Spring/Summer Lookbook 2015

With all the cold weather and yet more to come still I have been thinking a lot about summer and how I can't wait for that first summers day when we can go out without coats, hats and scarves and really enjoy the sunshine! It also made me start looking at Calleigh's clothes and a new summer wardrobe for her.
I have already brought a few bit in preparation for our trip to Florida in 3 weeks!

So above are a few of my top picks from Next's 2015 range!

Summer

This summer hasn't been nearly as hot as last year in St Louis, or the year before that. As much as I do love the odd hundred degree day it's been a lot better with lower temperatures as we have been able to play outside more and for longer without getting too hot and sweaty. 

Below are a few photos from some of our best summer days.

We also visited Branson, Lake of the Ozarks and Memphis this summer and had a great time at each place. It's been a really good one! I know summer isn't really over just yet but it kind of feels like it is. We will be heading back to England for a visit in 4 weeks and by the time we get back fall will be almost here and we will be looking forward to Halloween (which I cannot wait for, my favorite season!).

Hope you all had a great summer too!

First Taste of Summer

Firstly I just want to say how incredibly happy and blessed I feel to have this gorgeous little lady as my daughter! Just look how happy she is and it is such a pleasure to watch her growing up!

This weekend the weather has been amazing, a serious taste of summer and we have been making the most of it. Hopefully it's going to stick around for a while as I'm not ready for all this fun to end! Plus my mum is coming out for her visit on Tuesday and it will be awesome if the weather stayed like this for her!

On Saturday we decided to put up the pool we brought last year and finally get some use out of it. Calleigh was having a nap at the time which was good as it took absolutely ages to fill (and we only filed it halfway!). When she got up she was so surprised to see the pool there and couldn't wait to get in. She ran upstairs to go and get her swimming costume on. Unfortunately, it was last years and she had outgrown it a little. I also didn't have any swim diapers but figured it would be okay with a normal one. 

I was very wrong about the diaper, it exploded and all the filling came out everywhere. Don't really know why I thought it would be okay but we did have a little laugh at the fact she looked a bit like Kim Kardashian. After I got her out and changed we sat down for some dinner from the BBQ for the first time since last year. It was amazing! 

Best part- When Calleigh ran outside and saw her exploded diaper on the floor and scream "Oh No! My Panties have broken!"

  

We had another great day on Sunday and spent more time in the pool, after we had been out and brought her some swimming diapers and a new Dora costume.
