Adventuring out for some time in the park

Hey guys, Jessie here, todays blog is a look back over our short adventure in the park for a coffee date with my little man! 


Living in the flat the first challenge was getting out, not an issue with the use of the sling but with the pushchair it is a whole different ball game. Hubby was on hand but as he is due back at work soon I needed to trial getting me, baby, bag and pushchair all down two flights of stairs. Cue comedic tunes. 


With a bit of trial and error for where to place the front wheel that needs to come off to fully fold it down and trialling the best way to carry him and it we made it down in one peice! (And following the coffee date back up in one peice) 


We headed out for a walk around the park followed by a stop in the shade to enjoy some time outside, I picked up this handy little travel picnic blanket on amazon for camping and wanted to test it, it's good for what it is and I can't complain for the size and price.

 Whilst he rested in the pushchair I prepped my coffee and got him some milk ready for if he wanted it then got him out so we could just chill on the mat together, we listened to a bit of music together and just enjoyed being in the outside. 

Wanting a feed sooner than his bottle was cooled down I ended up breast feeding him and using his bottle when we got home. 


The set up was really simple and didn't require much more than the usual daily bag set up, in fact the only
additional was the hot water and formula and that's something I take on a long journey any way. 




The extending wake periods were filled with listening to music cuddles, smelling flowers and bubbles, before snuggling in for a feed whilst i drank my coffee and enjoyed the serotonin boost of the outdoors and being close to my boy. Short coffee date done and some good time outside we headed back for some family time with 'da!' 

Tips for getting outside 

-Plan and get your bag ready with what ever you need based on what you are doing. 

-Don't worry about the weather just pick clothes that will keep you and baby warm and dry, embrace nature and remember there us no such thing as bad weather just poor clothing. 

-Leave the toys at home, there is plenty to explore outside for all ages. 

Though I will add I did take the bubbles not just for him but bubbles are a great way to calm and soothe adults especially in high stress situations. I even kept emergency bubbles on my desk at work! Try it next time your struggling grab a pack of bubbles and spend a few minutes blowing them! 

So that's that weeks blog we will be back with our next adventure soon. 

Thanks for reading

Scribble back 

Love Jessie

Birthday bike ride and a declutter

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the blog, this weeks adventure was a weekend adventure, mostly around the boys birthday!  This week Chris and I celebrated with a birthday bike ride, a short coffee ride before a chill day and the a meal with family. Simple but good fun! We also spent the weekend working on some sorting, for me it has mostly been working through my clothes, keeping what fits and what I wear, and then removing or repurposing what doesn't, it also gave me chance to check what I might want ahead of Christmas, a new coat has gone on the list.  Sunday started with a morning run, then the usual cleaning, and tatting about the house while the slow cooker did its thing and then a few hours of Sims.  Sims is by far my favourite game because you can just do what ever you want with it, I'm currently working my way through a legacy, I think I'm on the 5th generation of the family? Maybe the 6th, either way it's going fairly well which is pretty good! I suppose th...

Solo bike ride and Squirrels

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the adventure blog! A weekly Blog where I share with you my adventures through sports, fitness, life and everything in between! This week I want to share my first solo bike ride, well it's sort of my first solo bike ride.  Okay so background check, its not my first time riding solo on a bike, I use to do it to and from work, and I've been round the park several times on my own, and growing up back home I was always out on the bike, but this was my first solo bike ride that was just a bike ride, not a commute, but a self navigated bike ride, on a road bike, by myself.  I am not as confident a cyclist as i was growing up, but growing up I always stuck to paths or trails and there were a lot less cars, where I live now is busier for cars and I generally try to stay off the path unless its a cycle path, this has meant working my way through building my confidence on a bike.  Chris has taken me out on several bike rides, some long ones som...
