Happy Bank Holiday Monday!
Surprisingly from where I sit at the moment it is NOT raining, which is a wonder, so shortly I will be heading out to make the most of the day, but I thought I’d pop in first with a quick outfit post. I know ANOTHER outfit post, I’ve obviously got over that whole “I hate my whole wardrobe” thing.
Todays outfit is special as it was what I wore on Saturday to attend the wedding of excellent blogger and all round lovely lady Landgirl1980.
♥ Dress – Poppy Valentine ♥ Shoes – Jean Michel-Cazabat ♥ Belt & Bag – Vintage ♥
♥Peals – My Nanas (vintage I guess!) ♥ Tights – Pamela Mann ♥
I confess to leaving outfit selection to the very last minute and then panicking slightly! I ended up in this Poppy Valentine dress that I hadn’t worn for a while, I bought it all the way back in 2010, there’s fashion people out there that think that’s vintage! I added gold accessories, a belt taken from a 70s vintage dress, a 1950s handbag, my favourite sequin peep toes and the pink earrings I bought a few weeks ago, which sadly kept falling off my ears as the night went on and have now disintegrated, which is a shame.
Also those Pamela Mann tights again, I do love them!
See that lovely little yellow flower on my dress? Landgirl1980 crocheted over 100 of those as button holes, she’s very clever, and very patient! It was a lovely day, and lovely to catch up with some friends I don’t see often enough. Somewhere will be a great photo of all of us. Sadly I didn’t take it as I was too busy drinking wine, talking rubbish and dancing to do so.
I would leave you at this point with lots of beautiful photos of the day, but most of the photos on my camera appear to be of gummy bears as the dioramas got ever more elaborate and scenes from Indiana Jones were reenacted, so instead I shall leave you with a few photos of lovely wedding things, and a couple of gummy bears.
Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend!
Mwah!

Love the tights …. you cannot beat natural tights, especially seams, so daring …. I love it !!
[ Smiles ] You’ve got style and I LOVE the hair!
That’s a beautiful dress – and it goes brilliantly with your hair! And those tights: I love wearing seams but these would be just a but too much for me, I think. But on you, well – you pull them off fantastically, so maybe I should think again! It looks like a fab day! Kx

Spend More Time With Your Children
It does not matter if you work full time or part time. Maybe you stay at home with your children but you are working from home.

Quality time, that is. There are many ways to spend more time with your children. Find things that you enjoy doing together. Arts and crafts can be a big hit. NightArt is helping bring parents and children together. You can design a drawing and watch it light up together.
No one feels like they spend enough time with their children. However, you need to make the most of time spent together, instead of worrying if you are spending enough time together. Find things that you enjoy doing together, like NightArt. Check it out at http://www.nightart.org/fundus. It will bring out the artist in everyone, bringing families together.

Quality time, that is. There are many ways to spend more time with your children.
Your children do not need to play every sport or do every extracurricular activity out there. You could spend all of your time running your children from one practice to another. Pick just one or two activities that your children love and stick with them.
Plan family dinners where everyone sits at the table, eats, and talks about their day.
Make dinners special so everyone likes to spend time together while eating.
Let your children help when you are working on things.
They can help fix dinner, clean, and fix things. Children learn by watching and doing. Chores can turn into time together so that they are much more enjoyable.
Do things that your children want to do. However, you need to make the most of time spent together, instead of worrying if you are spending enough time together.
