All i seem to say here is how busy i am, but i guess that's just real life. With the kids in full swing for their summer break i am spending as much time in the beautiful sun with them. Taking them out to some of my favourite places, places that i grew up and had many lovely summers as a child. Its been so lovely re-visiting these places and taking the children their to experience fun times there too. I hope over this summer to build some glorious family memories, just like the ones i have with my family when i little.
So what does that mean exactly? Well i have nothing today. No outfit photos, no crisp beautiful photos and outfits to show, nope not a thing. To be honest I have been happily living in shorts, vests and sandals mucking around playing with the kids at the beach, or having impromptu water fights. Its been lovely. I am looking forward to acting like somewhat of a lady again and getting back in a pretty dress and heels some time soon, but for now it's been a great break.
Here's a few pics from the past couple of days.
Beach day one:
Barry Island Beach
#ootd consisted of tropical shorts and neon orange vest top.. later that day it also consisted of unexpected sunburn... #beachfail
Day Two:
Trip to The Knap lake and pebbly beach
#ootd again shorts(got these comfy linen black ones in the sale and they are so so lovely on!) and a tribal vest. I did accesorize today with a spike necklace, my trusty aviators and tan and gold gladiator style sandals, but still, basic and simple.

Thank you so much for your kind words Nora.And welcome to the link up, it is wonderful to have you take part!XX
DeleteBeautiful photos! Your kids are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI totally WANT your tropical shorts. Love it with the neon top.
As regards activities with the kids I used to love craft days with my mum during our Summer holidays. I know it was donkey years ago but my 8 years old nephew still enjoys working on a crafty project with his mum and my mum during his Summer holiday (3 months of them!). Ideas are: Painting vases (Ikea have really cheap glass ones) or making beaded jewellery. Just a thought:)
