Although we will eventually get a buggy that will hold both children at some point (when we have decided which one we want, and we’re running out of time!) I am really hoping to do a lot more babywearing earlier with this new arrival. That way I can take Athena out with our normal single pushchair and not have too…
So the days are getting lighter and Spring is practically upon us. What better excuse do you need to offload the kids onto a doting grandparent, or willing babysitter for some nice one to one time with your partner? Obviously my ideas depend on how young your children are and what your budget is but I’ve composed a list of things…
Those who know me personally will probably know that I am not generally one for ‘self help’ or advice style books, being a fairly stubborn and headstrong person I tend to think I know best, or at least try and work things out for myself first. However I was given the opportunity to read ‘Kids don’t come with a Manual…
Please tell me I’m not the only one who flings things into bags willy-nilly and then can’t find them again? I was getting so fed up rooting around in the bottom of my handbag or changing bag to find what I needed that I decided to be a little more organised and keep things in separate little bags, and this…
This months theme is ‘Nest’ which is something I have been doing lots of, as you may have noticed from previous blog posts! I am definitely (almost!) ready for this baby, and have been clearing and cleaning out our home like a woman possessed! I need to buy shares in a bin-bag company I think! The 2 most obvious tools…
This week was sponsored by the words tired and stressful. My first full week of Maternity leave went like this: Sunday seems like so long ago that I genuinely don’t remember what I did (which seems to be a running pattern, as I swear I wrote something similar last week!) but I think perhaps that was the day my friend…
The moment I walk in the door these days I get out of my clothes and bra and into PJs, being this pregnant means that even though I’m wearing maternity clothes I’m just comfortable! Waistbands dig into the bump, or if they’re under the bump they put pressure on my bladder! Bra straps are like torture devices and I’m too…
A couple of weeks ago you may have seen me post this video on instagram showcasing four new prints from Bambino Mio (I’ve popped it at the end of this post too!) The four new nappy prints are awesome! I think my favourite is Circus Time though even the little popcorn containers have ‘BM’ on them! The all in one…
I meant to write a post like this at the start of the year, but then things got in the way and suddenly we’ve just started the third month of the year! Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed thinking about the future, how will I cope with two babies under 2 years old. How will we cope financially without met…
In preparation for our new arrival I was very kindly sent a Fisher Price Sooth and Glow Owl, and just in case Athena felt left out she got one too! As ‘new baby’ isn’t here yet his Owl is still safely tucked up in his box, but Athena has been making friends with hers already! The Owl is the perfect…
In February I… Read: Where Things Come Back, which is very good. I also read Pretty Honest, which really wasn’t that good, very few make up hints or tips that I’d not heard of and I didn’t really like the style it was written in either. I wanted to read more but I’ve just been too zonked, you can befriend…
This week was sponsored by the words ‘rain’ & ‘snot’. Sunday was spent feeling sorry for myself because I was still feeling like crap after coming down with the lurgy on Friday, I don’t think we actually left the house! In the morning we built a new square shelving unit thing from Ikea (annoyingly one of the bits had a hole…
