There is nothing I love more than scrolling back through all my photos. It’s fair to say I take a LOT (we are talking thousands) so sometimes I really can get lost down the rabbit hole of looking back through photos on my phone once the babies have gone to bed – yes, I am
When it comes to choosing your babies car seat, safety is always the most important factor. Even as a second time Mum, the moment we were discharged from hospital with Pearl felt like the most daunting challenge in the world to keep such a tiny human safe! Like most parents, the first thing we did
When I had Violet, I literally had NO IDEA what we would realistically need in our hospital bags. I just followed a couple of online guides and hoped for the best. It turned out we were in hospital quite a lot longer than I packed for so V had to run home to get spare
Now Violet is a little bit older at nearly EIGHTEEN MONTHS (?) it’s been amazing to finally upgrade our travel system to a lightweight stroller. No more loading multiple parts of a heavy pram into the boot of the car, this is one of the lightest, easiest strollers I’ve ever used! Being heavily pregnant it
Just recently I’ve noticed a difference in the way that Violet plays with her toys. As she is 18 months now, she’s started to understand exactly how to play with each toy and what it does, rather than just being attracted to pretty shapes, colours or textures. With the new baby on the horizon this
If I could say which element of parenting I find the most stressful, I’d say anything to do with eating, for sure. Give me a full on toddler temper tantrum to deal with over a spilt bowl of macaroni cheese any day. Violet hasn’t been the easiest baby to wean – I think the combination
We all know that when someone you know is expecting a baby, they’ll be showered in gifts. I mean, who doesn’t love buying cute baby clothes and products – When I’m choosing a gift I always try to chose something that will stand out but will be practical and actually get used! Getting that balance
Last weekend I had a full day out in London – baby free! Think this was my first Saturday away from Violet in the time since she has been born, which is over 15 months now! Maybe it’s the panic that getting out and about with two will be so much harder, but I’ve been
With only SEVEN weeks to go until Baby Peaches #2’s arrival, it’s been all systems go when it comes to planning our new babies nursery! This has been twice as tricky as with the house move as the poor little bubs room has been full of boxes since we moved in April (everyone has a
This post is written in partnership with wilko One of my favourite spaces of our new house has got to be the garden. We have just been loving having so much extra space, sunshine and fresh air, right on our doorstep! The only slight snag is that I have no idea what I’m doing when
There is one thing I love in life and thats MEXICAN FOOD! I loved it before I was pregnant, but right now the mix of spice, sour cream and cheese just seems to tick all my pregnancy craving boxes too, making it my ideal meal out. So, on a sunny Spring day, V, Violet and
You may have noticed I’ve gone a little cleaning mad over on the blog just recently! I think a house move with a baby on the way is a surefire way to get the urge to nest, big time! A task I’ve been wanting to do for a long time (but always put off!) is
