Have you ever had that experience of not realising how much you needed something until you're actually in the moment itself?
That's what this holiday was to us.

I think it's pretty safe to say that today has been the saviour of this holiday.
No, but really.
All thanks to good old Mr sunshine making his appearance.
It's sad really isn't it, that the state of the weather has to determine whether or not we have a good time. & normally it wouldn't really, especially as we're put on waterproofs and stomp in alllll the puddles kind of people. But on this holiday the weather quite simply has determined the state of our days. And thankfully, today was a good one.
Filey Diaries Day 4
Thursday, 30 March 2017
It's been such a slow start to the day again. I wish I could say that because we're on holiday it's different and we're up and raring to go each morning but actually we didn't leave the cottage till about 1 o clock again. It's my fault really, I'm usually the one getting everyone up and out of the house but I just feel so damn poorly. The energy isn't there at all, holiday or not.
Archers general mood has been getting me down a lot this trip, too. I feel like I can't write these little diaries without mentioning it because honestly, and annoyingly, it's probably one of the main things I'll remember about this particular holiday. He's just SO miserable. I don't know what's wrong and I don't know how to fix it and I hate that.
Filey Diaries Day 3
Wednesday, 29 March 2017
So, we're in Filey for the week, woo! I naively didn't set any posts to schedule whilst I'm away, thinking I could post as I went along. Ha. I think I had it in my head that I could sit down in the cottage of an evening whilst the kids are in bed and write a day by day account of what we've been doing. ... definitely naive as it hasn't happened that way at all! Everything about this holiday so far has been a bit of an epic fail I have to say.
Today my daughter is back at preschool.
Today I have the mother of all migraines.
Today, I'm dreaming of yesterday.

We go to Sundown every christmas, it's become a bit of a tradition. Sundown go all out at christmas which is what I really like and I always come away from it feeling really festive. Last year when we took Lily she was excited yes, but still a bit too young to understand the whole christmas theme. This year though she absolutely LOVED it and was in awe at everything she saw and it made for the most magical day.

So our little getaway before baby arrives was only a week ago but strangely enough it actually feels like 6 months ago! It's been such a hectic week since being home, with so much pregnancy drama, that I'd do anything to go back to that lovely little lodge for a few more days.
It was really important to me that James, Lily and I got to spend some time away together before the craziness of having a new baby kicks in. I'm really concious that Lily only has a limited amount of time left as an only child and I really want her to enjoy her last few weeks of having mummy and daddy to herself. I also wanted us to enjoy being able to put all our attention on her before we have to start dividing our time up between the two of them!
Our Last Getaway As A Family Of Three
Saturday, 12 December 2015
Last week we stayed at a Natural Retreats lodge in the Yorkshire Dales and we had the most amazing time. Natural Retreats provide award winning self catering family log cabins across a number of beautiful destinations in the UK (as well as Ireland, Scotland, Wales and even the US). It really was the most peaceful place I've ever stayed and we couldn't have picked a better choice for our last getaway before baby #2 arrives.
I've decided to split our getaway into two posts. One post reviewing the lodge itself so I can give it the justice it deserves and another talking about what we got up to during our time there, so look out for that post in a few days!
Plus if I'm honest, I took too many photos to fit into one post haha.

How We Spent Lily's Third Birthday
Wednesday, 4 November 2015
This weekend we went to visit 'Forbidden Corner' in Leyburn, North Yorkshire and I really wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was.
I didn't know much about the place before we went but coincidentally we actually picked the perfect time to go what with it being near Halloween because it's spooky as!

Sometimes I look at Lily and I'm astounded by how different we are. Whilst I'm cautious and prefer to play it safe, Lily is adventurous, unpredictable and down right fearless.

First of all, notice I say the odd day, haha. I mean don't get me wrong, I love sunshine as much as the next cold and fed up Brit but yesterday's down pour really reminded me what good fun the rain can be.
Why the odd day of rain isn't always a bad thing

Holidaying in Filey - Days Three and Four
Monday, 4 May 2015
This morning was more of a relaxed one for us. Lily got up at 6am on the dot (as she has taken to doing of late!) and we spent much of the morning drinking lots of coffee (me, not lily!) and watching Fireman Sam on repeat via Netflix.
Holidaying in Filey - Day 2
Thursday, 30 April 2015
At the time of writing this I am absolutely beyond exhausted so you'll have to excuse me if this post seems a little badly written..I'm going off of 3 hours sleep right now!
As you may or may not be aware myself, James and Lily are spending a week by the sea. Filey to be precise, with James's family, in the same cottage as the trip we took last year..we enjoyed it so much last year we decided to make it a yearly thing!
I guess you could say this is technically day 2 but yesterday we were just arriving and settling in so didn't really do much and therefore I don't feel like it deserved its own blog post. Today however has been busy busy busy so there's lots to talk about and lots of photographs to post!
The Cottage!

Oh my gosh I'm embracing this weather so much at the moment! We're spending every day outside having picnics or going for walks and I love it!
Yesterday me and my brother took Lily to Meanwood woods, one of my favourite woods of all time. If you've been following my blog for a while you've probably seen plenty of pictures of these particular woods already..we go all the time, its just so pretty!
My Happy Place
Saturday, 11 April 2015
I woke up this morning to the sun streaming in through the curtains and after taking a look at my far too hyper for this time of the morning toddler I decided this morning would be the perfect morning to go on a breakfast date, just me and bugs. We get a yummy breakfast and Lily gets to burn off some energy before her lunchtime nap, result!
Our local cafe was way busier than I thought it would be for such an early morning but I guess everyone had the same idea we did! Me and Lily shared a lovely croissant and she had a raspberry milkshake whilst I had my favourite hazelnut latte.

The weather was sooo lovely on Easter Monday and we had such a nice day I thought I'd do a little write up! Poor James has been poorly and so wanted to stay at home for the day but me & Lil wanted to make the most of the weather so decided to get out for a picnic with my cousins so he could rest.

Happy Easter from me and my little bunny! I hope you all had a lovely day. Ours was surprisingly brilliant! I wasn't expecting much as we've never really massively celebrated Easter but Lily's at that age where she's genuinely excited by the prospect of the Easter bunny now and having the sun shine for us all day was an added bonus!
