Loving a clean & tidy wardrobe again ...makes such a difference 😁💕 Have a fab Friday night folks 💕😁

Did you see my Summer ☀️ ‘haul’ video on my YouTube last week? Don’t fear😁 - I did a MASSIVE declutter to make space for all my new bits and said an emotional good bye to some well loved threads ! 😂 In the video I take you through my declutter process, some top tips on how to tackle clothes & reasons why you should say good bye to some items ✅🤗👋 Do give it a watch & let me know what you think...

Hands up who finds the hours of 3:30 - 5:00pm THE most stressful part of the day 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ Always such a mission - quick tidy, prep lunches, make dinner, kids are tired, hungry ... I’m tired & hungry ... always worth it when bedtime rolls round and the house is sorted ... but boy am I worn out 🤪😂😴 (picture NOT taken tonight)

What a beautiful day ☀️... my only regret is getting the sand pit out 😂🏖⛔️ Anyone else hate sand?

Woohoo my save the bees kit arrived from @friends_earth - packed full of info all about our lovely 🐝 friends & how we can help them. It comes with an identification guide which will be a nice activity to do with 👧🏼 once all our lovely flowers bloom. Now we have just got to wait patiently for our wildflower seeds to grow 🌱🤞🌸. (Kit comes free when you make a donation 😍✅)

(Ad - own business) Do you love 🐝s? Help support 500 of them by purchasing a jar of organic All Over Balm from the Bee Lovely range. - Use this luxurious balm on dry elbows/feet/knees, as a cuticle softer, add a touch to dry hair ends, make a lip scrub (just add a little brown sugar. Sweet! It’s multiple uses make it the ideal holiday product. - #savethebees

AD - Gifted - WOW ! We built this @woodblocx raised bed kit ourselves in ONE day ! 🤭 Logical instructions, thick chunky blocks, minimal tools and skills required and it fits my garden perfectly. I am super excited to get growing 🐝🌱🌸 ... The hardest part was filling it 🤪 3 tonnes of soil with one VERY old wheelbarrow. Who wants a tour of what I’ve planted ? 🙋🏼‍♀️

AD- gifted - Puppy prison, toddler playpen, mud digging pit ... the garden build this weekend allowed for lots of imagination play 😂👶🏼👸🏼🐶🐶😰 . Our raised bed kit from @woodblocx was built, filled & planted up over the weekend. I’ll be sharing tomorrow how we built it (minimal DIY skills needed...🔨) & the finished result 😁 I’m honestly blown away at the professional, high quality look & feel - no one would guess that we built this ourselves in such a short space of time with the kids and 2x puppies running around. The timber used is sustainably sourced here in the UK, is treated with a water based preservative (perfect for safe organic veg growing) & comes from a zero waste manufacturing plant here in the UK. The plastic dowels are made from recycled plastic and any spares can be returned to be reused by @woodblocx ✅🌱🤗🐝 🌳 (*puppy not included🐶)

Blood, sweat, tears ... lots of swearing and the ultimate test of our marriage, patience & communication skills to date ... 🤪 Building this mini city glasshouse pushed us TO THE VERY EDGE ... Looks lovely though 😂👌😍🐝🌱💁🏼‍♀️

This is a picture of our garden when we moved in 2 years ago- a very typical 8m x 8m new build garden, a totally blank canvas. - 1st year - we extended the patio, added a playhouse, planted 3x trees & a small flower bed along the back fence area. I was🤰and had baby in July so gardening took a bit of a back seat. - 2nd Year - We extended the planting area & added some patio planters. Rosie 🐶 came along in the summer so again my focus was on other things😂. - 3rd Year - After spending lots of time in the garden & working out what we want from the space we are finally all systems go! The last couple of weeks we have been moving and preparing for a large raised planter along the back fence. I have researched & gathered lots of exciting plants & herbs to start my new garden 😁👩🏼‍🌾🐝🌱🌸

We headed to the @secretherbgarden last week 🌱 It’s such a unique place - they sell a huge array of wonderful herbs & edible flowers that you don’t find in a standard garden centre - I was in my element! I decided on - pink lavender, borage, strawberry mint, lemon balm, chamomile, chocolate peppermint & marshmallow 🌸🌱🌈🐝 I am looking forward to getting these all positioned & planted in our new raised bed this weekend 😁

Last year I grew carrots, rocket & lettuce in this handy trough. It was so nice having fresh salad leaves, and I was amazed how easy it was. I’ve planted some seeds which are just starting to sprout, I’ll be transplanting them into the new veg patch when they are big enough 💕👌🌱 LOVING this easy to follow book too - which is giving me lots of handy hints and tips on how to have veg all year round 💪👩🏼‍🌾 *AD - Book & Grow Table are linked in my Amazon Store ✅
