Everything my 9 month old baby eats in a day! 🍽️

A bit of a chaotic evening so not what I had planned for her but she enjoyed it!

#AD As a mum of five, there’s always something on the life admin list, but here’s one you don’t want to keep putting off if you have a child under the age of 4.

It’s called Tesco Free Parent Life Cover, and eligible parents could get £15,000 of life cover per parent, per child under four, completely free for 12 months!

💛 Each eligible parent can apply separately

💛 No bank details required

💛 Can be taken alongside existing life insurance

With Nancy still so little, it’s definitely something that caught my attention, and I thought it might be useful for some of you too!

If you’ve got a child under four, head to tescoinsurance.com/freeparentcover to check availability, the full eligibility criteria, terms and exclusions.

And share this with another parent who might find it useful! 🫶

Important information:

£15k of Life Cover, free for 12 months, for parents with a child under 4. No cash-in value at any time and cover ends if there’s a payout or at the end of the policy term. T&Cs & Exclusions Apply. Provided by Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited.

A lovely little autumn adventure in Dorset!🎃🍂

It might have been a grey and rainy day, but that wasn’t going to stop us getting out and enjoying some half-term fun!

We headed to @mapperton_estate to take on the Pippa and the Pumpkin Trail, and what a lovely little afternoon we had! 🧡

The trail is only short, which makes it perfect for little legs. Along the way, you need to visit each of the autumn-themed displays and find the missing words to solve the riddle. There’s even a little prize waiting at the end! 🎃

The grounds at Mapperton are absolutely beautiful, even in the rain, and I can only imagine how gorgeous they look on a sunny autumn day! 🍁

Of course, no day out is complete without a stop at the café! ☕️ There are some delicious homemade treats waiting for you. I went for a brownie, James had a pasty and Elsie chose a blueberry scone. All SO good! 😍

There are also an outdoor play area to explore, however with the weather being so wet, we didn’t stay long this time!

🎟️ Tickets: £5 per child (under 2s free), including one adult. Additional adults £7.50 each.

It’s a really affordable little half-term activity, especially if you’ve got younger children. A lovely excuse to get outside, explore somewhere beautiful and enjoy a sweet treat afterwards!

📍 Mapperton House, Dorset

Save this for your Dorset half-term plans and follow along for more family days out in Dorset! 🤎

$She won’t remember these bedtime stories, but I will. 🥹🤍 One of my favourite parts of the day is slowing down, getting cosy in our PJs and enjoying a little story time with Nancy. At this age, it’s less about the actual story and more about exploring the pages, turning them (or trying to eat them 😂) and discovering something new. That’s why these gorgeous books are perfect they’re from the @twohootsbooks mirror magic series by @sharonkingchai. They’re full of beautiful bright, shiny colours that really catch Nancy’s attention, and each one has a little mirror at the end, which is definitely her favourite part! 🪞✨ It’s funny how something so simple can become such a special part of our day. She might not remember these moments, but I know I will. 🤍 Do you read to your little ones before bed? 📚 {gifted product} #BabyBooks #BedtimeStories #BabyBedtimeRoutine #MotherhoodMoments #BabyActivities by @_amy.middleton$

$One of our favourite Halloween activities in Dorset is back! 🎃👻 We absolutely LOVE the Halloween experience at Moors Valley! It’s become one of our favourite things to do each October, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint! 🧡 We booked an earlier slot this time, arriving just as it was starting to get dark. The darker it gets, the spookier the experience becomes, so I’d recommend an earlier time if you’re visiting with little ones who might be a bit more nervous! 👻 The trail itself takes around an hour to complete and is so well put together, with spooky performers, amazing displays and plenty to see along the way. It’s also flat and pushchair-friendly, which is always a bonus for us! And it’s not just the trail! There’s a great selection of food and drink vendors too. We enjoyed burgers, hot dogs and pizzas, and you’ll also find a bar, churros and hot drinks to warm you up afterwards! 🍕🍔 🎟️ Tickets & info: 👻 Adults £19.50 🎃 Children £13 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family tickets are available to save a few pounds! ⏰ Allow around an hour for the trail, plus extra time for food and drinks. 💰 Is it worth the money? Personally, I think so! It’s such a brilliant unique experience and something we really look forward to every year. It’s definitely one of our Halloween traditions now, and we love it every time! 🧡 Save this for your October half-term plans and follow along for more family days out in Dorset! {ad-invite} #MoorsValley #HalloweenAtMoorsValley #DorsetDaysOut #halloweenindorset #daysoutwithkids by @_amy.middleton$
