It’s either a very happy, happy Friday for us or a dreadful one. I say this because we are traveling as you are reading this to the south of France to see some friends. I am so very excited to hopefully get some sunshine finally and catch up with friends we haven’t seen for awhile. I say it could be amazing since we are all on holiday together but I say dreadful because the kids have been so ill this past week and I just pray the antibiotics have been in their system long enough this week that come travel time they are ready for it and happy for our upcoming adventures.
Here is what we having been loving among the sickness and calpol this week.
Read
While we anxiously waited for Buba’s primary school placement this week we have been setting up a little space for learning for him. It’s not even close to being finished but he already loves sitting at this shared desk of the kids and reading his Dr. Seuss books. We were disappointed with the outcome but it could have been way worse and are grateful to get what we got. I am still putting him on the waiting list but I think I would not have a solid ground for appeals sadly. I do believe in everything happens for a reason to some extend.
Watched
We are on the last two episodes of the box set for Suits and still absolutely loving it. We also have been catching Revenge and Scandal. I am saving Grey’s Anatomy entire season to watch it all together so don’t share any spoilers to me please!
Heard
I have been listening to two kids and a husband coughing, sneezing and crying all week so ill. It’s the first time I have not caught something they have all had. It feels weird to be the one not ill in the house but also amazing. I hope that I stay healthy and clear of whatever has plagued my family especially since they are hopefully at the end of it all and we are on vacation. If you have been reading LTM long though you will know I have the worse luck ever and after a washed out rainy Venice trip recently I am praying France goes well this weekend!
Wore
Although a really grainy photo, sorry, I am loving my new outfit from new look this week. It’s so comfortable and yet makes me feel pretty which isn’t always an easy task. I got the outfit idea from a lovely SWM linker Stylish Memories last week here. I have been on a little summer shopping spree lately and hoping to have a vlog up soon for it too as we are off to America for two months for our last big USA summer before Buba is in school.
Made
We made the most of all being home together sick with a Spanish themed family date night. Tried some news foods out and had a buffet on for the kids to help themselves too and then a movie before bedtime. We all enjoyed having our pjs on and lounging around together. The Spanish desserts were the best of all.
And lastly…
This week I got to catch up with the sweetest girl ever, my friend and your host Morgana. It had been far to long for us to go without our coffee dates or a play date with the kids. We sat chatting away in the most swanky amazing cafe ever! (Great find Morgana) Hours passed us by and I could have sat there forever chatting with her. It’s friends like Morgana that make you feel loved and special. She is always so positive about life. I always leave thinking I had the best time ever and so glad we got together. I know I could tell her anything and everything and she wouldn’t judge me or at least not out loud but she will always give her amazing advice if I need it.
Our coffee date this week just made me remember why I love the heck out of her and our amazing friendship and because our husband work together we get how it is to be married to the financial world and because we both blog we get how it is to be in this world too. I don’t have anyone close to me that gets me and all the worlds I am apart of so I find that our friendship is not just special its unique and I am so grateful for her and her amazing family in our lives!
Linking up with Butwhymummywhy for #littleloves
I’ll keep all my fingers crossed for you for lots of hot sunshine and no more bugs – your poor little ones, there’s a really horrid cough going around isn’t there.
Yes I hope we have seen the bad days behind us so we can enjoy this holiday. Venice flooded with the rain and I pray France isn’t flooded with viruses! Thanks hun.
Aw Jenny, you made me blush! You’re such a lovely friend.
Hope the kids and Mr P are better and that you have a wonderful time in France. Looking forward to hearing about it when you’re back xxx
Thanks darling. I hope they turn on a whim soon as it’s not looking too good getting ready to leave for the airport. Fingers crossed… Thanks darling you are a lovely friend too! 🙂
Love the outfit, the stripey skirt is gorgeous =)
Thank you Jenni. So sweet of you. It’s so cheap and so comfortable too!!
Have a wonderful time lovely, so look forward to read all about it on your return and maybe even a little video!! Oh Greys where do I start/not start, all I will say is box of tissues, bottle of wine and tweezers!. Hoping babes stay well and you don’t get it. Huge hugs to you and the not preferred choice of school for Buba. I like you have the things happen for a reason attitude and as disappointing as it is pick myself back up and get on with it and believe that better things are to come. Huge hugs x
Thank you so much Nicole. Oh yes the go pro is going with us this time!!! Hoping to do more videos from now on. I have been having technology issues with camera, laptop etc so haven’t been doing as much.
I love that skirt! Must be great to live on the same street as your bestest!
I’m hoping your luck changes and the weather holds out for you and you get a sick free vacation! I think life owes it to you!
Have a great time x
Thanks darling. MM is better but Buba has took a turn for the worse. At least we have nice weather to sit out in. Hahaha we really are on a string of bad luck.
I am so sorry you didn’t get what you wanted regarding schools, but I agree, everything happens for a reason.. Love your outfit! You look amazing {as always!} Really hope you are all better soon and you escape the lurgy!! Have an amazing time in France! xx
Thanks Anna Marie!!! We haven’t escaped the Illnesses completely with Buba but MM is all better now and the weather is nice.
