Family Day Out at Rare Breeds Farm

| September 7, 2013

We had a great family day out at Rare Breeds Farm in Kent for Ilya’s 3rd Birthday celebration. Ilya is Imogen’s cousin and he is such a charming, gentle and fun little boy. Imogen was so excited to see him and they spent the day viewing the farm animals, enjoying a special Birthday party lunch, watching butterflies in the Butterfly Tunnel, playing in the playground and going for a ride in the tractor trailer seated on hay bales.

Imogen and Ilya adore one another and shared their delight of being on the farm. Holding hands they chattered and giggled as they ran around in the sunshine.

It was wonderful for Imogen to play with her cousin for an entire day!

Autumn Clothing for Babies and Children

| September 4, 2013

I love viewing the next season’s range of clothing. There’s something exciting about a change in temperature and the clothes that go with it.

This year with the amazing Summer we’re having (long may it last) I have to smile with all the Winter hats, gloves, wellies and woolly jumpers lining the shelves of clothing stores. I even found myself looking at Winter coats for Imogen yesterday, whilst she looked at me with a questioning glance wearing her Summer dress and sandals.

Sunflowers in the Garden

| September 3, 2013

At the start of the Summer we joined the #KidsGrowWild Challenge and were sent a lovely Little Pals Garden Kit. Imogen had great fun preparing the flower pots and planting the seeds. We then waited patiently to see what would grow in our city garden.

For the last few weeks we’ve enjoyed wild flowers and a beautiful Sunflower. With Imogen’s consistent watering and care the flowers have grown and flourished daily.

I couldn’t resist taking some photos of our beautiful garden of flowers grown from seed.

We have a very proud little gardener. What can we grow in our city garden this Winter?
