Luxuryblush Turns 2!

Two years in and 133 posts later, here we are. It is a little mad seeing just how much this space has grown over two years. Considering I did this exact post last year, I thought I would do a similar thing and react to last years.
If you want to read that post then you can click here!
There is nothing on that post that I strongly disagree with, as I stand by everything that I listed. There are also things that I’d like to add.
This is Luxuryblush Turns 2!

It’s Okay To Take Time Off

Whether it be for personal reasons or writers block. Does anybody else ever feel really bad when they don’t stick to their schedule? For a while I felt terrible about it. I don’t know what clicked, but I suddenly realised that it isn’t a big deal. So what if I miss a day because I don’t know what to post? It’s a lot better to take some time off rather than force out content.

If Something Doesn’t Feel Right – Don’t Do It!

Sometimes emails come in with opportunities that just don’t feel right or fit right with my blog. It’s totally okay not to take these opportunities, as it’s a lot better not to take than take and regret.

Plan Ahead

Scheduling posts was a life saver during blogmas, as I got most done before December which meant more family time for Christmas which is what the festive period is all about. Planning also means if you do have writers block chances are you’re covered.
With my resolutions for the previous post, I think I’ve done quite well!
Talk to People
I have tried with this one. I might not be consistent in chats, but I took part in a few and I hope to become actively involved this year. I also started commenting more on people’s Instagram posts, other than liking and moving on.
 

Getting Organised

I might not have invested in a diary for 2016, but I have for 2017, I’ve only just started filling it out, but I already feel like I have my life together. (Which makes a change)

Stop Procrastinating 

I’m half and half with this. There was a time in the year when I had everything together including work and blogging, and there are also times where everything can be done later.
That was Luxuryblush Turns 2!
I hope everyone has a great 2017!
Thank you for reading!

    Congratulations on your blog turning 2! I've been blogging for a few years but I only really began having a routine and being more consistent in 2016. So i see my blog as a one year old. Here's to a wonderful and productive year of blogging ahead.

    Happy 2 year blog birthday!!

    I too think it is okay to have time off – I took a blogging break last year and it was so needed so I could have some time to myself – forcing myself to blog would have been silly!

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

One year old baker at work👩🏼‍🍳

I’m surprised we had any mixture left to be honest😂

Water play keeping us sane in the first heatwave🌊

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣
It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I wil It doesn’t matter where we are in the world, I will still have a carbonara🍝😂

A little roundup of things we had in Greece, that wasn’t from the all inclusive buffet😅

Oh and I had to throw in the freddo cappuccino because I’m still thinking about it😋

And my first time ever trying a gyros, when in Greece right🇬🇷

What’s your go to food when on holiday?😋

Don’t get me wrong, I had a full makeup bag just to the side, but these were always out😂

From the iconic @soldejaneiro 62, which always reminds me of holiday to my much loved @charlottetilbury palette 😍

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵
Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
