Me and Mine {May} 2017

May has been such a nice Summer month this year. There was definitely more sun than there was rain for once. We all deserve a bit of sun in Ireland after all.

This month we spent most of it outside and we also made an effort going on a few family days out. The beginning of the month it started off with a mini heatwave. We had planned to go to a children’s museum but changed plan in the end and drove up to Malahide beach, fourty minutes away from us. Matthew enjoys being on the beach and we also had a sneaky ice cream from the ice cream van.

The middle of the month we drove to a local forest park and explored the area. Lots of running around for the kids and a lovely little cafe in the middle of it all where both enjoyed a massive cookie. Hubby clearly enjoyed the forest park too and brought them again last weekend.

Our me and mine portrait of May was taken at Malahide beach. It’s funny because I think this time last year it was also taken at the beach.

Daddy was loving:

• Kids playing
• Tennis (He has been playing in a lot of tennis tournaments lately)
• Garden (We finally managed to cut the grass)
• Computer room (We got customised shelving installed recently. You may have seen it on my Instagram)

Mammy was loving:

• Warm weather and sunshine
• Blog On MSI in Manchester to meet some lovely bloggers
• Which leads me to 24 hours of no “Mammy I am hungry”, “Mammy, Chloe pushed me”, some people might also call this me time
• Three days off, just because
• Clothes shopping

Matthew was loving:

• Play Date with daddy’s friends son
• Running around in the woods picking acorns
• Finally being able to pedal on his Spiderman bike
• Having lots of ice cream in this gorgeous weather

Chloe was loving:

• Her first cinema experience watching the one and only Peppa Pig
• Going for walks in the woods
• “I cream”
• Her new decorated room (it’s not fully there)
