Happy New Year!

2013 has so far been the best yet mainly due to the birth of my lovely CeCe, looking forward to lots more lovely things happening in 2014! xxx

Introducing Baby CeCe

So the reason for my long absence on the blogging front...........

Our little Celeste Berry Coote (we're calling her CeCe for short) was born on 10th August 2013 at around 4 in the morning. She entered the world in quite a dramatic fashion and has been a very calm little thing ever since! The name 'Celeste' means divine or heavenly and isn't she just?! She's perfect in every way and I can't tell you how amazing she is.

Here she is meeting her big sister Delilah for the very first time.

And then we were four! I feel so very lucky to have two lovely daughters, and I feel so happy for both of my girls that they get to have a sister, I really hope they are as close as my sister and I are. 

I loved making my labour playlist for both girls and I have loads of songs which will forever be linked with them. Jamie Cullum's version of 'Pure Imagination' was a song that seemed to stand out to me whilst in labour with CeCe, here it is.

Thank you to everyone who sent messages and cards, it means so much xxx

Gorgeous Weekends

So I know the weather has kind of gone downhill since the weekend, but I thought I'd post about it to try and tempt the sun back a bit, as it was just a bit lovely wasn't it? Not sure I can remember a bank holiday like it! We spent lots of family time together outside, sometimes in the garden.

Look at these pretty frilly edged tulips which have just come up in our front garden, I probably should have left them there (I remember so clearly my mum telling me off for picking flowers as a child!) but I couldn't resist putting them in my beautiful pink vintage vase.

Delilah had fun on a tractor at Barleylands Farm,

...and marvelled at the Gruffalo sculptures at Thorndon Country Park.

I was particularly excited by finally being able to wear my new bright blue floral Keds!

Here's to another amazing weekend everyone, hope you all have a good one :) xxx
