2010 it was a fast year, the fastest so far in my life, here’s a whistle stop review, a reminder for me of a great & busy year …
January, February, March:
This blog had its new look for a new year in January 2010. Baby G started the year just 10 weeks old, a real baby baby not the 14 month old bum shuffling supremo that can say a few words started 2011! We headed to Centre Parcs in February and we had that much of a good time we’re going back in May for a full week. In March we headed off to Egypt, our first family holiday abroad and it rocked! End. Of.
April, May, June:
In April I posted my most popular Vlog – how to sterilise in a hotel bathroom, it pleases me a lot *warm fuzzy feeling* that this seems to help lots of people with the same anxiety I had – it’s simples! We celebrated Lil H’s third birthday Toy Story Stylie. In May we headed South for a long weekend catching up with friends in London town. I started posting with The Gallery prompts and themes and discovered lots of new and great blogs. We also discovered the Legoland Discovery Centre which we visited three times in 2010!
July, August, September:
In July we enjoyed a great holiday in Cornwall. Then I went solo as a parent for six weeks – 24/7 x 6. We lived, although I drank A LOT of wine – so much wine in fact the bottles got embarrassing and I had to switch to wine boxes (they go out with the paper & cardboard you see!) Sian and Nova understand 😉 To celebrate the end of Summer we headed to Majorca for a week, which was out of Centre Parcs, Egypt and Port Isaac my favourite holiday of the year – I shall remember it well as it will be a good while before we manage another holiday. When we returned Lil H started at his new Pre-School.
October, November, December:
October was a big milestone for a certain Baby G the BIG ONE! I also “went back to work” I work for myself which is the reaosn for the ” ” LOL! This means I started working to get work to work and it was tough but now as I write this in early January 2011 I feel it is starting to pay off, I have clients and work which I really enjoy. The juggle is hard, really hard but it is the right approach for our family at the moment. I had some mummy time off and went to London to The Baby Show and to Brighton to #twineup with lots of my great Twitter Buddies – Bec, Hannah, Nudie, Amy, Sarah … I can’t wait for the replay girlies 😉 Then it was Halloween, Fireworks, my Birthday and Christmas – we had a lovely Christmas – great for not doing a lot other than playing toys. I can totally recommend eating Christmas Dinner when the kids have gone to bed!
And then it was 2011! Wishing you all a fantastic year ahead.
