Boys summer wishlist

Jackson doesn't really need any new clothes at the moment - most of his bits from last year are still fine and he got quite a bit for his birthday but it doesn't mean that I can't look!!!!

The first place I looked was Zara and I have already bought a few pairs of leggings that I like but the rest I wasn't a huge fan of (I know, crazy seen as I'm normally a massive fan of Zara!). One of my favourite's were these ones: 


I did love these shorts though, they are quite a neutral colour but with a print which makes them a little different:



This one had to be in my list as Jackson would love it! I also love the bright colours so I would be able to spot him in the playground amongst the sea of children. 



Jackson had a similar one last year and loved it! He is definitely the best big bro!!! 



Jackson is a massive Buzz fan. He already has a dress up outfit and a couple of PJ's, so I know he would love to wear this around the pool. Although i'm not sure the white would stay white for very long! 



A friend of mine has always said that she loved Matalan for her little girl but I never found boys bits that I liked. That is until recently, now they have got it going on!!! And the best bit is that it's so cheap as well. This shirt just screams holiday and I may have already bought it, oops! 



And of course, to match I bought some pink shorts, which he looks just adorable in!!! One thing I found was the older boy bits were much better and I couldn't really see much difference in the sizes so brought him the age 4 and they fit him just fine. 



Now this is my type of hat! I love him in a trilby hat and the palm tree design is too cute. 



Where do you like shopping for your little ones?

Open letter to Florences - March 18

Dear Florence, 

This is my first letter to you and I thought that, now you are one, it was about time I wrote to you. 

First of all, how are you already one!? It felt like you were little for a lot longer than Jackson was but at the same time, you seem so grown up now. You have so much character, even though you barely talk, which is fine as I know that you will in your own time. However, when you want something or want to call someone over you just grunt loudly, which is so funny. 

Just like your brother, you are into everything! This time around, at least we have everything already childproofed but if I leave a kitchen cupboard open you are in there like a flash and giggle the entire time knowing that you shouldn't be doing it! 

Music and dancing has to be your favourite thing. As soon as I put any music on you start bopping and grinning. I think your favourite has to be Red Hot Chilli Peppers, which would have made you Grandad very proud. 

I have been working quite a bit recently, so you have spent lots of time with Yaya who, just like with your brother, I am a bit worried you are starting to prefer more than your Dada and I, haha! After the Easter Break, Jackson will be going into pre-school so you will have some real 1-2-1 time with Yaya, which I know that you'll both love! 

Next week we are off on a skiing holiday. We have had lots of snow at home to get you used to it, which at first you hated but not sure if it was because I wrapped you up in loads of layers and made you wear big snow boots. You have definitely started to enjoy it now though and I can't wait to see you both playing in all the snow! 

Keep being your happy, gorgeous little self! 
Love you loads
