This Week In Photos baby | family | instagram | life | lifestyle | scout | this week in photos | update | weekly | whenflowersfall

This past week has been one of the hardest since the very first two weeks of Scout's life.
Whether it was down to hormones or lack of sleep, I just felt incredibly low and found each day a complete struggle. Scout has been pretty awesome though. Since discovering how to smile at 4 weeks old, he hasn't really stopped. Unless that is, when he's screaming his little head off. We actually ended up taking him to the doctors on Friday to see about the possibility of him having reflux. All of the symptoms read familiar and the doctor agreed with us. Since then, we have been giving him infant gaviscon and it has seemed to help quite a bit. He now happily lies on his back without struggling too much and he's no longer trying to constantly swallow what is in his throat.We think he's been having a growth spurt this weekend. He's been really groggy and super needy, but we can see differences in him each day.
Liam and I had our 5 year anniversary yesterday, hence this post didn't get written then; and although we didn't do anything to celebrate, I can honestly say that I am so thankful to have him in my life. When he's not at work he helps with Scout, giving me a break so I can get things like this and my youtube videos done. It really makes me wonder how single parents do it. I have nothing but respect for anyone who does.
Today has been much easier. I think my body is slowly getting used to the broken sleep and baby screaming. Everyone kept telling me that things get easier after six weeks, and I really hope they're right.

Bringing Back The Vlogs daily vlogs | dailyjones | family | life | lifestyle | vlogging | youtube

Three weeks ago we decided to take a little holiday from the dailies. We still have a rather small audience so we felt like we could sneak away without anyone missing us too much. Since Liam has now gone back to work I've felt like picking up the camera again, and we shall be bringing them back on Saturday! Well, Friday will be our first day recording again.

Liam has also decided he wants to be more involved, so in the next couple of months he'll be getting his own vlogging camera and we will finally have some more Liam footage. Little old me all the time can sure get boring.

The break was nice, but it will be great to get back to documenting our family growing. My mum used to film a lot when we were kids, and I still love being able to go back and watch old footage of our time growing up.

We're having a baby!! family | first born | having a baby | our news | pregnancy | pregnant | whenflowersfall

Ok, so I figured some of you may not want to watch our vlog, so I thought I'd just write a teeny tiny post!

Liam and I found out four weeks ago that we are expecting our little nugget and even though it wasn't expected, we are both really happy.
I'm 8 weeks right now, and it's getting much harder to hide the fact that I'm not as active with blogging and youtube at the moment. The reason being is that the first trimester hates me.

Anywho, I've been writing weekly updates since we found out, and I'll post those within the next few days.
I'm so excited.

An Update Of Sorts - Aunty time!

Hi, my little flowers!

How are you all coping in this heat?
Personally, I seem to be stuggling a little. I'm usually such a lover, but right now I am sitting in front of my new found friend, Holmes.

Yup, this dude has his butt firmly placed on my desk.

If you read WFF on a regular basis, you may have realised that I've been a little off with posting recently, and I just want to say a huge sorry for that. I've been incredibly lazy and life things have been taking priority atm.

A couple of weeks ago Liam began working half of his week in the 'other' offices. These offices being three hours away, which also means that he stays in a B&B and doesn't actually come home after his shift.  This means that I'm spending more time with my own company more than I'd like. But, that's what you have to do for a better life, hey. It's taking me longer than I thought it would to get used to, and I kind of just go into my own bubble.

In other news, it was our four year anniversary yesterday and we spent the afternoon down by the river having a picnic in the sun. After everything we've dealt with in the past four years, I'm happy that we've made it this far, and I really look forward to the next four. Hopefully at some point we can actually save up enough moneys to get married.

Today, I'm going to become an aunty for the third time. My little brothers other half is currently in full blown labour and I cannot say I'm envious in this heat. Although in reality I'm insanely jealous and can't wait for it to be my turn. It seems it's down to Liam and I to give my mum her first grandson. Girlies just seem to run in our family and Kaitlyn will be a welcomed addition.

I shall leave you here with a promise of more regular posts (again). But this time I am really going to make the effort to bring back the blogging mojo.

Happy Sunday, sweets!

Monday Make-up - Snowed In! birthdays | fall | family | flowers | gets | in | life | monday make-up | monday makeup | red | simple | snow | the | way | when | whenflowersfall

Hey my beauties!

I finally have my house back to myself! My poor sister and niece had gotten stranded at ours for an extra day and didn't end up leaving until yesterday. She sent me a couple of photos of the roads she encountered on the way home, and all I can say is, thank goodness I wasn't driving.

It was so lovely to see both of them and you can see a few snippits of what we got up to, plus my birthday antics in my newest vlog below. 

I'm hoping to get back to my good blog & youtube routine within the next couple of weeks. It's Liams birthday tomorrow so I have another week of travelling to go see his family. Obviously when life happens, blogging comes second, and believe me when I say I miss it. 

So far today, I have edited two videos, written this post, made a surprise for tomorrow and I'm currently willing Youtube to upload quicker. Because of this, my make-up today is really simple. 

