The Proposal

Every time I think about my engagement, I get so excited!

 Let's set the scene.

 Me, OJ, my parents and sister had taken a holiday to Benidorm for the Christmas and New Year period. I was 7 months pregnant and we thought we would take one last holiday before May-May made an appearance.

 On our second day there we took a walk to the beach front and sat down. We chilled on the beach, everyone with beers, me with orange juice (how fun) and had a laugh. This was OJ's first time abroad so we were in a very excitable mood. But that day he seemed a bit anxious, however I didn't take much notice. He had been doing some research and he wanted to go to the lovely courtyard that looked over the sea and was very eager to go there. Hmmm!

The view from the courtyard 😍


 After 2 hours at the beach, we walked along the beach front, taking in the sights and atmosphere. We made our way up the courtyard and my dad started to tell OJ about our previous holidays. I took a few pictures and then sat down. Pregnancy and all that walking had tired me out! All the others had gone down a few stairs to look further over the cliff whilst I stayed at the top.

 Little did I know they were planning how OJ was going to propose! 

 They all came back up and my dad, mum and sister said they were going to the bathroom as OJ wanted to talk to me. This seemed serious. They all left and OJ started say how much he loved me and how happy he was we were on holiday. I didn't think anything of it, just thought he was having a romantic moment. 

 Next thing I knew, he was down on one knee, with the ring box open and a beautiful ring shining at me. And he'd asked me to marry him! Well naturally I cried! And I was asking if he was being serious. I was admiring the ring so much I forgot to say yes 😂 Poor OJ was so nervous, so I put him out of his misery and the few people watching congratulated us. 
The beautiful ring. He has good taste! 😍
Where the proposal happened ❤️






We started to walk back to the beach front and my mum, dad and sister were stood there smiling and trying to act like they didn't know anything (I later found out they all knew since November!). I cried tears of joy again before heading to a local bar for non alcoholic cocktails. 

Throughout the rest of the holiday, I  was on cloud 9. One of the local acts out there found out we had got engaged and whenever we saw him perform, he would announce it in the venue he was performing in. We were like mini celebs! (ha I can dream)

That was 7 months ago and I wish I could experience that day again. It was a real surprise and such a wonderful moment. Now we have the fun - and stressful - task of planning our wedding.

I can't wait to become Mrs S!

Remember: You Are A Couple As Well As Parents

At the beginning of October, James and I had a weekend away in Manchester to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. It was so lovely to have some quality time together. We shopped, went out to eat and even played Junkyard Golf! If you have never been, I highly recommend you do as it's a great laugh. And it was whilst we was away that I realised the last time me and James had spent a night away together was 18 months ago when Mayarna was 1 month old. That's a very long time and it got me thinking, when you become parents, you become so wrapped up in parenthood that you start to neglect time as a couple. Yes, your responsibilities change. But that doesn't mean you can't keep the spark going in your relationship. You don't have to do anything expensive or fancy. Something as simple as going out for a meal, going to the cinema or going for a drink. Just being with your partner, having adult conversation and keeping that spark is great for your relationship. -

New Home, New Life

Moving home is never easy and especially when you have a 4 month old baby in tow. After spending the last few weeks looking for our new home,we were split between the final two. We eventually decided on the house we liked. We made an application to the estate agents and when we were approved, I felt ecstatic! The day came for the move and I had butterflies in my stomach and questions rolling in my head such as “will may may settle here?” “is it going to be too far to get to work? “ But I knew that this was for the best. Me, mics and her parents started packing. On the day, the removal men called us while we was at the estate agents, saying they were outside the house. They were two hours early! So we made our way to the house and quickly helped to finish the last of the packing and stored it into the back of the van. When we got to the house it was a great feeling to unpack our stuff into our new home. It is so refreshing to know now that May-May has more space to play and a

New Year, New Mum

MummyBou is back! Happy New Year everyone! Surely it's time to stop saying that now right? It's been a while since I blogged but I had to take a break, not only from my blog but from my social media too. Sometimes we have to take a break, refresh, re-evaluate our situations and come back stronger. See where changes can be made, what you need to stop doing and what you can do to improve your situation. That's what I did. I went on holiday with my family and had a well deserved 10 day break. When I got back, I sat down with OJ and brainstormed about our future; business and personal. We celebrated our first Christmas as a family and wedding plans are in full effect. May-May's development has been beautiful to watch. She hates sand, has 2 teeth and loves to dance. But I will explain all this in upcoming blogs. I will be blogging every 2 weeks, so ensure to keep an eye out on my Instagram and Facebook . -x- Michaela -x-
