Citrus Ice Cubes


I've been wanting to drink more water recently but i just find it so boring and tasteless, give me a diet coke any day! Upon searching the web on how to make water more interesting to drink i came across...fruit ice cubes! I just had to try them so ran out to pick up some citrus fruits, lime and orange this time. I went for citrus just because it seemed the safest bet because you have lemons and stuff in drinks all the time.

I just started out by slicing the fruits then cutting out the individual segments making sure they were small enough to fit in the icecube tray. I then filled my tray with water and popped a segment of fruit in each, then just left it to freeze overnight.


They actually have a lot more taste than I thought they would but it's really refreshing, and a really nice idea for parties or BBQs it even if you just fancy adding a bit of flavour to your water like I did.

A trip to Whitby!

As I've been pretty quite recently i thought, I'd update and tell you all about our trip to Whitby, a lovely little seaside town near Scarborough, We (Aria and I) went with my Dad, Grandma and cousin Rebecca, Simon was working so unfortunately he couldn't make it. Here are some of my favourite photos of the day:








I think we all had such a lovely day, especially Aria she was such a happy little bunny all day ;)

Where have I been?!!

Wow, so it's been over a month! Naughty  Danni!! I just really lacked motivation as I always do when starting a new blog, hopefully I'll be back for good now and I think I'll set myself up with a routine where a post maybe 3-4 times a week? I haven't decided yet, as I also have the makeup blog I share with my cousin, thetwotwentysomethings.blogspot.co.uk where we manage a daily post.

Anyway what the heck has been going on in my life? 
As usual D'Baby...



She can now sit up for real! - 12th July, that morning she could only sit up for maybe 5 seconds but after taking her to a soft play area and sitting her in the ball pool, when we brought her home she was sitting like a pro. I swear she learns things in the snap of a finger it's so strange!

Cut her first peggy - 30th July, could quite well have been before then but it was the day it first stabbed me! 

Learnt to crawl - 7th August, completely out of the blue really, again snap of a finger! Now I definitely can't  leave her for a minute, it's all USB sticks in mouth, making friends with plug sockets, and eating foreign objects off the floor from now on! 



8 months on the 8th of the 8th - how did I only just realise that?! We could have had a celebration at 8.08 too! 

So me, I went back to work on the 11th. Don't know how I feel about it yet. It feels strange to be walking without pushing around a pram! I really miss Aria though, B is having her for the time being. The good thing is i really appreciate her a lot more, not that I didn't before but I just give her so much more attention, I got in from work the other day and she was sleeping, I so wanted to wake her up just so I could cuddle her! 

I've also enrolled at the Open University studying Psychology and Child Development, it starts in October and I am beyond excited about it! I'll keep you updated on how that goes. I feel a mahoosive stationary haul coming on! My second favourite haul to makeup! 

I feel like I have so much to talk about but I'm going to end it here for now as i'll be here all day
so for now buhbye!
