Three Reviews,,

I'm not really a 'reviewer'.
 But here we go with my three little reviews.. and an endearing picture of Molly in a hat ;)


Number one is of my dear pal Josh's new blog iwanttobeafarmer The title says it all really. Having grown up in a faming community and moved to the concrete filled landscape of Leicester I find it refreshing to of met Josh at University desperate to be a farmer whilst studying a literature degree !! His writing has a calming tone, and he and his girl Emma bought Molly this wonderful hat so if that isn't enough to encourage you to follow his journey I don't know what is. If you have anything to say on the matter or advise him in any way on his exciting future of cow pat, please do. I'm looking forward to many a visit to his 'one-day' little farmhouse with Molly to enjoy good home grown food, wine and a big farmhouse fire.

This is more of a recommendation.. 
I was super excited when Doron emailed me about this years Leicester Sky Ride which happens on Sunday! I adore my beautiful bike but I don't like riding on the road- let alone on the road with Molly on the back, SO a family trip on the Sky Ride would be just up me street (get it? no? too lame.. yeeeah) As it turns out we are going to Wales on Sunday for a little holiday and aren't able to make it. Therefore we won't be taking fun family pictures of Molly in a little helmet and cosying up to the wonderful Sky Crew who are working hard to make this exciting event happen each year- biiiiig sadface :( HOWEVER that's not to say you can't take your bike down and have a lovely day. It looks to be fantastic fun and if anything it's an excuse to get your bike out before our let down of a summer ends. The traffic free bike riding begins at 10am at Abby Park and has a set route all around Leicester. Next year Molly and I will be all over it with our matching helmets :)

Finally, the shocker- an unfavourable review!? Whaaaaaat ;) SHEINSIDE. So, let me begin. I have wanted this little Wilfox number since I saw it many months ago, but even in the sale it was like £160? Toooo much for a jumper on a student's budget (who also has a baby, a car, responsibilities..) THEN it happened, a beautiful knock-off appeared on ROMWE, another heartbreak to find it was sold out!! So I did a little digging and had a look on the next best blogger knock off site.. here it comes, Sheinside's version. My heart beat as I ordered the raggy knit for TWENTY POUNDS!!! I was so happy, you know when you get that amazing bargain that makes you smile for like a whole day. It was one of those moments. I even went to bed smiling. (This was a few weeks ago) And after what felt like forever, yesterday, it arrived. All I can describe it as is EW! It's shiny, itchy and small. Nowhere does it state that it is SHINY. And the image makes it look so plush, and soft and beautiful. Anyway, moral of the tale, stop buying stuff from Sheinside.. Never again. Heart break over a jumper. 

Well, wasn't this exciting? Maybe I'll do it again ;) Anyhoot. As we are away next week I'm going to attempt to schedule a post or two and I shall be intagraming all the way @teaandfairylights

Big love blogger x

At The Museum.

On friday Hayley and I took the Oliver and Molly to the museum.
Downsides from last year.. there was no storybook exhibition
- Molly has only just discovered books are not just for eating!
Upsides were the new play area with coloured floor tiles
-Molly got thoroughly dirty!
Thankyou for a wonderful day Hayley and Oliver :)
We shall hopefully be returning again soon!!

Molly's Diary.


As Mummy promised, the lakeside snaps of me and mummy :)
How cute do I look with my scrunchy face on the first picture?
I think I'm adorable. For example, last night, I fell asleep cuddling Thumper!
I think he's my favourite, I like kissing him more than Mummy hehe.
 I swear I get cuter everyday!

Hope you liked my post,
Love Molly xx

Market Bosworth.

The weather recently has been wonderful, it's been such a joy not to have to
layer Molly with vests and to banish the tights! Since Chaz is visiting for the 
week, on monday we decided to go out into the countryside for some lunch.
Happily, we ended up in Market Bosworth. Here are a few snaps from our day :)
(Worlds biggest bird nest or a strange type of tree that clusters like this? Either way it seemed
to be a bird hotel!)
All the quaint little houses inspired me so much to sort our front garden (as well 
as buy a new house in the sticks!) I want to paint our front door olive, get a white
picket fence, plant some climbing rose bushes and a beautiful hanging basket like the 
one above. So many plans I need to draw up some designs!

Chaz took some lovely pictures of Molly and I in front of the lake and I'm very
excited to do a separate post on those later. She really is the most perfect little creature.

Something For The Weekend.

This weekend has been a busy one.
I have mostly been doing this,,

And organising the house, with a little fun in Molly's room of course :)
I think it's my favourite space, I wish I slept there!!


Some of Molly's birthday gifts.


Molly and Daddy did this,,


I got some shots in front of Molly's Birthday Banner to go in her Birthday book! 
It may not of been on the day of her party, but she's in her birthday Leicester kit :)
(Her mullet brings me joy everyday, but I'm not sure how much she'll appreciate the 70's footballer jokes when I get these out for her first boyfriend!!)
Teaching her to high five and make American Indian calls is the best thing we've done so far..
-As well as say Mamma!! YAY!
Daddy has been a star this weekend looking after Molly while mummy types away.
I'm not going to lie, after todays hand-in I am very much looking forward to graduating.
I'm sure I won't be saying that when the world of work creeps up on me!

On Molly's Birthday We..

had a lie in.. 'til TEN!
When we got up, we made faces at Daddy..


Then we went for our very own Burger meal at Handmade Burger in the Highcross!
Molly approved, and she liked the lovely man who found her a candle for her very own birthday cupcake :)







..Thankyou lovely man.
She ate the LOT! 
(Not the candle)
All in all, I think it was a good birthday :)

Molly's Diary.





Hi there, this is Molly on Momma's other blog. Yesterday I met up with some of Momma's uni friends -she actually does stuff that isn't changing my bum!? Who knew! 
My day was full of chicken, having chats with Sophie, giggling at the boys, screwing my face up at Hermione and missing Sylva. It was a good day.
Much love,
Molly x
