April Favourites 2020

April Favourite 2020 | Macbook flatlay

It might seem strange to do a monthly favourites considering what’s happening right now, but I enjoy putting them together. Mainly because it makes me think of the positives and what I’ve enjoyed throughout the month instead of focusing on the news. Also just a quick note that this post contains no makeup, as I’ve only worn it once this month. Which is very new for me.

This is my April Favourites 2020.

Decluttering

Lockdown has been a great time to declutter and boy have I enjoyed it. I’ve gone through practically everything and found new homes for things whilst getting rid of the old. I went through my makeup, cleaned everything off and had a shuffle round and now I am very much looking forward to wearing it again. It’s also very nice knowing where everything is.

Disney Plus

I don’t think a day has gone past where I haven’t watched something on Disney Plus. I’ve made a conscious effort this month to watch more films and most of them have been Disney films. It’s been really nostalgic to go back and watch old shows and films which I am very much enjoying.

Pinterest

April is the month where I finally started making Pinterest graphics and I’ve actually enjoyed doing it. I have no idea why I didn’t start doing it sooner, as they are really handy. I’m still not entirely sure what I’m going on Pinterest, but I’m very much enjoying using it at the moment.

Baking and Cooking

 I have spent a lot of time this month in the kitchen making all kinds of things. I’ve always really enjoyed cooking and it’s been nice to have more time to do it. I tend to share a lot of my bakes on Instagram, but if you would like to see more recipes on the blog, be sure to let me know.

The Sims 4

The Sims 4 is one of those games that I have phases on. I’ll play it 24/7 for a while and then leave it for months. Early April was one of those phases. I spent hours on this game, and it is such a fun way to pass the time. The Sims 2 is still my favourite, but unfortunately I can’t run it on my Mac. However The Sims 4 is still a great game.

There we have it! That was my April Favourites 2020.

Definitely a bit different from usual, but so has most of the year.

What were you loving throughout the month?

Stay safe and thank you for reading!

    I can definitely relate to some of those! I’m currently learning to you Pinterest properly, and like you I’m not quite sure what I’m doing yet haha, it’s actually kind of complicated! But creating the graphics is definitely fun. I’ve also been playing the Sims (3, not 4) and it’s my first time playing the Sims 3, I also think that the Sims 2 are the best!
    Have a great rest of the week 🙂

      Yes, I’m exactly the same! Love making them, but not sure how to best utilize them haha! I never got into the Sims 3, but I really want to give it a go. Thank you, and you too xx

    I have been doing the exact same things as you! I agree with the over-playing of Sims; once we remember that we have it and then neglect it for months again after 😂

    I love that bloggers are sharing their favourites. We have so much time on our hands right now so there is so much we can do! I love decluttering and playing the sims too it’s the only thing keeping me sane right now.

    I’ve been loving Disney+ too and Pinterest has helped me gain so much traffic, this lockdown gives us plenty of time to create graphics!

    Oh, I bloody love the Sims! So gutted I can’t play it right now. It’s such a good way to unwind and escape from the real world for a bit which is so necessary during these hard times right now. Fab post as always xx

    I love your diary it’s so pretty! One of the best things about decluttering is definitely the feeling of knowing where everything is like you said!!

    I’ve just put up my own monthly favourites and I mentioned that they’re my favourite types of posts to read right now so I’m pleased to read yours! I’ve had serious periods of obsession with the Sims so I don’t trust myself to download the newest one or I’d never get anything done!

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 🦖😂

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? 👇🏼
