we all need to put the phone down!

Hello, these days all we seem to do with our spare time is check our phones constantly. 
We check our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, pintrest and the list goes on. 
In the last few months i've not posted as much as I used too, unlike this week on my social media, due to too many birthdays and celebrations. But realistacly I'm wanting to keep family life more private, I have many reasons but I just want to upload pictures of my daughter growing up, check in every now and then about my fitness and weightloss and to capture precious moments with friends and family to also just enjoy things more without having my phone glued to my hand. 

Here are my top tips for phone replacements for everyone to enjoy and get used to; 

Turn off notifications 
Set up phone free periods every day 
Get back into your old hobby 
Running 
Walking to places you never knew 
Stand in two places at once 
Reading a book/magazine 
Arrange a meet up with friends catch up face to face not by text
Art and crafts get the kids to join in
Adventure days with the kids 
Local attractions
Build a fort day 
Lush bath 
Become the new sewing bee champ
Morning cafe visit 
Family movie day 
Family lunch date

I hope your enjoyed the read 
Lots of love
Natasha 
xXx

what's in Poppy's Easter basket | 2018 | toddler Easter treats |

Easter goodies for my Toddler 

Always another holiday isn't there. I like to make Poppy a box for each special occasion throughout the year; Christmas eve box, Halloween trick or treat bag and Easter is no exception. This Easter i have gone for the more traditional items like my mum used to get us when we were little; books, stickers, chocolate egg, etc... I've not gone as over the the top as I usually do. We are also buying the stuff we know Poppy is really interested in, her favourite characters and bits she can interact with us on as well


The items in the box are not to have in one go, half of this is being used for her Easter egg hunt in the garden. We have gone for the play/learning items this year, she loves books at the moment and we read to her every night. As she enjoys it so much i decided to get her The Gruffalo £5.99 from Waterstones and the Peter rabbit sticker activity book £2 from the Works.

A pack of Bunny crayons £1 from Poundland, Peppa pig play cards £2 fro…

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter



What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy.


*Rooms*

Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc...

Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace

Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc...

Dining room- ( same as above)

Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply so dont throw away b…
