[AD] This year has been full of changes, we’ve homeschooled, we’ve worked from home (and still do) and as a result, we have spent more time in the house than we have out. It’s been no surprise that our monthly utility bills have increased over that period.
With our rising bills we wanted to see how easy it would be to reduce our bills and be more in control of our energy usage by switching to a smart home with one of the UKs leading smart home providers @HiveHomeUK. Combined with our Amazon Echo devices we have fully automated the lights in our home with Hive Dimmable Lights. They can be dimmed, set on timer, switched on/off via the app and respond to voice commands through Alexa.
You can find out more ways a smart home with Hive can benefit you in my blog post (link in bio)

And just like that, Little Legs is 10!
⁣
I can't believe that she is double digits already. Our beautiful, funny and caring little girl has been in our lives for a whole decade ❤️

#HappyBirthday #10YearsOld

I say the same thing every year but it only feels like yesterday that we brought Little Legs home from the the hospital. Tomorrow she will be a whole 10 years old, a decade of our lives being parents to the most amazing little girl ❤️

• August Favourites •
⁣
Over the past few months I’ve found myself trying new things when my regular items weren’t available. In the process there have been a few products that have become firm favourites.
⁣
1. Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food: during lockdown I did my hair dirty and bleached it. Im learning to deal with the hot mess that I have created and have been using these to help revive my dry & damaged hair.
⁣
2. Nip + Fab Salicylic Fix Pads Day & Night: These are an old favourite of mine that I have recently rediscovered. They are honestly my favourite skincare product for dealing with hormonal breakouts. I always find myself drifting back to use them over other products.
⁣
3. Lacura Healthy Glow Glycolic Toner: This little gem was a impulse purchase that has soon made its way into my daily skincare regime.
⁣
4. Layering Lab Body Mist: These are perfect for keeping in my gym bag and smell amazing. I have them in all the scents and they smell amazing. (Some have very similar scents to well known perfumes, Sorbet is very much like Viktor & Rolf Bon Bon)
⁣
5. Animal Crossing: I won’t lie, during lockdown, I got sucked into the world of Animal Crossing and I have been hooked ever since.
⁣
6. Solait Tanning Water Mousse: with no holidays this year, I’ve resorted to a tan from a bottle over the summer months. This has secured its place as my favourite tanning product because it not only applies well, looks great & smells nice but it doesn’t break the bank either!
⁣
Have you discovered any favourite products over summer? I’m looking forward to the colder months and seeing what new products make their way into my routine.

☀️☀️We made it one whole week of school before the whole drama of COVID testing began. It’s certainly been quite the experience. We are now glad to be enjoying a calm afternoon in the sunshine before it’s back to chaos of the school run tomorrow. ☀️☀️

Autumn is no doubt my favourite time of year and I’m ready for those crisp autumn days and cosy evenings BUT I’ll admit I’m enjoying this sudden burst of warm weather again. It’s been a funny old summer all round so I’m making the most of the last few days of sunshine.
We’ve had Little Legs at home this week, and are waiting on a negative COVID test before she can return to school, I guess this is our new normal now and I’m not sure that I like it.

Back to School with @justhypeofficial 📚🍎
This year has been full of changes. One of them being that Little Legs seems to have gone from a little girl to tween over night. She’s now fashion conscious and tells me that she’s “too old to be wearing that”. This year @justhypeofficial have ticked all the boxes with their range, we didn’t have any arguments when picking out back to school items and little legs is absolutely thrilled with her choices.

Little legs picked out

• Hype Mint Holographic Backpack
• Hype Fade Kids Puffer Jacket

Be sure to check out the Just Hype website, we love the Lucky Dip offers.

Little Legs suffers from anxiety, some days she manages to keep it under control but with all that is going on in the world, COVID and returning to school, her anxiety has ramped up tenfold.

@lifestrongkids asked if we like to review one of their subscription boxes aimed at children’s mental health and well-being and we jumped at the chance. It couldn’t have come at a better time.

Over the last week, we have worked out way through the box and Little Legs has thoroughly enjoyed every activity from foraging for leaves & conkers to make a nature crown to discussing all the positives going on in the world right now. It’s been just what she needed to help settle her anxiety before returning to school this week.
