Much as it will be lovely to have ‘one of each’ (well, this is what people say when I find out we’re having a boy, anyway!) I am glad we found out the flavour of baby this time round to help us prepare a little better! I don’t dress Athena in all girly and pink clothes anyway, so quite a…
I am so excited to announce that TotsBots are very kindly providing us with everything we need to go from birth to potty in reusable nappies for baby boy, in the hopes that we will be 100% cloth converts, 24/7! I poo-poo’d (ha, get it?) the idea of cloth when I borrowed a couple of cloth nappies from a friend when Athena…
Whoops, time ran away from me it seems, as this was meant to be an 18 month update but is now a 19 months one. The last update I wrote was at 13 months back in July, as I see monthly updates as a bit repetitive and probably not interesting in the slightest for the vast majority of people! That…
Monday – Finally back in our own King Sized bed after spending the week in a comfy but small double bed at the Mother in Laws, which is no mean feat when your husband is 6’6 tall and I have a baby bump to contend with! We’d got back late the night before so I mostly spent the day unpacking, washing and sorting things…
In 2014 I set myself a challenge to read 50 books, and kept track of my progress on Goodreads. I’m fairly chuffed with myself because I actually exceeded it by 3, finishing 53 books. Above are some of the books I read throughout the year, and if you want to add me as a friend on there just click the…
I actually feel pregnant again now, after spending most of the 2nd trimester forgetting that I was! I seem to have got off pretty lightly with symptoms in the middle, but over the last few weeks they’re either arriving or getting worse! My last update was at 24 weeks, so hopefully a month is long enough that i’m not…
I will breastfeeding baby boy when he arrives, I’m teaming up with Medela, the worlds leading producer of breast pumps and accessories and I and plan to document my journey for prosperity and in the hopes that my experience will help someone else. I do want to point out though that although I believe that everyone should try (and then try a…
Thanks to Soul II Soul for the title of this post (please tell me a few of you are old enough to remember the song? admittedly I don’t remember it being released as I was 5 then but hey…) So today I went back to work after two weeks off, and Athena was back at nursery too which was a…
Happy New Year! I’m currently sat writing this in a reclining chair (comfy) full of a cold that suddenly appeared this afternoon (not so comfy) and trying to remember what we’ve been up to this week! Here goes… Monday was our first day in Norfolk, having arrived the night before to visit Sams mum in her new house.…
Well, here’s a filler post if ever there was one! BUT before you click the X it’s a fun one, it’s just that I am currently staying with family and enjoying spending time with Sam and Athena uninterrupted, so the blog is taking a back seat until we are home from our travels and everything is back to normal (whatever…
Ooohh… last ‘Stuff on a Sunday’ post of the year! I left off last Sunday heading to a carol service with Sam & Athena which was lovely but a bit different from last year where Athena slept all the way through! The carols were also a bit naff, I didn’t recognise a couple of them at all, and the dude…
Happy Christmas everyone, like most I’ll be taking a little blogging break and will be back soon ish. Don’t forget I have a linky running for you to link up any ‘review of the year’ type posts, you can find the post here, and I will visit and share all the posts that are linked on twitter too. For now,…
