The tween has always enjoyed having friends over and playing with the neighbours children, so the little one was delighted to find a little friend by way of our new neighbours grandson.

All of sudden she wanted to go out and play.

She wanted to ask him over to play at our house.

We would find his head popping up at the front kitchen window, knocking the glass and saying hello.

How can she have a friend calling for her? Isn't this about 10 years too early?? (I *may* be exaggerating slightly here).

However her little friend is adorable, has impeccable manners and she loves having a little friend to have new adventures with.

So she has been showing him the wonders of where we live .....

It cost me a whole loaf of bread while they fed the greedy chickens!!

But then it was his turn to show her something new. He is a few months older than her and clearly proud of the fact that he can ride a scooter with ease, so this has given her the determination to be brave and get her balance.

Sometimes you just need a little friend to give you a little confidence.

A big event happened a couple of weeks ago. The little one turned 3.

This was a big event in her life. She was a big girl. 

Being 3 meant she wasn't a baby anymore.

Being 3 meant she would be 4 next  (who knew).

Being 3 means that she is growing up.

Growing up has featured quite heavily in conversations with her since her birthday but I am not entirely sure she has quite grasped the concept.

Her favourite saying is "Mummy, when I grow up to be my sister, will I .......... " *insert go to her school / swimming lessons / sleep in her bed*

Alternatively we have had "Mummy, when I grow up to be Nanny, where will Grandad be?".

But then just to throw me a curve ball, she will suddenly say "Mummy, when I grow back into a baby, will I have a pushchair?"

I think being 3 is going to provide us some great #funee moments but as far as I am concerned, I don't want her to grow up into anything! Can I freeze time right now?

Have your family created any #funee moments this week? We would love you to share, just add them to the linky below .....

When I was pregnant with the little one, I didn't 'want to find out whether it was a boy or girl, so plumped for a very classic cream look for her bedroom. Now 3 years later, the sides are off the cot and her favourite colour is pink. Cream is just not cutting it any longer.

So with a little help from Vertbaudet, we added a little bit of pink magic and sparkle to this neutral space ......

First we added a pink heart rug. As the youngest member of the family, she has the smallest room so at 100 x 133cm it fills a large proportion of the floor (which saves me getting a new pink carpet) and it is so soft, the little one keeps flexing her toes over it! 

We then chose a gorgeous butterfly hanging lampshade which casts a beautiful soft pink glow across her bedroom. A couple of people have aked me if there should be a frosted base on the bottom of the lampshade but there isn't and I prefer it that way (and it would be just somewhere that dust can gather). At 25 cm with a base diameter of 50 cm, it is almost oversized but with the cut-out butterfly motifs let the light through, it lights the bedroom softly and warmly. (It is also available in white, if you really don't fancy pink).

So with the addition of some new bedding, the room definitely begins to feel a like more like a girls room, rather than a nursery. I know it seems sterotypical to choose pink but this was her colour of choice and it just goes to show that with a few key items, you really can change the look of a room.

As a huge fan of Vertbaudet, I had purchased some butterflies from their website a little while ago and so we added these to the walls to create a bedroom that she can now "flutterbye" the hours in.

So what do you think? Would you add anuthing more? I just have my eye on this beautiful butterfly mirror!

Disclaimer : We were given the rug and lampshade as part of this review but as a regular customer of Vertbaudet, I would highly recommend their clothes and homewares for children.
