This week started on a high with Eliza’s 5th birthday and a magical princess party. She had a brilliant time and got lots of lovely presents. We finished off the day in style with a trip to Bournemouth Pier where Hubby and I did the Pier Zip before sending Nanny and Kian down it too.
On Monday I headed to London’s Olympia for the Toy Fair. It was a real eye opener and I was very lucky to see some of the fabulous new toys being released later this year but I did find the day exhausting.
Hubby had the week off work this week so we took advantage of Sebby being at pre-school and headed our for breakfast at the local Giraffe restaurant on Wednesday morning. It was lovely to have some ‘us’ time, even if we did go supermarket shopping afterwards.
Eliza got a new bike for her birthday so we have been trying to get outside and practice as much as possible this week. She has done really well as at the beginning of the week she had to be pushed to school but yesterday she managed to ride about half a mile at Potterne Park and kept up really well with Isaac.
Here is my week in pictures:

Having breakfast and a supermarket trip without the children is quite a treat – I’d love that! The pier zip sounds fun too!
Such a busy week for you (although it often seems that way). Glad Eliza enjoyed her party.
It sounds like Eliza had a lovely week and she’s making good progress with her cycling. The pier zip sounds terrifying!
Hooray for ‘us’ time and I am so glad Eliza had such a wonderful party. Baby would love a Frozen party x
Love the idea of sneaking us time – must try to do that! And that’s great work on the bike riding.
Happy birthday Eliza, it looks and sounds like she had a great day. Hope you have a great week x #project366
So many people I know went to the toy fair at Olympia and it sounds absolutely amazing x
It sounds like a great, if busy week! We love having breakfast out too. You are so brave to do the zip wire. Kaz x
I used to love playing pooh sticks it was something I remember doing vividly from my childhood. It just isn’t the same these days.
London Olympia is huge! First time I went I couldn’t believe the size of the place. Happy Birthday and well done for all your cycling 😀
We are planning a visit to Bournemouth over Easter (or maybe even half term in a couple of weeks) and I really want to do the zip wire! How nice to have time with the husband. I love it when I get to spend valuable alone time with mine.
love that dinosaur onesie and seeing Sebby in the water 🙂
Happy birthday to Eliza – looked like she had a ball.
well done to you for doing the zip wire at the pier! The toy fair must have been very interesting, but all of those fairs are so tiring as you have to cram so much in and talk so far! x
Happy Birthday Eliza.
Lovely piccie of Sebby in the pool.
Aww the sleeping dinosaur pic is soooo cute. Happy birthday Eliza and loving the bike riding and swimming pics x
Happy Birthday Eliza 🙂 Having breakfast minus kids is a real treat! Love the sleepy dinosaur shot and the brilliant smile in the swimming photo x
The pictures I’ve seen from the Toy Fair look fab, I love London Olympia for large events like that. Will be putting it on my list of fairs to go to next year.
The pier zip sounds brilliant.

Happy 5th birthday! Love the little dinosaur!
Had never heard of the toy fair until this week! Might make the effort to go next time
Busy week! How adorable is that dinosaur onesie!
Great photos, I’ve really lost my photography mojo atm, hoping it comes back soon