I hope you are all well! I shall be back properly very soon!! Promise! 

Sam

Hey, lovelies!

I'm officially back from my little Christmas break and I felt like sharing an outfit I wore on Boxing day with you. 

Liam's family and I went out to the local Indian restaurant in the evening for an amazing meal. Funnily enough though, only one out of the five out us ate an Indian dish. 

We also took part in the pub quiz that we didn't know was taking part, but somehow we ended up winning! The prize was a bottle of whiskey, so it's safe to say that Liam's dad was pretty chuffed. 

I'm sorry about the quality of these photos. Liam took them on my phone for me as I didn't actually take my camera with me.

Are you all looking forward to NYE?

Where, oh where have I been?? blog break | catch up | family | hilton | holiday | hotel | leeds | niece | sister | toddler | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Well, hello you lovely ones!

It's been a really long ten days or so since I last posted. Liam had two weeks off from work and we most definitely made the most of it. 

Last weekend, we spent a couple of nights at The Double Trees Hilton hotel in Leeds and enjoyed some meals out and a day of shopping. (Even though I didn't buy much at all! If you follow me on twitter, you would have seen me moaning.)

The stay was amazingly relaxed and I really felt as though we were on holiday, when really we were a twenty minute train journey from home. 

This Friday just gone, my sister and niece came to visit. With them living on the coast of West Wales, I barely ever seen them and with it coming up to a year we thought it was time for a visit. My niece Lily had just turned one last time I saw her, and this time she was twice the size, twice as talkative and twice as adorable! My sister spent a couple of days here with me and then left Lily with her Aunty Sammi whilst she attended a work course up in York. 

She may be an energetic nearly two year old, but I had the best two days. I laughed so much at her silly little character, and my heart melted on Monday night when she fell asleep in my arms after a busy day of swimming. 

It sounds silly, but the best part had to be hearing her shouting 'Saaaammmiii, Saaaammmmiiii,' when she woke up first thing in the morning. 

I cried buckets when they left for home last night. 

So after a pretty long break, When Flowers Fall is now back to taking priority. 

We will have a new addition to the family within the next month, and with this will come a new feature on the blog. Keep your eyes peeled. 

I'm also hoping to get back into filming for WFF on YouTube, I think by now, I've had a month or so off, time to clear my head, and even though in that time I received my first negative comment, I feel now is the time to get back into it. 

I have missed you all bundles and I hope you're all really well!!

What have I missed???

    Hopefully this time I won't get hacked again!! But as a precaution, we are looking into getting me a new laptop. Virus scanners just don't seem to be finding what's letting these people get onto my laptop. :/
    Anywhooooo, now I can actually type a proper post, I can show you a few bits that I got for Christmas!
Just a quick disclaimer though, I'm not doing this to brag at all, I just know a lot of people enjoy seeing these kinds of posts. 

 Blush Professional 88 palettes

 Angry Birds speaker

 Mulberry-esque handbag

 River Island Hats

 Rimmel Glameyes Mascara & W7 Africa Bronzer

 River Island boot slippers

 Large Yankee Candle

Welsh Cloggau Guardian Angel Locket

   I also got to spend a couple of days with Liams family back home and enjoyed a couple of drinks with friends on Boxing day.
   I should hopefully back in full blogging action from now on and I've got a good few things to review so keep your eyes peeled for those.

I hope you all had an absolutely fabulous Christmas!

I'm Back! about me | family | get to know me | home | my life | personal | photos | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | winter | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    Sorry I've been so absent, I took a three day break from blogging as my mum, sister and niece came to visit all the way from West Wales. They spent 6 hours on Monday driving to get here and left this morning to make the horrid drive back. I've had the most fun 3 days ever and I am missing my Lilypie so much already! Whilst they were here we got lost in Bradford, ate far too much takeaway foods and spent an hour and a half in Wacky Warehouse playing in the ball pit.
    Unfortunately there has been a teeny down side to these past few days too, my sister has been suffering with a really bad cold and muggins here caught it off of her. I am now tucked up on my sofa, with a blanket and a hot cup of blackcurrant squash. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse than it is now, because not only do I feel like complete and utter pants, but I really want to have the energy to write some posts and record some new videos too!! I've missed it so much, I hadn't actually realised how big of a part blogging played in my life now.
    Anywhooooo, I am going to make this a short one so I don't ramble on too much, I have taken lots of footage of Lily whilst she was here, but I'm not too sure my sister would be cool with me posting it (I have to admit I don't 100% trust the internets myself), so I'll stick a couple of pics on here instead.

Please excuse the incredibly awful hat hair and make-up free face, my cold had kicked in that day.

Welcome to my humble abode! cat | family | home | house tour | kitchen | life | personal | tour | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi lovelies!
I got really bored yesterday, so I thought I'd do a little house tour for y'all. As I say in the video, it is where I spend most of my time. This place is the mine and Liams first home, before this, we lived with his parents and as much as I love them to death, it's so nice having my own place. What do you guys think?
