Our year 2014
Looking back at 2014, it has been a fantastic year that has brought many unforeseen experiences, opportunities and amazing times! It has been my first proper year in blogging and I have loved every minute of it with all the new opportunities and wonderful things it has brought to us as a whole family.
The highlights of 2014…..
January
The children climbed a tree for the first time whilst on some lovely winter walks and we enjoyed our screen free day together.
February
We had great fun playing musical letters, doing some kite flying and having some fantastic messy fun making an indoor snowman. 
March
This month saw my big boy starting Beavers for the first time. It was Pinky and Boos 4th birthday and BB’s 6th birthday. We loved painting spring flowers, which ultimately won us a holiday to Centre Parcs!
April
We made some lovely easter cake pops together, had a lovely short break in the New Forest with Nana and Grandad and planted our garden with garden on a roll.
May
We had a wonderful day out to a local farm lambing day. We enjoyed some bug and scavenger hunts, making fairy soup and crafting with flower pots here and here. 
June
This was probably one of my favourite months as it saw us going on a most amazing short break to Centre Parcs as their ambassador. We had the best holiday, with so many new amazing experiences together and created the best memories. BB also went on his first Beaver camp in a Teepee and loved it!
July
The children decorated their own den and we had a lovely weekend at my parents summer fete. Boo had her first bike ride on two wheels. We also had a wonderful time at the seaside with Nana and Grandad. 
August
We had a fantastic holiday to Coombe mill, where Pinky developed a love for rabbits and the children gained huge confidence with animals. We made some amazing beach pictures with the shells we collected there on our return home. The children also had their first day out to London where we had a lovely day despite the rain!
September
My babies started school and loved it, while I stayed home alone for the first time. We went to a fun Alice in wonderland party and had a fantastic day out to The Lookout for Daddy’s birthday.
October
We had a lot of fun making soap monsters, lots of conker and leaf crafting, doing some fab science experiments and had a lovely short break in The New Forest again. We also had a fantastic time having a fireworks party.
November
This month we enjoyed a lot of crafting with pinecones and christmas flower pots. We also had a really lovely time in the woods.
December
We have done lots of christmas crafts, had the most amazing day out to Legoland Windsor christmas event and the children have all taken part in their school christmas plays. 
There you have it, our year in photos, with too many highlights! I can’t believe how wonderful this year has been and it’s magical looking back at all the lovely photos and memories we have made together. I never want to forget!

What an amazing looking year! It is great to be able to stop and look back, as you realise how fab it has been, and you’ve so many great memories and photos there to treasure x
Thank you, it has been a wonderful year full of happy memories and great experiences, look forward to what 2015 will bring
Sounds like you’ve had a fabulous year. I’m intrigued with your garden on a roll. I have a new border to plant too and had been looking at the ready made designs, how well did it grow after planting?
Our Garden on a roll worked brilliantly, it was so easy to plant, so we didn’t have to think about it as we have no idea about plants and it has grown really well. We now need to cut it back in the spring. It is not cheap, but was worth it for us.
What an absolutely beautiful post and such a great way to remember the happy times spent over the year! It looks like you had a blast, all the best for 2015

Loving the indoor snowmen. They have grown a lot this year haven’t they?
They definitely have, it’s only looking back like this you realise it.
Looks like a wonderful year with so much lovely outdoor fun too. I’m loving all the photos from August here on the farm, I was hoping we would make it into your highlights. Hope you’ll add to Country Kids too. Happy New Year to you all and I hope you keep up all the fun in the coming year.
