There is something really special about going for a walk during winter. I love seeing the frost on the grass and hearing the crunch of the leaves on the ground, especially at this time of year when everything feels fresh and new. We love spending time outdoors as a family and we are lucky that we have so many beautiful parks around us. One of the best things about the age Oliver is at now is that he is taking an interest in everything around him. It's so lovely to be able to see the delight and wonder on his face at the changing scenery. 

Oliver is becoming so independent now which is both amazing and sad. Seeing him explore the world and learn new things everyday makes me feel so proud. But I can't help but miss my tiny little newborn. It seems like since he turned 2 a couple of weeks ago, he has become a proper little boy. 

What activities do you enjoy doing with your family in the winter?

(P.S. I am totally obsessed with this red rain mac, which I purchased here from Topshop)

FAREWELL SUMMER

So the time has come for us to put away our summer clothes and get out our winter coats, and truthfully I am glad. Autumn and winter are by far my favourite seasons, I love Halloween and Christmas especially now we have a toddler to excite with the magic of everything. I am very fickle in my relationship with the sunshine - I enjoy it when I am on holiday and the rare days we get in the UK but anything above 28 degrees is a total no go for me. I hate feeling hot, sweaty, being unable to sleep amongst other things. Trying to entertain a toddler who is grumpy from being roasted for days is not fun either.

Bring it on Autumn!
