Loving this set up from my fab rep featuring our leaf discs. Before I began this journey I could name a holly and a maple leaf but I’ve learnt so much whilst painting and have enjoyed discovering more about nature so thanks for that guys!

Can you name lots of leaves and plants or are you a novice like myself?

Hey everyone, I’ve not been around much and if I’m honest it’s done me the world of good to have a huge social media and painting break. Sometimes I think we all need to take a step back and focus on ourselves and our families ❤️

I’m now heavily pregnant and due to give birth in 2 weeks, I’ve had both children’s birthdays the past 2 months and now my eldest has started Reception and my current youngest has started Pre-school so it’s been super busy here and I’ll been completely focused on home life.

WEATHER ☀️🌈❄️☁️☔️

How is the weather where you are? It’s cloudy in Essex today but luckily no rain! I really don’t feel like we are having a summer this year… I’m not complaining too much about no heat though as I’ve got 8 weeks left of my pregnancy so I don’t fancy a heatwave making me too hot 🙈

Ad/Pr yoto

We are really enjoying our yoto box from Yoto] it’s a great way to give children screen free electronic time. There are 6 categories to listen to: stories, music, sound effects, radio, podcast and activities. You can also record your own stories and music too.

I set this up for little to listen to nature abs weather sounds while matching the sound to the discs.

I love the freedom and independence yoto gives Little! He can pop a card in and listen to what he wants. He knows if pushes the right orange button twice he can listen to yoto radio which is his favourite at the moment. He loves to dance to the music.

Yoto gives me the time to feed Titch in peace while giving Little something to do on his own reinforcing independent play.

You can also download the free yoto app on your phone where you can listen to more cards, stations and stories. You’ll see your collection of cards, adding a new one is easy, you just tap the card on the phone. We use the app in Daddy’s car to listen to our collection.

Yoto can also be used as a night light which you can select the colour through the app. We love the clock function which will be great to help learn time.
