SOC: April Madness and Fitness Routine

#SOCsunday
April has really been a busy month for me.  Tiger girl has been sleeping less during the day and is getting more and more demanding daily as she grows bigger. There has been very little time to carry out daily exercises on the Wii and she can’t wait to grab her shoes and leave the house  and go out shopping or for a walk. The workouts I get now are chasing after her and her brothers and carrying her around when we are out.

The kids routines and mine have changed a bit as we did away with the school bus for Doggie boy and I have been sending him to school and fetching him daily. I’ve better control of my time and am having more time in the morning to complete all the housework, grocery shopping and cooking of lunch. The bad thing is that we have been going out for tea time more often and spending more since Tiger girl refuses to stay home as she knows I have access to the car.

I’m also having much lesser time to myself online which has been good and bad in a way. It takes longer for me to craft a blog post.  I got the window open for this post in the morning but only am able to sit down and write now in the late afternoon as the girl is taking a short nap.

The good thing is that I’ve managed to lose some weight and am currently down to 61kg as I’m eating less(Another 5 kg to ideal now). Not by choice but because Tiger girl is eating much more. She has an eye on my food and has been demanding that I share my lunch with her even after she has finished eating her  portion.  I guess that it’s good she is “helping” me control my portion.

Elly The Children’s Outfitters- Bellio Shoes and Elly Outfit Review

Package from Elly

 

Last week we received this lovely package from Elly. I requested to review their Red Monkey shoes as Tiger girl loves the brightly coloured shoes. I was pleasantly surprised when  Audrey  (one of the owners)  said they will be sending one of their dresses along with the shoes for Tiger girl to try out and would be delivering the items by courrier.

The open packages

The shoes and lovely lady bug printed matching dress that was in the packages.

My model- Tiger girl

shoe

Tiger girl was immediately dressed in the outfit and took around the neighbourhood to try out the shoes.

It fitted her like a glove and didn’t fall off even though she was climbing up and down the stairs and was even running in it.

The sole was really soft as they were made of Swedish organic leather which had been hand sewn. on stitching of the monkey face on the shoes were excellent as I could not spot any stay threads on the shoes which I have seen on other soft sole shoes which Tiger girl had before.

As you can see in the picture on the right,  Tiger girl can wriggle her feet easily in the shoe. The shape and design of the shoe gives her maximum comfort while wearing them.

 

The  floral ladybug dress was a bit long for her as it’s for girls age 2-3 yrs old. I requested for a 2T as most of the clothes she is wearing is about that size.  I love the fabric and the cutting of the dress. The sleeves hug her shoulders and do not fall off even when she runs around. The material doesn’t crumple easily even after washing it.
