This Little Big Life: Lily's First Glastonbury

This Little Big Life is a weekly link-up started by Sarah and Louise - all about capturing the little moments which make up a big life from the previous weekend.


Saturday was all about the Kidzfield at Glastonbury Festival, playtimes and rhymetimes, snoozing through Art Garfunkel and Adele, and mud, lots and lots of mud.

 

 

Sunday was all about resting after two late nights (watching Muse on Friday and Adele on Saturday), a bit of playing and a lot of hosing down the pram.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 21st May

The last of the photo an hour catch-up posts (which I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear!), May's date fell on Saturday 21st.


Here's what the day looked like...


10am - Photo an hour started a bit late that day as 6am in the morning saw a poorly baby who was being sick and taking no interest in feeding. A quick call to 111 told us to take her to A&E (because she was under 6 months) to be checked over. They said everything was fine and it was probably a stomach bug and by 9.30am she fancied a feed again and then slept long enough to drive home via a stop at McDonalds for breakfast :-)

11am - Starting to feel a little bit better...

12pm - But still very sleepy.

1pm - Definitely feeling perkier now!

2pm - Last of the antibiotics from having mastitis at the beginning of the month.

3pm - Catching up with some TV (Hinterland, yay!) while the little one was sleeping.

4pm - Snack time :-)

5pm - And back to our local hospital for a follow-up appointment after the morning (she was fine!).

6pm - After the drama of the day, neither of us felt like cooking...

7pm - Dinner time for Lily too.

8pm - Tea!

9pm - And just before bedtime, a beautiful rainbow!

Jane rounded up all the photo an hour people over on her blog...

An A-Z of Me - X

Bit of a difficult one, X, the only thing I could think of was:

X-rays - In my 33 years, I've broken my left wrist, right wrist (thankfully not at the same time) and my right ankle so I've had rather a lot of them!


What 'X' things sum you up?

This Little Big Life: Father's Day & Raspberries

Even though I don't get round to commenting on many blogs nowadays, I do still read an awful lot of them. One of my absolute favourites is run by the truly lovely Sarah over at Sarah Rooftops.

A few weeks ago I noticed herself and another blogger, Louise from Squished Blueberries (a new-to-me blog) had started a new link called 'This Little Big Life' - all about capturing the little moments (which make up a big life) from a weekend with the post going live the following Friday. That sounded like a lovely idea so I thought I'd join in.


Saturday was fairly quiet with a bit of TV watching and a bit of unpacking from our week in Cornwall. The big news was that someone learned to blow her version of a raspberry.



Sunday was Andrew's first Father's Day. I dressed Lily in an OTT 'Daddy' top, presents were handed over and we went for a drive ending up at a McDonald's (Andrew's choice!).

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 23rd April

April's photo an hour fell on Saturday 23rd - a fairly average day at home.


Here's what the day looked like...

8am - Excited to be listening to Radio 2's Sounds of the Sixties!

9am - Attempting to knock the toy off the edge of the ring (whilst we were cooking breakfast!).

10am - Setting TV timers (and making sure we don't miss the new series of one of our favourite programmes).

11am - Why do babies always have the best prints and designs?

12pm - Feeding time...

1pm - And now sleepy time!

2pm - Off to visit Nannie and Grampy.

3pm - Household chores.

4pm - Back from her walk and clearly very hungry!

5pm - Catching up with one of my favourite magazines (which has sadly been discontinued, boo!)

6pm - Prepping dinner.

7pm - Watching TV whilst dinner's in the oven.

8pm - Dinner is served!

9pm - And lastly, someone decided to fall asleep on me so we stayed like that for a while and then went to bed!

 

I was supposed to be rounding up that month's photo an hour-ers but a week later I ended up in hospital with mastitis that developed into an abscess (lovely) and ended up spending pretty much the whole month of May on antibiotics and painkillers. On her blog, Jane very helpfully rounded everyone up in my absence!
