So last week I announced that I was off to BritMums Live! thanks to my lovely sponsors Cheeky Rascals, so this week I decided to join in with the linky and let people know a little about me and what I want to get out of the conference! Name: Lauren. I’ll also be bringing Arlo with me who will be…
One of the not as obvious reasons that having a new baby is ace is the fact that you’ll have muslins to hand at all times. Now everyone knows the more normal uses for them: burp cloth,mopping up baby sick, make-shift bibs and light blankets but there are plenty more uses! In the last five weeks this is what else…
Monday was quiet, a little trip out to the sandy seafront park to meet up with a friend and her little boy who we’d not since for a good few months! We had a nice cakey catch up when it got a but chilly then I headed home for a (thankfully) uneventful solo bedtime as Sam was on a late…
Last weekend we bathed the babies together for the first time. Arlo was three weeks old and hadn’t had a ‘proper’ bath in the tub and seeing as Athena was about to have a bath and he was happy and full of milk we decided to give it a go! So perhaps this was more than an ‘ordinary’ moment but…
… apart from when it is really sodding difficult! The first month with two under two went something like this… Week One: Glorious. Those new baby hazy days… snuggles, feeding, having a toddler who is excited by the new baby and a husband who is on paternity leave and who prepares two cooked meals a day for us. No baby-blues…
It’s hard to believe this little squodge is a month old! He’s certainly grown because he’s just started fitting into 0-3 month clothes as opposed to new born! He still seems like a tiny baby to me though, especially as the clothes are all baggy round the middle again! He got a cold (cheers nursery germs via Athena) when he…
In just under two weeks time I will be heading off to Bluestone Resort in Wales, with Sam and the babies (I will stop referring to Athena as a baby when she hits 2… maybe!) and our lovely good friends and their daughter too. I cannot WAIT! A few people have likened maternity leae to holiday, not these last few…
The Fisher Price 3-in-1 Projection Mobile has been lulling us all to sleep recently… well the three of us who sleep in the same bedroom anyway! The mobile is designed to grow with your baby from birth upwards, it’s a motorised mobile that has 3 audio modes, a light projector than can be removed and used on its own, plus…
House of Fraser are sponsoring this years Baftas, which take place on the 10th May and bring together the best on screen talent together to celebrate and award the creme de la creme! It’s like the British version of the Oscars and the theatre will be full to the brim with celebrities! Many who will be walking the red carpet will…
I love writing these weekly recap posts, and I’m already looking forward to reading them all at the end of the year! Last Saturday where I left off was pretty crap however Sunday was a new day and was pretty good as Sundays go! Sam was working but my lovely friend Emily (one of Athenas Godmothers) came over to spend…
Arlo arrived in March 31st, and Athena didn’t meet him until the next day, which was April 1st. This photo was taken within 10 minutes of them meeting, it was snapped on my phone but to me it is perfection… the complete acceptance from Athena of this tiny little being that for months she had been resting her head on…
In June I am heading off to the UK’s biggest blogging conference, BritMums Live. It’s the first time I’m going and I literally cannot wait! Even more excitingly I have teamed up with the amazing online retailer of everything baby Cheeky Rascals, who have kindly offered to sponsor me to attend! I’m hoping that I will be able to pick…
