WELCOME TO ITSTHEDADBOD

Summer has well and truly started. The sun is shining, the birds and singing and the icecream is calling my name. The last week has been...

Even though we're still in lockdown, it's cold and wet, we still get out for a walk as often as we can. On the weekend we enjoy going...

Here we go again. There's a famous quote that goes “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting...

This year especially we made sure to stick to some of our family traditions, old and new.

Family, Friends and Fun, life doesn't get much better.

We weren't sure what to do this weekend and with the weather turning all rainy and grey we thought we would be stuck inside.

Sundays are fast becoming our favourite day. Family, fun and good food.

Phew the whirlwind 3 weeks of birthdays are over but that doesn't stop us from continuing to enjoy some fun family time.

Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl. I can't believe she's already a year old. This year has been the weirdest, craziest, and most...

We even braved the beachfront and got a delicious ice cream. That's when I rocked Pais world.

This weekend we celebrated our 7 anniversary and Olive had her first ever sleep over at her grandparents.

We had some delicious BBQ packs from the local butcher and I was absolutely stuffed. I also had a few cheeky cocktails in the sun.

Who else is ready to get active and happy to see sports slowly coming back?

We try to encourage as much messy play as possible and encourage her to explore her surroundings wherever and whenever we can.

It makes me so happy to see our daughter growing up and smiling. We can't wait to get back to normal life.

We went on a long wark down to the local park on the weekend which was nice to see some different scenery

What makes you happy? What makes you smile? Do your best to stay positive and grateful for everything you have.

...next week we have decided to try giving each other an hour a day alone to do some sort of yoga, relaxation or unwind time of sorts

We then spent the day yesterday tidying out the shed otherwise known as the "Baren Bar" so we could start using the bar and the outdoor area

I'm going to keep pushing myself to be better and be more disciplined!
