Good morning peeps,
It's been a really busy few days for me & today is going to be another one!
I'm sooooo very proud to say I'm a great-auntie again & our gorgeous little Ollie is now a big brother at only 18 months old as the little lady Casey Violet has arrived safe & well. I know I'm biased but she's just as scrummy as her big brother, I guess that's another little one for us to totally spoil lol.
I've been playing catch up at home and had so little time for blogging, I didn't even get to enter the challenges with my last card but fingers crossed after today life will settle down again.
I will pop back either later or tomorrow and draw my LOTV candy winner and post some more sweet stuff :)
