I had the best weekend I’ve had in ages… you know when you just can’t stop thinking about it despite how rubbish the following week is turning out to be?
Saturday I did a little shopping (just a little) and picked up some drugstore UK brands for a friend in the U.S. and perhaps a couple for myself too (but don’t tell anyone). Then I hit Primark with all the gusto of someone with £20 burning a hole in their back pocket. Bargain-a-rama. Biscuit making and a round of catch the pigeon with Leila made for an alltogether exhausting afternoon!
Sunday was a beautifully lazy day spent in our local park (L loves the mini train!), cooking roast dinner and bread & butter pudding, playing with another WnW palette, talking to my Mum in France and generally being idle. Bliss!
Some photos from my weekend (apologies for the food overload!)…
Did I mention Leila inally gave up the dodie too? I told her the new baby down the road (there isn’t one) was crying because he didn’t have any dummies and that now L was a big girl… could she give him hers? She wasn’t sure…
We put all five of her dodies in a fancy Jo Malone box (she would settle for nothing less) along with some ribbon and tissue paper. Sealed the box with a big kiss and Mummy disappeared up the road (round the block twice) before returning with another box. Leila was confused until I explained it was a present from the baby who was so pleased with his new dodies. Leila opened the box to find a new pink and yellow toothbrush, so searingly obnoxious in colour she could do nothing but fall in love.
We brushed her teeth 4 times yesterday. My clever, brave girl.
Hope you all had good weekends too, bring on the next one!
Oh my days, those are the most pinchable cheeks in the world! And I’m not talking about the pigeon.

I love LOVE this post. Two things though:
You NEVER need apologise for food pics. Hellooooooo?!
And
Keep that gorgeous child away from me – it’s bad for my broodiness and I want to bite those cheeks.
(In a non-harmful way)
GORGE.

Delightful clicks! You and Leila seem to glow when you’re together. That idea for the dummies is nothing short of brilliant… you should post it on Mum Street. I wonder if something similar would work for my son’s before-bed bottle?
