Where We Have Been

So we haven't been blogging a lot over the past few months which we have valid reasons for but hopefully soon we should at least have one post up per week.

Ava & Bella loving their new home :)

Where we have been?
Me (Katie) well my illnesses haven't been too good lately to the point where I haven't opened up my laptop in ages. My Colitis flare up has no sign of settling down and I am still waiting for an appointment with the Gastro ward. The fatigue is getting the better of me. My painkillers dose has been upped which obviously comes with more side effects so I am like a zombie pretty much most of the day.

Bethany .. welll things have finally gone to plan for her and my Brother and they now are living in Berkshire so we live in the same county finally and their place is about 20 minutes away. It all happened so fast that they had just under two weeks to buy everything for the flat and pack everything up. So on the 19th October Beth, my Brother and most of both of our families all came together to help move in. For the past year they have had bad luck when it comes to finding a place to rent so it was all hush hush when they got the go ahead to move as they didn't want to temp fate.

So things have been abit manic lately and this weekend will be even more manic as on Saturday Beth and Tom are having a little housewarming party/get together, Sunday myself, Beth, Tommy and the girls are off to Harry potter Tour and then on Monday it is Bethany's 22nd Birthday and as Tommy will be working, I am staying the night before so I can spend the day with her and go for lunch and obviously a Costa. Once this weekend is over then I will hopefully well I WILL be seeing Beth least once a week and hopefully most weekends. I shall take my laptop over to hers and as she lives next to Costa we shall be having a blogging costa date most weeks haha.

I have energy for the first time today and I guess the medication and coffee is to thank for that. So I am going to try and write a few posts so I can put them up next week :) Hope you are all well :)

Love Katie xx  

Auntie Buys: Matching Outfit From Next

Whenever I go into town I always pop into Next to have a look but not for me, for the girls. I think Next is probably the best shop for children clothes and they actually have both sizes for the girls so they can match. Few weeks ago I was in Windsor and they had this lovely top and leggings for the girls in both of their sizes and the prices are not that bad either.

Watercolour Elephant T-Shirt - £6
I love the quality of this t-shirt which is so soft. I love the sequins aswel it makes a normal t-shirt look more interesting. Perfect length for Ava but bit long on Bella but that is because she is a petite 9 months old baby girl.

Navy Leggings - £2.50/£3.50
To go with the t-shirt I got Navy Leggings which have a crochet lace detail at the hems. They also both have a black pair of these leggings as for the price they are amazing quality. I thought Navy looks bit more interesting than a black pair and thought Navy could go with pretty much most tops.

What I love most about these clothes from Next is that they are in the offer which is 1 for £6, 2 for £10 and 3 for £15 which I think is amazing offer. Not every leggings/tops are in this offer but there are a lot to choose from and I have gotten 3 outfits in this deal so far and will defiantly buy more for the girls. I get Ava 3-4 years old and she is 4 years old in December and it fits perfectly so I may start getting 4-5 years old for her next year and for Bella I got 6-9 months which are abit too big for her but I got her that so she is in the clothes abit more longer than if I would of got her 3-6 months. Bella is now 9 months old and is a very small baby for her age and is still in 3-6 months old clothing but then again it depends on what shops as no shops actually are the same size. In H&M I get Bella 4-6 months which is big and Ava 2-4 years which fits so it is defiantly a hit and miss with shops.

Has any of you guys got this t-shirt or any clothes from Next? What do you think of the price and quality? Let me know :)

Auntie Buys: White Cardigan From Asda George

The other day in Asda I spotted this cute white cardigan with a crocheted design which I thought made a normal white cardigan really pretty and different. This was only £5 which I thought was good considering it is more than just a plain cardi. The material feels lovely quality and with it having long sleeves it is totally ideal for the weather now.

I got size 3 to 6 months for Bella Mai as she is a petite baby who is nearly 9 months old so I hope this fits her now and last over the autumn time. I think a basic cardigan is so essential for any ages to be honest and I am a massive lover of a black cardigan haha!! I shall get a picture of Bella in this cardigan and upload on our Instagram - essextowindsor :)

I do like clothes from George in Asda but they don't do matching clothes in size for Ava and Bella so I tend to not look in there lately but I did a lot of clothes for Bella from Asda when she was in Beth's Belly as their baby clothes are adorable and good price. Have any of you mummy bloggers got this cardi? Let me know :)
