When Fun Teepee got in touch with me about working together on a blog post I jumped at the chance. I love teepee tents, the whole concept has a magical vibe to it that’s unbeatable. We have always had one in the house and the kids love it. Georgie got his first one when he was two and a half, he still likes lounging around in it. Recently we decided to upgrade to this beautiful one that the younger kids really enjoy too. So I knew that bringing five teepees into our living room for a pyjama/sleepover party would be a brilliant idea. I was right. Georgie’s 8th birthday party was a huge success. Both magical and functional, every one including the adults thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Last year was the first time I prepared goodie bags for Georgie’s little friends. Inside the boys’ bags I placed a rolled up Superman poster tied with a balloon. The girls got a mermaid poster. Both were hand drawn and gorgeous and I’m told they looked amazing on the kids’ bedroom walls.
I get a bit emotional at his birthdays, when he blows out the candles and I realise how bloody quickly time goes by. I hugged him tight on the morning of his birthday and whispered the words ‘my baby’ to which he replied: ‘No mama. I am now 5 years old so I am not a baby anymore.’ I made it abundantly clear that no matter how old he is he will always be MY baby. If you follow me on Instagram you can catch me singing happy birthday to Georgie as he was waking up with a smile on his face.
