Daisie turns 3!

 ***WARNING!! Extra picture heavy post***

 

Today for Daisie's birthday treat we headed off to London and paid the sea life centre and M&M world a visit.

London didn't seem to be what Daisie thought it would be when we first arrived she kept repeating I want to go to London after a good few times of telling her we are in London she went quiet, We decided to walk from London Victoria to the sea life centre in south bank a long and very busy walk but with the weather being so nice it was nice to spend it walking rather than on a train/bus.

Once we were in the sea life centre we had to walk over a clear walk way that had the tank of sharks underneath Daisie was really hesitant to walk over it as she thought she would fall in bless her :')

Despite the huge que behind us she wasn't in a hurry to walk over just in case she did fall in.

I was pretty disappointed with M&M world, I expected it to be pricey and that wasn't a problem but if the tubes of colours that were £1.99 for 1OOg had scales I'd have purchased some but because they hadn't I wouldn't know how much I have spent until I was paying and that really put me off! 

I'd much rather watch what we were spending but I suppose that's were they catch you.

They had some lovely little sets you could buy and better yet you could personalize your m&ms too.

Daisie's 3rd birthday plans

As ever I'm a super organized mumma that is planning Daisie's 3rd birthday party!

Her birthday isn't until July but every year I plan the girls birthday's months ahead and still end up a walking ball of stress because I've ran out of time to get things be it decorations,party food,presents or celotape.

Anyway to the point...

This year I planned to book a build a bear party for her but after our first visit there the other week I wasn't to impressed with the range of teddys you get on the budget I had set 

I don't know if it's just my local one but there's was 2 teddies to choose from they were the same just a different colour.

But that being the cheapest option was still going to cost me 1OO not including a trip for something to eat afterwards and tbh the girls visit lasted no more than 5 minutes, I was leaving it down to the parents to add extras like a voice,t-shirt and some accesories because at this moment in time and with her only being 3 1OO is a alot to pay out not to mention our train fares to get there, extras for my girls bears and then food afterwards for the party guests.

It would be crippling, I'm thinking once she's older may be a better idea :)

So... 

It's a crafty tea party 

being July the weather is usually pretty nice so I'm setting up a crafts table in the garden for the kids to go crazy with, the BBQ will be on for the adults and a little tea party will be set up inside with ice cream and a whole selection of toppings.

I also plan to take her to London aquarium or zoo for the day on her actual birthday
