is just too cute. What a lovely find...I'm already thinking about Saskia's 1st birthday too...in October! Crazy x
That's why chocolate was invented - for days like that! Hope your week improves x
ReplyDeleteI hope your week is progressing a little better than yesterday Amanda! I love the little dress you picked up for Sophie, I have bought my girls a few dresses from Lalaland Design over the last couple of years. I love their little stall at the markets. They seem to source some really different fabrics and have some gorgeous designs. Just so pretty.x.
ReplyDeleteI have more of those days than I care to admit to... tiredness really does it to me. Hope you are feeling better today lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteI do hope that the day got better for you sweetie:) A day at home always helps to deal with those off days. I like the sound of playing with playdough:) xx
