We're back from our holiday. It's always tough coming back from a holiday but it makes it easier that in seems that in a space of the week we were away Spring has well and truly sprung. Even though my bones are still cold getting used to the UK weather after having a weeks worth of African sun - the days are brighter, the sun is peeping through and today I noticed that our blossom tree has started to flower. That always puts a smile on my face.
In keeping up with the African theme on the blog I thought I would show you Baby Girl's very first custom made dress from Nigeria. This is a dress that my mother in law brought back from one of her trips about 6 months ago. At the time it was too big for her to wear but she is growing into it and I think she looks so adorable in it - my little African princess.
I love everything about African fashion. It's bright, the fabric is gorgeous, the prints are bold, many of the designs are structured - just as I love and everything screams STATEMENT! It's so different to my standard monochrome UK wardrobe and after visiting Nigeria it has inspired me to be a bit more adventurous with my outfit choices. I brought a couple of bits home for myself from our holiday so I'll be sure to share them with you soon.

It takes a while for me to settle back in after a holiday so for the last few days I feel like I've been super busy catching up on life. I also feel a bit of jet lag which is strange because it's only a 6 hour flight and there is no time difference, go figure! I've been busy planning some holiday blog posts which will go live over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled if your interested in our plane journey with Virgin Atlantic, what we ate in Nigeria, Lagos fashion and our family holiday in general.
I managed to keep up some blogging while we were away so If you haven't caught up, heres some of my recent posts:
A Peek Into My Home: Kitchen Tour
Fruity Pancake Bites Recipe, including a YouTube clip
Dealing With A Fussy Eater & 7 Toddler Meal Ideas
A Day With: Baby a Fi
Happy Sunday!
