When I opened Eve's bag after nursery on Friday evening I shed a few tears when I saw the lovely art works that the girls there had helped Eve create for me for Mother's Day. They had also done some baking and Eve had decorated a fairy cake for me; it was scrumptious, just like my girl, and I ate it for dessert that night after dinner. A good way to start the weekend.
We didn't have any plans for the weekend, just mainly pottering about at home and things. Mother's Day was pretty relaxed for us. I'd been up with Eve a fair bit the night before, so I was tired and didn't want to do too much.
After a nice morning where I was cooking in the kitchen and Eve was having a nice time looking through the books on the shelf, we took a quick drive over to Mothercare to get a demo of a Group 1 car seat. The Joie Stages Combination car seat faces rear and forwards. I'm really hoping that I've made the right decision buying this one.

After the demo and a bit of a lark about in the shop we went home for a walk through the woods together.
We walked over to Boca Bar to have a drink and relax for a bit. Eve had the most fantastic time wandering about, waving and saying hello to people.
Eve spied a first birthday party nearby with a bunch of a balloons. The mum of the birthday boy was very kind and let Eve play with one of the balloons, which was a great hit. Eve was ecstatic.
It was nice to kick back for an hour or so and chat 'kids n baby stuff' with people who were attending the birthday party.

We had a stroll back through the woods to our house after Boca Bar. It was really good to breath in the fresh 'woody' air and feel a bit of inner calm. Unfortunately Daddy hurt his neck carrying Eve such a long way in the sling. Think we'll have to take the pram from now on.
Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mumma's out there. It's got to be the toughest, yet most rewarding and incredible job in the world!!
