19 Months!

The boy turned 19 months on Friday. All I can say is that he's a tantruming, naughty, cheeky, pushing his damn luck little 19 month old... But man, I love him!

Stuff he loves

1. Drawing on the walls
2. Sleeping horizontally in mummy and daddy's bed
3. Lots of hugs and sloppy kisses
4. Trying to put his shoes on
5. Not eating his lunch OR dinner and instead smooshing it in his hands!
6. Giving a cheeky smile when he's being told not to do something...
7. ... Continuing to do what he's being told not to!!
8. Dancing, dancing, dancing - he's a dancing machine
9. Running up and down the hallway
10. saying 'I love you mama' (or his version of it) *my heart bursts!

I love you more than anything bubba. Keep growing strong.

Very Bad Blogger :(

I'm ashamed by the amount of time I've been away from the blogging world *hangs head in shame.
I have come to a realisation though. As much as I would love to be able to write a new post everyday, I just don't have the time. At the moment I can hardly keep up with my emails and tweets, so blogging doesn't even come into my mind.
In the past I have felt really guilty about not keeping up to date but I have now come to the realisation that with everything I have going on at the moment, this blog is just going to have to take a back seat.

Nooooo! I hear you cry (well maybe not, but let me dream a little) don't be alarmed, I will continue to write. I have set myself a target of one post a week, any more than that even better, but I no longer want to stress about it and let's be honest I don't think there has ever been a consistent stream of posts since I started. Lol!

So anyway, A flash update on goings on

1. The weather has been crap! (but you knew that already didn't you)
2. I celebrated a birthday and therefore am now one year older
3. E is now 18 months, had his first haircut and I think I can now say he is definitely getting into the 'terrible twos' - can anybody say tantrum? He also has 8 teeth coming through (four pre molars - which are pretty much all out now - and four canines)
4. There have been lots of goings on with napmit and there will be some new designs on the site soon - post on this soon.
5. We have just come back from the BEST holiday in Spain ever! Lot's of sun, food, family and naked babies!
6. The Olympics are starting soon! (of course you know that too) We were lucky enough to get some tickets to go to the rehearsal of the opening ceremony and will be attending this wednesday. We also have some Olympic inspired bows available - post to come.

Well I think that's it - I said it was a quick round-up!

Speak soon. xx

Jubilations!!

So this weekend our queen would have been in rule for 60 years. God save the queen and all that Jazz.

I'm not complaining. I like the fact that we have a monarchy, well I more so like the fact that the rest of the world like the fact that we have a monarchy. Kinda makes us seem rather civilised, don't cha fink!? ;)
I'm also not complaining that we have a very long weekend and an excuse to celebrate. I, myself have no plans to do anything extra-ordinary. Just watching films, eating food and lounging around.

The festivities have sort-of inspired me. These are a few things I have been working on.

Best of British gift box. Includes Satin Ribbon Toddler Hairband, Jubilee Pin Wheel clip, British Rosette Barrette, Vintage Union Jack Boutique Toddler Bow, Tuxedo Toddler Bow in Royal Blue and Baby Boutique Bow in Ivory.

All of these new designs will be on the site soon but if you would like a gift box, please get in touch by emailing info@napmit.com.

Enjoy the fun this weekend, I know I will!!

The sun has got his hat on...

Hip-hip-hip hooray!

These are belated celebrations of course because as I write this the scene outside is rather grim. 

I know I am forever saying it but I have been SO busy! Hence the reason why I haven't had any new blog post for like a millennia.

I have to confess though that my workload hasn't been the sole reason I went AWOL. The wonderful weather has meant that any spare time I had was taken up by trips to the park, restaurant living and lot's of general outdoor fun.

Here's a round-up of our summer adventures.

Summer snoozing; feet in the grass; Munchkin shades; Dirt; Following the leader (Ettien); A munchkin face!

E's a winter baby and used to really struggle in the sun but since turning into a toddler he loves being outside. Of course we have the usual cheeky behaviour of running away in the park and refusing to hold our hands on the road but apart from that he has been pure bliss.

Sun come back, we miss you already! :(

In other news my munchkin E turned 17 months last weekend. 

Stuff he loves

1. Dancing, dancing and more dancing!

2. Still pointing to everything and saying 'What's that?' - although he can answer his own question now.

3. Naming the animals and making their noises.

4. Singing the wheels on the bus, wind the bobbin up and twinkle, twinkle little star.

5. Custard creams biscuits.

6. Playing on iPhone's and iPads.

7. Kisses!

8. Eating all of mummy's breakfast, lunch & dinner.

9. Running around outside.

10. Night time cuddles.

He's growing up SO fast! He's so much fun and is my favourite person to be around. I love him so much!!

We are LIVE!!

Okay this isn't the first launch date for the website but I've decided it will be the first OFFICIAL launch date.

So here we are... WE'RE LIVE! Yippee, Hurray, Whoo Hoo...

It's been a lot of hard work and quite a few hiccups, but finally I can say that my website is up and running and working, hopefully.

The Natural History Museum

Wow it's been a long time since I blogged! So much so in fact that for a minute I actually couldn't remember how to create a new post. Shocking!!

My dizziness is still with me but I've been prescribed some medication which helps, but doesn't get rid of it entirely. I'm trying to get on with things (obviously I HAVE to go to work) cos I can't lie on the sofa all day, everyday - well I could but I might get sore :) and I don't think munchkin E will let me.

So what's been happening I hear you cry.

Well, On the first weekend where we actually got to see the sun we decided to take munchkin E to the Natural History Museum.
side note* - i'm going to be calling Ettien munchkin E as Ettien sounds too formal today and well, he is a munchkin and his name begins with the letter E! Ha! 

It wasn't really very warm even though it was sunny, so it seemed like a good idea to go somewhere that would be fun but also indoors.
Munchkin E LOVED it! When we walked in, the first thing he said was 'Ooooow'(which is how he says wow) and according to him every animal was a dog and they all say 'woof, woof' :)

A dog. This dog says Raaaaaaaa!!

another dog

I think this one is actually a dog. Might have been a wolf, wolves are dogs...right?

yep, you guessed it, a dog :)

Hippo says 'woo woo' (woof woof)

talking to Elephant's on the phone. D'you think there are pachyderm iPhones? (terrible!)

We had a really great day and I think E did too as he refused to hold our hands and wanted to run around everywhere!

Next on our list this summer are The London Aquarium, Science Museum and London Zoo. Look out cos little Munchkin E's coming for ya!
