About Me

I’m Flo, and I’m just going with the flow in life and in motherhood!

I’m a first time mum from Buckinghamshire. My son, Jett, was born in the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and I was unable to access the necessary support. Instead, I turned to the brilliant parenting community online. I’ve been navigating being a first time mum in a global pandemic one day at a time, and sharing that journey with whoever will listen!

From family days out to seasonal fun, magical memory making and motherhood hacks, I love sharing it all. I’ve always had a reputation for being ‘extra’ and this has definitely extended into my parenting style. I love to add a bit of sparkle and magic to everything we do!

Come on – let’s go with the flow together!

🐰 MAY STORY SACK 🐰 I forgot this was at the 🐰 MAY STORY SACK 🐰

I forgot this was at the post office so I am very late in the day to share this! May’s theme was “The Great Outdoors”, which was great because that’s Jett’s favourite place at the moment 😄 This months sack included…

📕 An interactive book about the outdoors. We have a few of these @nationaltrust books and love them!
🔍 Magnifying glass
👀 Binoculars 
🐦 A bird whistle which I know Jett is going to LOVE - it makes such a funny noise haha!
🧠 Nature themed memory game
🌷 Nature themed flash cards (question @kiddiekin_official - do the numbers on the cards mean anything? I can’t work it out 🤪)
🐰 A gorgeous @lankakade bunny

There was also a bonus treat in this box - a full sized Cadbury’s bar!!! Deffo keeping that for myself 😂

This bag has come at the perfect time because from Jett’s second birthday we are *officially* starting the 1000 hour challenge (not just casually attempting it like I have been doing), so these props will be really useful at encouraging more outdoor play and activities!

If you haven’t checked out the @kiddiekin_official story sacks yet, this is your sign to do so now!

🎂 BIRTHDAY BOOKSHELF 🎂 I haven’t shared a 🎂 BIRTHDAY BOOKSHELF 🎂

I haven’t shared a bookshelf in a while, have I? It’s Jett’s birthday in one week (!!) so this weeks book shelf is all about him…in a roundabout way at least haha. So what books are on our shelf?

🤍 Guess How Much I Love You? By Sam McBratney
👶🏻 The Story of Jett from @letterfestgifts (a gift from us to him on his first birthday!)
🌙 On The Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman - this was a baby shower gift that was one of the first books we read him, and was featured as a caption on his first birthday pic 🥺)
🌻 The Year We Muddled Through by @laurenifen - because he’s a 2020 baby and this is a book all about that!
🥚 Jett and the Egg from @letterfestgifts 
🌈 The Wonderful World Was Waiting by @laurenifen - a follow up to TYWMT
🚀 The Queen’s Lift Off by Steve Anthony - Jett’s favourite book at the moment, which he can partially recite!!!
🏝 Isle Of You by David LaRochelle - a book about being you!
🌝 The Little Seed - the original Moon and Me story by Andrew Davenport. This was a special Christmas gift, personalised in a special box, because Jett is our very own moon baby!

Lots of special books with personal meanings to Jett for him to enjoy in his final week before he turns TWO! No, I can’t believe it either.

AD | PR Product 🧁 Okay I don’t even know wher AD | PR Product 🧁 Okay I don’t even know where to start with these INCREDIBLE brownies from @bakesbyrosie_ 😍😍

I’ve followed @bakesbyrosie_ since she started out and have always thought her cakes and brownie selection boxes looked amazing - so when she offered to gift me some I of course said yes! And oh man, I’m so glad I did because these were truly top tier brownies. So much so that Jonny actually said “Finch Bakery who?” - which, as a Finch mega fan, is saying something!

Thick, gooey and with such a great variety of incredible toppings, there’s not much more to say other than I think these are some of the best brownies I’ve ever had. Ever!!! My favourite from this batch was the Oreo/Hershey one 😋

If you’re in Buckinghamshire, shop local, support a small business and try some of @bakesbyrosie_ cakes and brownies! 🙌🏻

Now just one question remains… are you team brownies or team blondies?

For so much of my life I never wore what I wanted For so much of my life I never wore what I wanted because I didn’t think I had the “right” body to be able to do so. Thanks to years of absorbing messages from mainstream media, like “orange is a fat persons colour”, “black makes you look slimmer” and “stripes make you look wider”, patterns and colours were something I usually steered well away from.

I always show a lot of love for these trousers on the ‘gram, because they were one of - if not the first - “out there” item of clothing which I bought myself. I’ve worn them at a size 12 and a size 16 and still love them to pieces. Most importantly, I still feel good in them 🙌🏻

Life is honestly just too short to not wear something because you don’t believe you have the “right” body. What’s the “right” body anyway? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Whether it’s a certain style or cut of clothing, a colour or pattern, if you love it and feel good in it, wear it! I promise you won’t regret it 💛
