☀️Nowhere beats London in the sunshine in my o

☀️Nowhere beats London in the sunshine in my opinion and today we played tourists in the capital again (we’ve been heading back most weekends recently) kicking off with the multimedia screening of the new Minions movie (The Rise of Gru) -thanks for the invite @universalpicturesuk-which the boys thought was a clever and funny film dedicated to Gru’s backstory and journey to becoming everyone’s favourite villain. Florence only lasted 30 minutes so we ended up marvelling at buskers in Leicester Square together and strolling around Covent Garden in search of smoothies before reuniting with Peter and the boys and eating our way through the Southbank Centre Food Market with Korean, Italian, Greek and Japanese cuisine no less, enjoyed between us! We did walk and walk and walk (Florence seemed amazed by the crowds and energy of London and spent the day smiling and laughing at everyone we passed) and after hitting 20k steps (mostly of her in the baby carrier on me), I’m hoping we’ll all sleep well tonight, her included🤞! Oliver’s been waiting to walk around with Florence in the carrier bless him and today was the day. (Scroll for pics). I remember him saying he couldn’t wait to experience ‘a kangaroo’ when I was pregnant, after seeing photos of himself and Xander in carriers as babies, in photos. It’s crazy to think I once walked around with Oliver on my chest and he’s now taller than me, carrying his baby sister on his 😂! I hope you’ve all had a sunny Sunday filled with joy, people. Are you planning to watch the film too? I’m going to catch it in full when it hits the small screen⭐️ <gift> #movies #film #mummy #london #londonfood #babies #babygirl #trend #fyp #foryou #motherhood

Florence celebrated her 7 month birthday today and saying her first word, ‘Mama’ at the @royalwindsorflowershow 🌸 in Windsor Great Park 🌳. The Show, which is the annual celebration of the Royal Windsor Rose & Horticultural Society was opened by the Countess of Wessex alongside horticultural hero @alantitchmarshmbe. The Society’s current Patron is Her Majesty The Queen and the Show formed part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations marking her 70 years of service with majestic displays, flower and plant stalls, cake and veg grower competitions and activities for all the family spanning gardening fun, live performances, music and al fresco storytelling sessions. Florence particularly enjoyed watching other children plant seeds, and play in the mud kitchen hosted by the brilliant @littlemuddy.boots (established in 2014 to enable more kids to connect with nature in a safe and stimulating environment) and we marvelled at @busybuttonscorecharity’s stunning platinum orb composed of 70 recycled bicycle wheels and 700+ plastic milk bottles involving over 1000 people including families, @dukeofedinburgh_award candidates, NHS adult and child referrals, local businesses and volunteers. Florence and I were also utterly captivated by the beautiful @berkshire_birds_of_prey (I snapped a sweet owl, here). It was extra special to spend the day with my floral expert friend Anca and her kids as she’s the co-founder of the award-winning @bambooflowersuk and patiently answered my flora (and baby-related) questions and took the photos of Florence and I. Congrats to the first prize winner of the peach honed flower wreath I’m posing in created at @oldwindsorflowerclub and the creator for letting me take a million photos until I was happy! Aww, what a wholesome day of beauty, community and cheer. Thank you to PR superstar @charlottesdavey for inviting us, we loved every single minute 💚 <gift> #royal #royalwindsor #windsor #berkshire #flowers #flowerstagram #flowersofinstagram #flowerslovers #royalfamily #royalwindsorflowershow #thegreatwindsorpark #greatwindsorpark #windsorcastle #familyday #friends #babies #bebe #babygirl #daysout #motherhood

Windsor and Eton is in full joyful jubilation mode

Windsor and Eton is in full joyful jubilation mode 🇬🇧 and the weather is practically tropical! We’ve roamed around town taking in everyone’s pretty decorations and enjoyed a peaceful picnic in deserted Eton earlier with delicious fare from @flamingcowburgers (swipe for pics). The past few weeks haven’t been all sunshine and celebrations however, I’ve been massively sleep deprived thanks to a teething baby and poor Alexander cracked his head open at school last week. Thankfully he’s almost fully recovered post gluing and Florence was all smiles today. Now if I can just sleep for a week, all will be well! What are you all up to for the bank holiday? #jubilee #queenelizabeth #queen #windsor #eton #windsorcastle #platinumjubilee #royal #royals #royalfamily #parenting #baby #honestparenting #bankholiday #bankholidayweekend #family

Happy birthday to our rock: our strong, humble, funny, handsome and loving Peter. The only person I know of who would slowly and calmly walk down seven flights of stairs whilst a hotel we were staying at was on fire! I literally flew down those floors. No one is calmer than that man. We definitely won the husband/daddy lottery with him ♥️ (photos by the talented @phoebegilderphotography). #birthday #birthdayboy #dad #daddy #photoshoot #photography #dadofthree #daddyslittlegirl #father #happybirthday #cute #family #familia #kidsofinstagram #babiesofinstagram #babygirl #explorepage #explore #exploremore #familyphotography
