And a little catch up
Enjoy
Good afternoon from the sofa, of course! I said I would be consistent with my blogging, and then I overthink EVERYTHING and that I have nothing interesting to say! :)
So this is just a little ramble and update, we have had a few exciting things recently since the new year. One was an in person 3rd round audition in London for Harper which she did so well! (still yet to hear back so fingers crossed) we had the best day in London, Sienna and Jaime came with us as it was a 2 part audition so we grabbed some lunch (obviously being in London we wanted to somewhere that we don't have in Southampton but ended up at Fiveguys) hahaha!
We got to London a little early (the best start) and started off with a coffee and croissant in Amelias where we have been before, always wonderful service and great coffee and juices!!
I do love the buzz of London every time we visit, we printed the girls faces on M&M's from the M&M shop- so cool! Headed into the lego store and just had a good mooch around.
And even if Harper doesn't get the part, the experience is so good for her and she enjoys it so much! The children really do put their all into these auditions and self tapes (the bit you have to do before the in-person audition) but we still have our fingers and toes very much crossed! I have also been doing 4 sefltapes with the younger two- much harder than the older two haha! but fingers crossed for them as well. It is always such an amazing opportunity to even get a selftape and we do put so much effort into them, their day will come and we can't wait!
Jaime and I also had a quick 2 night trip to Spain to surprise his dad for his 70th birthday with his sisters, which was so lovely. We stayed in the Hotel La Laguna Spa & Golf Visit Here, and after a surprising arrival where our room was half decorated (they are doing some refurbishments) we got a wonderful little upgrade due to no more of our rooms available and stayed in one of their suites- honestly, stunning!
There was no hot water on the last night/morning so cold showers before our flight wasnt great as we were not told any information either, so slightly disappointing with that but overall was lovely. I would definitely go back! We also paid around £20 each for use of the spa which was a lovely relaxing addition.
We also have a flat we rent out, and the tenants have recently moved out so we are fully re-decorating there, I have been helping Jaime with the painting, and hopefully get to do the fun part of staging soon so will share some products and furniture as I absolutely love designing homes!
A little glimpse of the sofa, cushions and lamps I got from Homesense- bargain and amazing will look so nice when its finished!
We also got a little surprise addition to the family!! Everyone meet Pearl (I think that's going to be her name haha!) She is just the cutest and soooo good and cuddly!!
Other than that we had a little trip to town with the older two girls to spend their Christmas money and vouchers and have been carrying on with our homeschooling, keeping on top of the house work, food shop, cleaning, school runs for younger two, horse riding and clubs plus the gym and work, blogging/vlogging and anything I can manage in the 24 hours that seem to fly by!
Hope you all have a lovely week and I will catch up next week!
