A very ordinary moment, but also a beautiful one! Well put. I will bear in mind what you said about a well stocked park if we ever move. I can’t wait to take Fred to the park and play on the climbing frames with him

I never go out if it’s raining. Ever. Unless I HAVE to and it’s in the car. I should really force myself to take the kids out more when the weather isn’t at it’s best.
I love having time with our two individually too. It’s extra special time when I can go out with LP or take Little Man somewhere. It’s also lovely having time as a family but I love having the one on one time too.

What a lovely ordinary moment. I often take Jake on walks to our local park and I always wonder where all the children are as the park is almost always empty. Quite sad really.

H is an end of August baby and started reception last September, and has loved it (thank goodness) – so I get your worries. I think for me it was MY worries, as she just got on with it and didn’t think twice – it was school and that was that. Having said that she was at nursery four long days a week and now she’s doing shorter days but is more tired with all the learning.

I loved my Wednesdays off too, trips to the park and all that were great, I miss them now but the nights are getting lighter again so after school ones will be back soon, thank goodness!

Your park looks lovely too, you’re lucky!

This is such a beautiful post!
The park to yourselves looks great and your little Frog looks like she’s having so much fun! All her wet weather gear is adorable!
Having a park is something that is really missing here and as you say its something that brings such strong memories from our own childhood days!
Thank you for sharing this lovely moment x

Lovely photos and lovely post. We all make the mistake of letting time pass too quickly and not stopping to enjoy the moment. You can’t beat some quality 1-2-1 time with your children, it’s free and they adore it. Thanks for linking up and sharing your outdoor fun with Country Kids.

Lovely post Molly and that last paragraph completely resonated with me. Sometimes I think about my career and think I haven’t dome enough, before the girls I was very career drive and now I feel like I have just put it on hold for a considerable amount of time. But when I actually think about it, I am actually doing the most amazing thing in the world, raising two little ladies. There can’t be anything much better than that. X

so lovely and so true. I have Friday’s with Erin and I love it. We stay in bed till 9ish after Chloe and Dyl go to school. We often go out for lunch too! Magical.

They do *sob*. On the up side though, there seem to be more and more things that we can do together now. Must admit though, I do prefer the park with no rain!
