Five Happy Things is back for February - It's nice to have a little look back though, isn't it? For me, so I can see what we were up to and I suppose sheer nosiness for others, we all do it!
The Day of Love
I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day, I love any excuse to celebrate something and this particular day is no exception. We usually pick up an M&S Dine In and then some little bits for the children to enjoy. This year I bought heart-shaped yumnuts, love bug lollies and a book for them each. I also received some oh-so-gorgeous flowers and my favourite chocolates.
Pancake Day
Another brilliant day is pancake day! I'm usually a crepe with lemon and sugar kinda gal but the children wanted big fluffy American pancakes so that's what we had this year with LOTS of Nutella!
A night away in the forest
Half-term was full of plans - a theatre visit, days out with grandparents and a night away in the New Forest. We stayed at Balmer Lawn with both the children and while sleep was minimal, we had a lovely time. We made use of the swimming pool, tried some delicious food and spotted horses!

Pastel nails for Spring
Is it too soon for pastel nails? I'm usually a neutral kinda gal but I spotted some nail inspo on Instagram and decided to go for it - cute right?
Foodie hotspots
February has been a very good foodie month - we had great food at Balmer's Lawn, I've had brunch at Mettricks, Bottomless Brunch at Porter's Wine & Charcuterie and then I ended the month in Portsmouth trying out Garage Lounge and Hideout Doughnuts which were AMAZING.
Here's to a great March!