Hope your holiday is lovely. Sorry to hear there’s been so much illness with your family this week 🙁 Rubbish! You look stunning, as ever, and that last photo of you two is lovely. Glad you had a good girly chat…they are very much needed sometimes! Jess x
Oh yes and in the moment it was definitely needed. Hahaha we always have a great catch up too. Holiday is going well. It’s sunny and MM is loving it. Buba is still really sick though but being a trooper.
I love your Slogan t-shirt, I’ve just bought the same one and actually bought two because I couldn’t decide between the white and grey. Buba looks so cute at his desk and I’m really sorry you didn’t get your first choice of school but I agree with you, everything will work out for the best.
Have a lovely time in France xx
Thanks darling. I couldn’t decided either how funny. I want the grey one now. They are so comfy for day or night. Might get the grey one for night time. Hahahaha
Fingers crossed you get some sunshine and a well deserved break from all that illness! Love the outfit you wore out to your meet up with Morgana, you look gorgeous. Have a fab time in France! x
Thanks we are loving the nice weather from France so far. Buba is sick though so it’s tough for him. But making the most of it as always. Hahaha in a string of bad luck lately.
Yay for coffee dates with the best of friends. It sounds like you’ve had a lovely week but sorry Bubba didn’t get the place you wanted. I’m sure it will turn out ok in the end.
Your outfit is gorgeous and I would never have thought it was from New Look, you look lovely 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend xx
Thanks. I always feel that about new look until I see it on other people and then buy it online. Sometimes it’s a huge hit and other times it’s not. Love this one though so comfortable. Coffee dates are truly the very best.
oh I do hope you all stay well and have a fantastic time away! Loving the outfit too-smart casual and it’s always good when you feel amazing in something new x
I think so too thanks hunny. Sometimes a new outfit can make you feel so great about yourself. This one is like wearing pjs but look smart casual. Bonus. So far our trip has been lovely and warm but Buba is still sick.
Sorry to hear you have all been poorly!
Lovely photo of you and Morgan’s, it is so lovely to have a special friend who just ‘gets’ you isn’t it?
Have a fab trip away xxx
Thanks hunny. Yes we definitely are so grateful for each other. I love her to pieces.
Have the best holiday Jenny – I’m very jealous – the South of France is our favourite place ever! Aww, really hope your little two are feeling much better for it and you avoid the germs too! Gorgeous outfit lovely- you look beautiful! And it’s so lovely that you and Morgana are so close – that’s such a gorgeous picture of you both! Have a brilliant time away xxx
Thanks Emma your comments are always so kind and loving. MM has been brilliant but Buba is suffering the trip so far. Bless him. But the weather is nice.
Sorry to hear illness has hit your house, hopefully it passes and doesnt return for you guys! lovely outfit, I’m still yet to brave wearing skirts, I dont have enough confidence yet.. silly i know.. I hope you have a fantastic holiday, i love France!
I think it’s so lovely that blogging can bring people together in a way that not a lot understand! (unless a blogger!) but thats also fab that your husbands work together, lovely photo girls xxx
Thanks Natalie. Yes we have known each other long before my blogging days!!! We are just accidentally mentioned one day that we both blog to each other. It was hilarious. Illness still hasn’t passed us yet. Buba is in a bad way but MM has perked up. Lol and the weather too.
Love the outfit
Thank you!
Hope you’re all well now and have arrived safely en France! Your date night looked so lovely, I didn’t realise Lidl did these special things, might have to venture there this weekend for some bits and pieces… 🙂 have a wonderful time with your friends, hope it’s warm and sunny for you xx
Thanks Alice. Yes do it’s tasty. We love a good family date night. We are here in sunny warm France. Felt great to put flip flops on too. Lol Buba is still really sick but MM has turned a corner thankfully. Hoping tomorrow is a better day for him but we are still having a great time.
Hope you have a lovely holiday! So sorry you didn’t get your school of choice… We are in the same boat. Coming round to the idea, and trusting, as you, that everything has a purpose. As a teacher, I can honestly say that supportive families and loving homes are the biggest factors in a child’s education. Lots of love xxx
Thanks Claire and you are so right it’s about the love and support definitely of the family around them. I am comfortable with Buba choice now. Lol funny how it all works out.
You look gorgeous in that outfit Jenny- well you look gorgeous all the time but it’s a lovely outfit. And what a lovely ode to Morgana- she is a fabulous lady. I hope you all have better luck and are having an amazing time in France. x
Thanks Katie. We need it for tomorrow for sure to make the best of our last day here. But we still have had a brilliant time. Thanks it’s one of my new favorite outfits so comfy. Morgana deserves many odes! Great friend.
Aw so sorry about the school news but like you I believe everything happens for a reason. My now 12 year old never got his first place at primary school but looking back I am so glad that happened. Love your outfit Jenny and hope you have an amazing time in France xx
Thanks Tracey. I think that’s how we are going to be. Everything I think happens for a reason. It’s one of my new favourite outfits to wear so comfy.
Ahh, what do you think of Revenge?! I am LOVING it!
I love it and it’s great that it’s now got someone else looking for revenge not Victoria.
