Aloha Sprinklerinos,
The more I look at Baby Glitter, the more I can see that soon she won't be her name. She will soon grow out of babyhood and be firmly placed in a new chapter of her life, toddlerhood. She is developing a sense of self, recognising behaviour and growing into a beautiful little girl.
Whilst there'll be a heartfelt pang when she is no longer a 'baby', I'm feeling so excited for the future and what this brings for my relationship with her, and thought I would share some of my hopeful highlights.
Mummy - Daughter Dreams
Sharing a slice of cake together at the lovely garden centre near our house and chatting.
Her being really pleased with how I did her hair that day.
Allowing her to paint my nails in a rainbow of colours.
Getting dressed up together for family parties.
Blowing up balloons for her birthday.
Seeing her face on Christmas mornings.
Taking her to meet Santa.
Explaining about the magic of the Tooth Fairy.
Reading books under thick blankets as the rain pounds on the window.
Lighting candles and torches in power cuts and telling stories.
Building dens with pegs and sheets.
Making crafty art for when Daddy comes home.
Decorating cakes with sweets and icing.
Delivering holiday treats to neighbours.
Singing our favourite songs in the car.
Writing letters in pink felt tips.
Drinking hot chocolate from matching mugs.
What do you look forward to doing with your children?
Toodlepip!
xx

She is so cute! :) Great post. Greetings from Poland :D
ReplyDeleteI look forward to dressing up, french plaiting her hair, pampering ourselves with face masks and mugs of hot chocolate and telling secrets...
ReplyDeleteMy bf's daughter is 6 and she is almost like mine - well on weekends. We paint our nails together, play games, talk about everything - both important and just plain silly, bake cakes, make masses of decorations for christmas/halloween... I just love spending time with her.
This is such a lovely post xx
Aww, this post made me tear up a little bit! hehe So sweet, Louise! Baby glitter is beautiful and even though I'm not a 'mummy' I know this 'next chapter' is going to be special too. I wish you both in this new chapter in your life will be full of joy and surprises. xx
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful!!! X
ReplyDeleteIf I ever have a child I hope to be as good as you
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteAww such a lovely post Louise! Baby Glitter has the most beautiful eyes <3 I remember doing a lot of those kind of things with my mum and I can't wait to do them with my own child xo
ReplyDeletehttp://iamncxo.blogspot.co.uk
My mum passed away last night so this has really made me well up. I am 18 and too young too loose her and will never have the chance to experience so many things with her, she won't be there when I get married or have a baby.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing mum and Darcie is extremely lucky to be able to share this relationship with you.
love Ellie

Darcy will always be your baby, no matter how old she is. She's a beautiful little girl. And your hopes for the future are lovely. I wish I was able to have done that sort of thing with my mum :) you're an amazing mother xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little girl! As a nanny I have really enjoyed doing some of those things you mentioned as she has grown up! My favourite thing it getting 'baby-cino's' and banana bread at a local cafe, especially on a rainy day!
ReplyDeletewww.buddingandflourishing.blogspot.com
Cutest post yet! And to keep your hopes alive and thriving, those things will happen I've done most everything on that list with my mom and I love my mom every minute of the day for all of the memories we have shared.

"Little Glitter" sounds sooo cute! :D x

This actually made me a little teary. I just turned 37 and my "baby girls" are almost 18 and 19 now. I miss all of the things on your list. Enjoy them while you can. The things I now look forward to with my daughters are shopping together, them helping me keep my style youthful (hehe), going out for lunch, watching them fall in love, seeing them blossom as they take on the world. Hope the joys of parenthood never end! X
ReplyDeleteLouise, because your religion and 'church going' is apart of your life, could you maybe do a post on how you plan on or how you are all ready incorporating it into Darcy's life? xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have children yet but I think I would love to read books with him/her while it's rainging out, Lovely post!! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://perlaxmakeup.blogspot.com/
This made me cry a little Louise and I'm nowhere near ready to have a baby. Such a special bond you two have xxxx

ReplyDeleteI am excited about taking my little boy to his diet football game (or any other sport/activity he wishes to take part in)
Teaching him to swim and ride a bike :)
Baking out first cake together!
Hearing him say "mummy, I love you"
He's 13month old so a little younger than baby glitter :)
Having a child is the most amazing, most special, rewarding part of life, everyone that gets to have a beautiful baby is blessed in so many ways <3 xxxx
She's such an adorable little girl, I absolutely love this post! Not even close to getting children myself, but I love reading these sweet little mummy stories of yours!

ReplyDeletesuch a lovely post :) u have a true little star there :)
ReplyDeletexjoedix.blogspot.co.uk
Louise you are such a wonderful mother. Posts like this always make me want to be a mummy and I'm only 18. Hhaahah! It's great how you inspire all of your readers to try harder and be better. I'm sure Darcy will grow up in a strong and beautiful woman. And of course she'll have a big box of amazing memories with her family. :)x
ReplyDeleteMy little boy is 4 now, and is now old enough to appreciate and ask for a 'movie night' together. With lots of popcorn, hot chocolate, and searching for a film to watch together. This weekend we did Hocus Pocus - he still finds it a little hard to concentrate on a whole unanimated film but he's getting there :-) I also love bringing him out for lunche if we happen to go shopping at the weekends, and he loves baby cappucinos and cupcakes and ham sandwiches. He's also recently started to make his own bed as a surprise for me in the mornings while I get ready for work, and comes and tells his daddy and I how much he loves us every day because he is so used to hearing it from us. It just gets better and better Louise, so just enjoy every moment and don't mourn the passing of each milestone, as there are many more wonderful ones to come afterward xxx
ReplyDeleteAwwww this is such a cute little post Louise :)
ReplyDeleteI've been reading every post & watching every video of her since she was born, shes certainly going to be a wee head turner :) hehe
i'm actually glad you have put the other videos of her back on youtube as i think its a really good way for her to see what she was like when she was born & making her remember memories :)
xxx
she is beyond cute!
ReplyDeleteAww, a really nice post, you seem to make such a lovely mum! x
ReplyDeletethis actually made me cry quite alot!! My daughter is 9 weeks and i have been struggling with some baby blues and not feeling like a very good mum but reading this has made me smile so much. thank you xx
ReplyDeleteaww these are such lovely dreams :).. with a mummy like you, im sure you and Darcy will enjoy all those special things :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such beautiful post! Darcy is such a lucky little girl to have you as her mum, she will be so proud of you when she realises what you do with your blog and YouTube and how inspirational you are to so many people, me included. Can't wait for your next post ♥ xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is just absolutely adorable. I don't even know what else to say - such a lovely thing to have sat down and taken the time to write.

