A stint on ITV’s This Morning, a photoshoot in bed for The Sun newspaper and a new baby on the way: 2016 has been quite a year in the Crummy Mummy household.
The good thing about blogging is that whether you intend to or not you’re inadvertently keeping an online diary, and before you know it you’ve got a record of your life in words and pictures to look back on.
So I thought I’d end 2016 with a round up of our year in pictures.
Our year in pictures
January
I kicked off the year with my second appearance on ITV’s This Morning talking about whether it’s ok to wear pyjamas on the school run. In my humble opinion it totally is, but this sparked quite a debate!
February
After taking my first tentative steps into the world of vlogging we teamed up with Pampers and made a video about their new ‘sagless’ nappies. Little B was a little star and I love watching this vlog back now he’s a toddler and not a baby anymore.
March
Easter wouldn’t be Easter without making shredded wheat nests, just one of the reasons I think Easter is better with kids.
April
We took BB – whose real name is Bluebell – on our annual pilgrimage to see the bluebells at Bushy Park in Surrey – we’ve photographed her there every year since she was born in 2011.
May
We enjoyed another great family day out at Drusillas Park in East Sussex – one of our favourite haunts.
June
Little B and I featured in The Sun newspaper in a story about co-sleeping – we even had a photoshoot in bed, much to Little B’s delight!
July
We were treated to a week at Hoburne Holidays’ Devon Bay holiday park near Paignton in Devon and had a whale of a time – it was honestly the best family holiday we’ve ever had.
August
We were finally able to reveal baby number three is on the way and made the announcement on social media with this photo.
September
Little B and I were offered a term of Puddle Ducks swimming lessons in exchange for a series of blog posts about our experience – as you can see he loved it.
October
Little B turned two and I tried my hand at a Teletubbies birthday cake – it was a labour of love but the kids loved it.
November
BB lost her first tooth – and when I say lost she actually lost it (we think she ate it).
December
The highlight of December had to be our trip to LaplandUK, which is possibly the best family day out we’ve had so far.
How was 2016 for you? What was the highlight of your year?
Wow you have certainly had a media filled year! Go you!!!
I suppose it was in a way – very exciting!
What a brilliant year hun, blogging wise and personally. I hope 2017 is even better for you, you certainly have lots to look forward to! Thank you for linking up to #ablogginggoodtime
Thank you – it’s nice to look back on a good year as there have been some rough ones in the past…
That Teletubbies cake looks like it turned out pretty well! Congrats on the new little one! #ablogginggoodtime
The cake was a labour of love – I regretted undertaking all four Teletubbies as soon as I started. I should have stuck to one!
