Always Time For Cuddles

When you have a baby, people tell you to make the most of everything because time flies by so fast.

If you are anything like me, you won't believe what they say until one day you blink and your baby is no longer so small.

Those precious milestones seem to pass by in an instant.

All the firsts, smiles, steps, words.

The scribbles pictures that won't make sense to others but mean the world to you.

It was only last week when my 4 year old Gracie had her first day at school and this Tuesday just gone my youngest daughter, Layla started play school.

And of course it isn't just the big events, it's the smallest moments that can be the most meaningful.

Like cuddles.

This is something I think I have taken for granted at times.

Fairy Non Bio is proud to have seen millions of mums through every baby grow, every toddler's favourite party dress and then, all too soon, that first school uniform. So we understand how quickly this time passes and therefore the value of every precious cuddle.

As my children have grown older they have been less inclined to just sit and have a hug, so when the moment arises, I really do cherish it.

C is for….. Cuddles

Everyone loves a good cuddle right? Just manages to instantly cheer you up, well they make me smile.

Yesterday Layla was a bit naughty and broke her sister's glasses, this meant she got told off, queue one unimpressed toddler stomping off with the hump.

Gracie being the lovely sister that she is, went and found Layla hiding by the sofa and decided to give her a cuddle to make her happy again.

I'm pretty certain it should have been Layla dishing out the cuddles to say sorry but I thought it was such a sweet moment anyway.

Do your children get along??

Mummy Cuddles

Ok to a lot of people this won't seem like anything special however I think one of those great moments as a parent is when you get a nice big cuddle off your child, you just can't beat the feeling it gives you. If you are feeling a little down, a cuddle is just the pick me up you need.

As my kids keep getting older (how do we stop that?), there seems to be a distinct lack of cuddles, even from my youngest daughter.

Since Layla learnt to move, she is not content unless she is roaming around doing something, so sitting on mummy's lap for more than a few seconds is not top of her agenda.

So yesterday when I was sat on the sofa and Layla came over and said "up", I won't lie, I was more than a little happy.

That cheeky monkey below made my day, I think we have to make the most of these little moments because soon enough it will be way too embarassing to be cuddling mummy.

Do your children still enjoy a good cuddle with you??