My daughter is turning three in November, it really is amazing how fast the time flies. We are now at the stage of doing some of the things that are on your list and I promise you, that they will be the most amazing moments of your life. My daughter loves to have her hair played with and put into different styles and the look on her face when she likes it, is just precious. I couldn't imagine my life without her and it is nice to see another Mother that enjoys the little things <3 x
ReplyDeletebigclosetsmallpurse.com
This post is so cute, it makes me think of how I would love to make my own little family when i'm older. You always seem to point out littler things in life and that you don't need lots of expensive days out, to enjoy spending time with your children and that's what I love about you! P.S - Another "Mummy Dream" could be putting a mince pie and a glass of milk out for Santa <3 xx
ReplyDeleteAwww Louise, I don't even have a child and this post totally pulled at my heartstrings. So sweet! I hope to create something like this for my future children.
ReplyDeleteTake care and hugs from Canada xo
awww that is such a cute post! You had me almost in tears!! Baby Glitter is so lucky to have you as a mum! :D i love you!xx

ReplyDeleteAwww such a cute post. Darcy is so adorable. xxx
ReplyDeletejustjess59.blogspot.co.uk
I was just thinking what would this post look like if you had a little Baby Boy instead of Baby Glitter.. you are so blessed that you can share this with Darcy.. have you ever thought of having another baby (I know that you don't want to:)) so that you can do this once again with another new person that you created..?:)
ReplyDeletelove Anna xxx
Wow! It's definitely true when they say how quickly babies/toddlers grow and develop! I've missed seeing Darcy on your blog and in your youtube vids and what a difference! You can definitely tell she's blossoming into a toddler! It's not been long since you stopped having her in your videos and she looks so different! She's so beautiful Louise you are one very lucky mummy! Loved reading your dreams for yourself and her they are adorable x
ReplyDeleteOh my god, this is the cutest blog post I have ever read. EVER. That first one is so sweet :') Oh how I love little Darcy's return. She is getting so big and clever. You really are the most amazing mum ever!<3

a little lady - with a baby
Such a beautiful post. I like the way you are looking forward rather than focusing on the babyhood days being gone soon. Baby time is such a great age but there is so much more wonderful times to come, enjoy and remember.
ReplyDeleteMummy S of littleguysmummy blog
Aaww this is one of the sweetest things I've ever read, I hope you enjoy every one of those moments when they happen xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Darcy is going to grow up being a wonderful little lady with a mum as loving as you are. :) I'm definitely a few years off from even thinking about kids, but I think I really want a little girl to play dress ups with, help her learn French and a musical instrument, introduce her to music and just generally be one of her best friends. :)
ReplyDeletehttp://vintagemachine.blogspot.com
This is the most beautiful blog post I have ever read!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was so adorable!! I got a bit teary eyed, I'll admit! I can't wait until I'm older and have children so I can do these very things with them!! Thanks for such a great post!

Beautiful post! Darcy is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI love this its just so beautiful made me a little teary eyed as i remembered moments with my mum growing up those speacial times will be with me forever. you should put a scrap book together of every year that darcy grows up and you can have it as a keep sake
ReplyDeleteoh she's so cute,can't wait to hear more about her xx

That´s adorable!!! I hope that when i`m older i will have a beautiful littel girl like darcy <3 And i hope we will have all kinds of fun together...
ReplyDeleteby the way the picture is so cute. did you do it yourself?
This post is so sweet! Makes me excited for my future children!
ReplyDeletedaniellerace.blogspot.com
A great idea to help make christmas morning even more exciting is to get some boots, as in male boots, then in the room with the christmas tree put the boots on the floor and put talcum powder around them so that it looks like snow and make it look as if santa has walked through the room to the christmas tree, Then just add a few twigs with leaves on from the garden so it looks like he had a bit of a struggle and bravo! This honestly made me so excited when i was little!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely beautiful! You're so lucky to have such a gorgeous little girl :):)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you and your little family, you always seem so happy in your videos and instagrams etc!
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and loooooooove them!! This may sound really silly but watching you and other youtubers videos has such a big impact on my life! I have an anxiety disorder and a couple of other issues in my life at the moment and sometimes it can get very, very hard. I've found over the last few years that the main distraction and escape from this is watching yours and others videos and reading your blogs. Theres just something about being able to pop onto youtube and just see familiar faces,(if you get what i mean?) its werid but its like a little separate world you can escape to where everyone’s happy and talks about makeup :):) I must be coming across like a complete weirdo, but i'm not I promise , I basically just wanted to say thank you so much for doing what you do, it really helps me and makes me happy! thank you again! Cant wait for more posts and vids :)

Also, she'll read your blog from years and years ago, and you'll see her be so proud of all you've done :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post, it got me wondering if my Mum ever thought about these things when I was little xx
