My first weekly VLOG!

Hi everyone! I have been wanting to start youtube and vlogging for about 5 years now but I am always too nervous but I have taken the plunge and decided to try and do weekly vlogs so I can kind of document mine and Lillys life.

This one may be a little bit boring but im still trying to feel comfortable infornt of the camera and basically talking out loud to myself! I would really appreciate it If you could subscribe to my channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Lillyandme12 and im hoping to do more beauty, mummy videos once I build up some confidence haha!

Sorry about the choppy editing and random clips but it is my first vlog and I don't know how to edit so im still learning :)

Good Friday // A Little Trip To The Zoo

Easter weekend has fallen on my birthday this year and we are trying to take full advantage and have a family filled week. We were planning on going to whipsnade zoo on Monday but looking at the weather yesterday the bank holiday weekend is in for some rain and we decided to make a last minuet plan and go yesterday whilst the sun was out. Turns out when we got there it turned cloudy and was really cold but we still had a good day.

Its the first time we have taken Lilly to a zoo. I thought she would love it however her attention span was about 5 seconds and with the busy crown and not being able to get close to the animals she was a little over it until we got into the little petting farm section. Lilly loves being able to stroke animals and was so excited to see these little miniature goats which you could stroke. We spent most of the day in here as she didn't want to leave them and thought they were cows and repeatedly said moo!

If anyone came to stoke the miniature goats she would look at them as if to say 'get away' and guard them. Whipsnade also have a big play area and lots of places to eat. Whilst we were walking around we saw these little animals ( I don't know what they are kind a big rabbit/kangaroo) and a female came out of her little burrow with 3 babies that had just been born and was also giving birth to another which was crazy to see.

A Walk In The Park...

The sun was shining today and it is starting to feel a little warmer which means its perfect for getting outdoors. I love going for family walks and taking Lilly to feed the ducks. We are lucky where we live to be surrounded by lakes and country parks where there are always lots of wildlife and new areas to explore. I'm trying to take more pictures of our little adventures and share them on here.

Lilly loves to pick daisy's. We are constantly stopping to the sound of a little voice saying 'daisy daisy' and having to pick one from every bunch for her, We came across to beautiful swans who we fed some bread to. These two swans were so calm and were reaching to get the bread out of our hands. I haven't ever really been so close to a swan I could nearly touch it but how beautiful and big are they?!

My two boys are in need of a good groom but I love this photo of rocky, he looks like he is smiling haha!

A Day At The Farm // Meeting Peppa Pig

Hi ladies! I hope you have all had a fab weekend and enjoyed a bit of the weather. It was my birthday yesterday and on Saturday my mum came down for the day. I recently saw that a open farm had Peppa pig coming to visit for the day and i really wanted to take Lilly to see her, even though i know she is a little too young its still nice to do. I also love animals so going to see them and have a chance to feed them was a plus too.

In the morning Lilly woke me up at 7am, this is not normal for Lilly, she sleeps until 8:30 - 9.00 every morning without fail which was a little odd but i thought nothing of it. We went to pick my mum up from the train station then headed to the farm, I could not have asked for a nicer day, the sun was shining and there was not a cloud in the sky all day, although the wind had a bit of a chill for the uk it was a warm day. The farm was packed, the car park was full and i ended up parking on a field which really tested my new Cosatto pushchair. There were kids all over the place wearing their peppa pig clothes and carrying their toys which was really cute.

As you can see from the photo Lilly wasn't too impressed with Peppa pig, she was basically behind a fence and people qued around the fence and waited for her, we were near the end of the que and Lilly was a little bored of waiting and when she came next to us for a photo Lilly kind of looked at her thinking "whats this giant marshmallow doing here" and tried to eat her... she didn't really know what it was but was still nice to get a photo for memories. We got the chance to feed some of the animals (me not Lilly) and saw some new born baby lambs and had a nice picnic in the sun which was lovely. I wanted to wait untill 3pm to take part in something called the bunny hop where they basically close a barn full of bunnies and Guinea pigs and they run around and you can hold them and stuff but i could see in Lilly's face and personality she wasn't feeling well so we quickly left and took her home.

As i said earlier about thinking it was strange for Lilly to wake up early, she was being overly fussy all day and kept wanting me to pick her up and even when i did she was still being a bit grumpy. At first i thought she was tired but i notice her nose started to run and she seemed to be getting a temperature so we had to cut our day short and went home. I checked her temperature and it was high, followed by projectile vomit and a very very fussy baby i realised she wasn't well and spent the rest of the day and night looking after her and trying to make her feel better. 

Overall it was a really nice day and meeting Peppa was fun and i will be taking Lilly and her daddy for another character day soon when she is more herself. Did you do anything fun at the weekend?
