Emotional Day

Poor Emilia was feeling very ill this morning and even threw up her water before she had even eaten any breakfast. She spent almost the whole day cuddled up like this on the sofa, watching Disney movies and cartoons. I felt so sorry for her! At about 4 o'clock she finally perked up and said she was hungry so I gave her some toast which she devoured straight away & asked for more with honey! Thankfully she seems to be okay now and even ate her dinner with no complaints about her tummy. Unfortunately Jonathan is suffering from man flu so he also spent the day under a duvet! Which meant that I spent most of my time traipsing up & down the stairs with cups of Lemsip and/or sick buckets...ha ha ha!

Lucky for Eduardo, he had an absolute dream day hanging out one on one with Mummy! I think he loved it but at the same time I'm pretty sure he missed his sister & daddy. He also does the sweetest thing every morning...he came running into me while I was working at the kitchen table asking me for "ip-sick" so I grabbed Emilia's wooden toy lipstick from her box and gave it to him. He made a face at it and said "No! Mummy ip-sick!" and then insisted on dragging me all the way into the hall where my handbag was to retrieve my own (Estee Lauder mind you, this boy has expensive taste!) lipstick. He then puckered his lips waiting for me to apply it. How is it possible that a little boy could be so adorable?! So we both applied our lipstick and then made kissy faces together...whilst clutching a pink hairbrush. Ha ha ha, sorry Jonathan!!

Onto the emotional part of this blog post, so apologies in advance for any mushiness that you read from here onwards! 

As I've already mentioned my jewellery line doesn't launch until next Monday but we are offering free worldwide shipping to all of you guys if you register on the website www.Stilnest.com/AnnaSaccone before launch date! (It's free to register, you just need an email address!) I am so excited to share all of the designs with you! My mum sent me this picture of my dad wearing the Scorpio necklace which this whole jewellery line was inspired by. The picture is really old, as he didn't wear it anymore by the time they were together so this was taken before they knew each other. I took a few selfies today of me wearing the necklace and was going through the motions of "left, right, straight ahead" posing and then just as I was about to post I remembered my dad's picture and put them side by side. I didn't even intentionally mean for us to look at each other but it was as if the photos just clicked and suddenly it looked like they were always meant to be. As soon as I saw the photos together I burst into tears and continued to bawl my eyes out for a good half hour afterwards (though it is also my time of the month so that probably had something to do with it!). I'm fine now and was eventually able to stop crying so I have recovered from my emotional breakdown...ha ha ha! Thank you to all of you for your huge support about my jewellery, it has been overwhelmingly positive and I am just so grateful to you guys! <3
