FASHION: SUNDAY STROLLS



JUMPER: PRIMARK
JEANS: NEW LOOK
RINGS: PANDORA
BRACELET: PANDORA
BOOTS: TRUFFLE
COAT: H&M

We went for a lovely Sunday stroll yesterday. We took Amelia to our local park, we had a nice stroll around the duck pond, she was asleep (obv) but it was a lovely way to spend our Sunday afternoon. We went to my moms for our sunday dinner

I'm so in love with this jumper from Primark, it's such a gorgeous colour and I love the lace detailing and it was a bargain when it scanned through at £5. I bought some new black jeans, these are the supersoft super stretch jeans from New Look. My maternity jeans are now too big but i'm not back down to my pre-pregnancy size so needed to grab a new pair. These boots are old but they are really sturdy and i've seen studded boots have made a comeback

It was bright today but very chilly so I popped my H&M coat on, I'm super excited for the summer.
I can't wait for picnics and walking Amelia around the park in the sun.

I'm hoping to be back blogging more regulary and now the weather is brightening up I will drag Clint out to take some more outfit photos, even if they are just of my comfy mom outfits.








REVIEW: GO APE CANNOCK



A few weeks ago I was invited along to Go Ape in Cannock, I've wanted to go to Go Ape for so long so I was super excited to go along!  I went along with Clint, My mom and My moms friend.

We arrived at Cannock chase and parked the car, i've never been to Cannock chase before, it's a big massive park / woods with loads of space for picnics, bike trails, walking so we will be going there again in the summer. We headed over to the Go Ape hut and got signed in.

We were then taken through a safety demo and the staff got us into our harnesses and ready for the day. We had to each demonstrate what we had been taught on a small course and got to have a practice using the equipment.

Once the team were happy we were left to our own devices to make our way through the courses, the team were never far away and were on hand if we needed any assistance at all.

We made our way through the course which is up in the trees, it's high but not too high and you
 feel really safe with your harness on and you are always attached to something. We had to climb up ladders, make our way across tiny walkways, around trees, swing from tree to tree and to get down to come down a zip wire which is really fun, they also have Tarzan swings where you swing into a net which is also really good.

If your not a fan of heights but not petrified or not too sure if you could handle it they do have a junior course which is smaller but Clint is quite scared of heights and did it without any fuss at all. I would say it's worth giving it ago if your unsure because you are adrenaline fueled and its just so much fun.


I wasn't too sure what to expect but we had such a good day, all the staff (especially Phil at Cannock) were amazing, we had an amazing experience and would love to do it again!










* We were invited along to Go Ape for free,  I have not been paid for this post. This is an honest post and my own words and opinions.

LIFESTYLE:OUR FAVOURITE HIDDEN GEM -ELMDON PARK


Is it just me or do you love to jump in the car and go on an adventure. Sometimes we like to go on a long journey like to weston for the day but sometimes we get in the car and drive round to our Local parks. We have a few that are not too far away from us, our favourite has to be Elmdon Park. It's a park and local nature reserve with lots of hills and amazing views.  The park is surrounded by industrial estates and Land Rover it's tucked away in the middle which I love. 

We tend to drive round to Elmdon park as it's a little bit far to walk. We love going for walks around the park, especially this time of year when it's crisp and we like to wrap up in our hats and coats and go for a nice stroll. There's a lake and streams which are so lovely, and freeze up and look so pretty this time of year and there's lots of wildlife there. 
There's lots of grass and there's paths and walks so there's lots to do, you can take the family and play some footy or walk the dogs. Because the park is a good distance from where we live I like jog there and then do some sprinting in the park and then I jog home again. It's always really calm and there's lots of hills, paths and benches(for me to rest haha) 

In the spring when the weather warms up a little we like to drive round to the park with a picnic and blanket and a portable speaker and just chill at the park and relax. The park has a safe car park which is actually by a church but be careful if you plan on leaving your car all day, make sure you remove any valuables from the car. Make sure your car is insured if your car gets broken into. https://www.chill.ie/car-insurance/ have competitive prices and have lots of info on their website, their blog is also a great read. They are bringing out an Ebook which has Ireland's hidden drives which sounds like a good read if you plan on visiting Ireland or you live there and like to explore. We go on little strolls around the park. It's better in the summer when it's really hot and we can spend all day just chilling out. 

Wheres your favourite place to drive to? Do you have a hidden gem like ours?
