Little shoot post and pre heatwave today in front

Little shoot post and pre heatwave today in front of one of Florence’s majestic floral masterpieces from her christening last Sunday. Thank you so much to my wonderful friends, Anca and Ioachim, founders of the multi award winning @bambooflowersuk for their kindness and gifting Florence two of these beautiful floral displays for her big day. (I’ll share the professional photos once I receive them). It really was one of the most joyful days of our lives. <Bibs worn here, a gift from @ziggleuk x @cosatto>. Florence turns 6 months on the 11th of May, what a wonderful whirlwind. Being my third baby and knowing how quickly this time goes means I’ve tried to savour this time as much as possible. FYI, would love some more sleep though! How you all doing?

I can’t cope with the cuteness! First time in bunches age 5 1/2 months. Thank you @_sophiestockton_ for doing her hair whilst the whole family has their hair done @innovations_windsor today ♥️. Florence’s had huge hair from day 1. Did your baby have lots of hair? 🎀

*#Competition* #Win a lavish lunch @thebroadcasterlondon, a contemporary British restaurant in White City for you and your family ♥️. Simply like this post, follow me @honestmum and @thebroadcasterlondon and tag 3 friends in the comments for extra chances to win. Ends Thursday 5th May 2022.
T&Cs include main and dessert per person (adult & kids), one bottle of house wine or cocktail each for the adults, and soft drinks for the kids. <We enjoyed an excellent modern British menu in the warm and welcoming restaurant and bar, located next to the ITV Studios where I’ve worked over the years. Being there also brought back memories from my uni days where my weekends and holidays were spent as a runner and trainee researcher at the BBC who used to be based there. With seasonal, ‘traditional with a twist’ cuisine on offer with classic roasts and fish and chips opted for here, and the @thekidstableuk upstairs entertaining kids aged 3+, made for a truly relaxing long lunch.
