A Spring Bucket List Update

So although I’m sitting here listening to the wind and rain battering my house and feeling decidedly more wintery than should be acceptable at this time of year, I realised that I should probably do a bit of a Spring Bucket List catch up.  How is it already the end of March?! Where do the weeks go? 

5. A family photo shoot with the fabulous Sally Langstaff 
This actually happened at the weekend but I’ve not written about it yet as I want to save that for when I can share a few photos with you – for now I’m obsessively checking Sally’s facebook page waiting to see a sneak peek or two!

6. Celebrate my birthday 
Yes that one definitely happened last week – you can read a couple of posts about it here: The Next Box on the Form, Birthday Celebrations with Balloon Time

10. Mothers’ Day
We had a lovely Mother’s Day – Ben and Chloe were both so excited to give me the things they had made, Ben had even managed to hide his card from me so that I thought he’d left it at school!

All my gorgeous Mother’s Day cards

12. Get the house straight – a proper Spring clean, declutter etc. 
This is definitely an ongoing task – Really a could do with a good day or two childfree to really have a good go at it!  Yesterday involved descaling kitchen appliances as part of a blog project, today I’m moving furniture and blitzing behind it all.  We’re getting there slowly though.

13. Continue with #OperationWeddingWeight 
We’re doing ok – I said I wanted another stone off by the end of May and I’m currently on track to get there.  I picked up Slimmer of the Month for March which I was thrilled about – I’m also thrilled to have new jeans for the first time in a very long time!

 

Totally fell over in the mud on our photo shoot with @sallylangstaff. All the glamour!

17. Make the most of being able to have fresh tulips in the house 
I’m actually doing really well with this one at the moment – between a thank you gift from a friend, Mother’s Day, Mum treating me for my 1st stone off and my birthday I’ve had at least one vase full of tulips in the house constantly for a good few weeks now. This makes me happy!

 

My lovely Mummy bought me some #tulips to say well done on losing my first stone #flowers #OperationWeddingWeight #treat #reward #spring #beautiful
