It’s Friday, so it’s time to link up with the lovely Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and decide on my Word of the Week #WotW.
This week has been a tale of two halves, so the word which sums this up best is;
Baby’s Aunty and Uncle were staying with us over the Easter weekend, so the house was full and we were busy going out everyday. On Saturday we all went to review Zizzi restaurant and we had such a lovely time. After opening Baby’s Easter presents on Sunday, we went to visit Blue Reef Aquarium. I didn’t know if Baby was too young to enjoy it, but she seemed to love it. She kept staring and pointing at the colourful fish, she seemed quite amazed by it all. Then, on Monday, we just stayed in the local area and had a lovely pub lunch, followed by trips round a couple of garden centres. Regardless of what we were doing, we were with family and it was such a fabulous long weekend.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t organised enough over the Easter break to plan ahead and organise things for Baby and I to do, when our guests went home and Mr Hubby went back to work. So Baby and I have been home alone Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We have gone to the park and have run some errands, but to be honest it has been quite boring. The weather hasn’t made exploring appealing, so we have mainly snuggled at home.
Today sees us start Toddler Sense (no more Baby Sensory! Ahhh when did she become a toddler!).
Then things gets hectic again from Saturday onwards, but more on that soon!

Your long weekend sounds lovely. There’s a lot to be said for snuggly days too 🙂 x

It was very nice x
Sounds a lovely weekend, nice to be with family and relax. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Author
It was lovely to have family here as they live so far away x
Sounds like you had a great Easter weekend. I know how you feel about the contrast, we had hubby at home for 6 days and when he went back it was back to normality after enjoying so many days together x #WotW
Author
It is a bit of a culture shock, I don’t really like it when everyone goes xx
We were much the same- a busy weekend followed by a couple of dull days where all our toddler clubs hadnt restarted, am looking forward to getting back to routine next week!
Author
The last few days have dragged as Baby wingy after her jabs and nothing to do. Roll on next week x
I think that this is a nice contrast. Having a rest after a really really busy day is okay and gets your redy for the nest busy days too #’wotw
Author
Your probably right x
your weekend sounds great, we had a busy weekend with family, so have been enjoying quiet days at home with nothing to do!
Author
Glad you had a lovely weekend too x
blue reef aquarium is fab. We went when our baby was 8 months and she loved it!
Author
I was surprised how much Baby liked it x
Sounds like you had a fab weekend – we were ill all over the weekend so couldn’t take advantage of it 🙁
Author
Oh I hope you are all feeling better now. x
I love that knit in the pic! Sounds like you had a lovely time. I think it’s nice to have ordinary days with your little one. They get to have undiluted mummy time and that’s what they love the most 😉
Author
Yes you are right x
I think children of all ages love aquariums
Author
I think we will take her again as she loved it lots x
Sounds like a lovely weekend 🙂 x
Author
I wish we could have more with our family x
An aquarium sounds like a lovely place to visit, very calming.
Author
Yes it was great x
Manic sums up my week I think.
Author
Hope it was good manic x
We enjoy taking the girls to Zizzi’s everyones always so friendly. Sounds like a fun filled weekend too x
Author
Yes it was fun and Zizzi’s is so friendly x
Sounds like the perfect weekend x My has been hectic too many meetings 🙁
Author
That should be illegal at the weekend x
Sounds like a lovely weekend. I think all children are fascinated with fish and aquariums, i know Riley is anyway! He loves getting right up close to the displays and watching them swim round. xxx
Author
It’s so cute isn’t it xxx
Sounds like a perfect mix to me. It’s great to appreciate the good times- whether that be family time or one-to-one.
Author
Yes your right. I do love our one to one time (most of the time!) x
This week the only word could be “stressful”. Very. Hope your little one enjoys “Toddler Sense”!
Author
Oh I hope it gets better. Yes she loved it x
I think my word would be ‘ARGH TOO BUSY’ oh that’s 3 words isn’t it?!
Author
I’ll let you off! 🙂 x
Glad you had a great weekend. Sometimes the unplanned stuff is the best.
Author
I think most of our best days have been unplanned, less expectation x
The aquarium sounds pretty perfect to me! My husband was away in a different country working 🙁 x
Author
Oh that would be awful. Mr Hubby has to go away for 2-3 days soon and I am dreading it x
Easter is great balance is the key so glad you had a great time
Author
Thank you. I hope you did too x
It sounds like she really loved the aquarium. I think they still get a lot out of new experiences like that when they are young – even if is is new lights, sounds, shapes and colours. It’s fun for you too! She is growing up! What a lovely week – enjoy toddler sense x
Author
Sheis growing up too fast. Toddler sense was fun x
I think aquariums are fascinating for little children – Sebastian loves it too
Author
We will definitely go again x
We had a quiet week too but I was relieved after such a busy Easter week or two!
Author
Yes I think sometimes an enforced break does you good x
It does sound like a real contrast. I quite like a few days of downtime after a few busy ones, though. My kids have always adored aquariums, too, which my brother loves, as he manages an aquatics shop! Hope you enjoyed Toddler Sense, too x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Author
Toddler sense was lots of fun, I think she will really enjoy this course x
I kind of has a week like that some quiet boring days and others were I really need more hours in the day like this weekend #WotW
Author
I know that feeling x
That sounds like a lovely weekend, but I know what you mean about the rest of the week seeming boring in comparison as ours was pretty much the same. Can’t wait for the next bank holiday! #WotW
Author
Oh me neither! x
Great word and sounds like a great Easter was had
Author
We did, hope you had a lovely time too x
Aww! Sounds like a lovely weekend x
Author
It was fab x
Sounds like a super weekend but I know what you mean about then having a few days on the trot without anything planned. Good word. x
Author
I think it just drops your energy a little x
good word, and I think it’s good to not be ‘on the go’ all the time! Down time is important too 🙂
Author
Yes you are probably right. I just find it hard to adjust x
I think for me looking back at last week it would be BUSY… took me a week to get back to routine after Easter 🙁
Author
Busy is good x
Did you knit that fish? Sounds like you had a lovely Easter weekend. Family meals are always great.
Author
No it was at the end of the Aquarium. It was very nice, I hope you had a fun time too x
I love chilled days I think they are just as important! x
Author
They are nice, I just seem to feel the change when I go from a full house to a half empty one x
Great word! Sounds like you had some relaxation time there 🙂 My word? Hectic! But then it always is! Thank you for linking to PoCoLo x

A pleasure x
