May’s Adventures 2016

May 31, 2016 by Emma Edwards Leave a Comment

I appeared to have blinked and May disappeared. It is no wonder though with the amazing events that the month brought. We started off by celebrating Adams 4th birthday at Drayton Manor and Think Tank Museum.

The next weekend I celebrated my birthday whilst reviewing a holiday cottage in Cromer.

During the month I was invited to attend the grand opening of Number 4 Privet Drive at the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour. We were one of the first people to see inside the Dursleys house at the red carpet event.

May is always Hyperemesis Gravidarium International Awareness Day and I attended the annual HG conference as my role as trustee of the Pregnancy Sickness Support charity.

That is not all! In May I found myself in Birmingham for the Tots100 Blog Camp. I had a 4am start and didn’t get home till 11pm. I certainly felt the effects the next day! It was worth it to spend the day with blogging friends and learn new tips.

During May we also welcomed a new member to our family – Tony the Musk Turtle.

Finally we finished the month with Adams 4th birthday party.

Although we were fairly quite on the blog, not surprising with all our adventures, we did write several guest posts. Check out our No Mess Painting Bright Stanley Canvas over on Rainy Day Mum.

Welcome!

Emma and Adam

During a difficult pregnancy suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Emma vowed to make every day an adventure once she had recovered. Adventures of Adam is the outcome of completing a 100 day play challenge with Adam as part of that promise. Emma has a section dedicated to HG friendly play activities so that Mums can still be part of their children’s play whilst they are ill.
