Now the wellbeing of a very small human rests upon us, we need to do grown up things, like not spend all our money on remote control car parts (Sam) or on nail varnish (me) or cute (but expensive) clothes for the baby. Instead I have spent the last few weeks attempting to sort out a few ‘grown up’…
Last week Sam and I headed out for dinner leaving the baby in the capable hands of my mother. Everyone was happy and in one piece when we arrived home, so she’ll be having her again more often! I wore a dress I bought in the early stages of my pregnancy and have hardly worn since, but I…
last autumn… I saw Charli post this tag last weekend, and thought I’d join in… For Autumn, what is your… 1. Favourite thing about it? Leaves on the ground and the smell of bonfires. Also jumpers, lots of them! I much love a crisp day over a muggy one. Also our first wedding anniversary is this Autumn! 2. Favourite drink? …
A month ago I went to the wedding of one of my close friends in a gorgeous country hotel in the Cotswolds. It was stressful because I wasn’t sure how Athena would be, as it was the day after her first jabs (she was an angel and I needn’t have worried) and I didn’t know what to wear that I…
I keep expecting my hair to fall out, which may seem like a bit of an odd statement, but post-baby many women lose the hair that didn’t fall out during pregnancy. Plus I had my hair highlighted a couple of weeks before I had Athena, and since I’ve had her I’ve not really look after it very well, nor…
One of the main challenges for me at first after Athena arrived was coming to realise that my life runs on baby time rather than regular punctual Lauren time, although from week three onwards that got a lot easier as I learnt to know how long a feed takes on average and to get everything I need ready…
Today my precious baby is three months old! Time has literally FLOWN, it feels like only a few weeks ago that we brought her home from the hospital and sat staring at her. She’s grown loads, and is bang on all her height/weight lines (50 for weight and 91st for height) and last time we weighed her a few weeks…
MaxFactor False lase effect – £10.99 for 13ml or £8.39 per 10ml. A chunky rubbery rounded brush. Lancôme Hypnose Drama – £22 for 6.5ml, or £33.85 per 10ml. A curved brush with fine bristles. I am a dedicated hypnose drama user. It might be pricey but bloody hell does it produce thick black lashes! I once bought regular…
…didn’t really do anything of much excitement. This is a mixture of needing to recover from moving, continuing to sort the house out and unpack, and not having a whole load of money as maternity pay is a bit naff! I guess the highlights were going to my friend Elisas wedding (which was Athena’s first hotel stay too) and…
Dress: pussycat Sandals: New look (old) This is the dress I decided I didn’t want to wear to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. From afar it looked okay, but I didn’t want to wear tights with it, and wasn’t feeling body confident enough to wear it bare legged, partly because I have previously failed at all attempts…
Athena has started to dribble, not a huge amount but definite dribble. On top of that Sam is feeding her expressed milk from a bottle a fair amount now, so that creates mess! I started looking on eBay for pretty looking, comfy bibs, and purchased a few from an eBay seller I didn’t even look at the name of.…
Yup, as weird as it sounds. Dangling from that crane there is a dinner table, and on Thursday that’s where I had lunch! The experience is being brought to Brighton by British Airways, and offers access to a ‘pop up’ Beach Lounge plus a very special experience to dine in the sky at 100ft. We met at the…
