Breastfeeding: The End & How I stopped at 19 months

23rd November 201610th February 2020

I made a decision I’ve been thinking about for a long time at the start of the month. I stopped breastfeeding Arlo. To some it may not seem like a big deal but as anyone who is or has breastfed their baby will know, making the decision to stop isn’t one that can be taken… Read More

‘Still feeding’ #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

3rd August 201610th February 2020

Yes, we are “still” breastfeeding. Although why people ask like that I’ve no idea really. The WHO advises breastfeeding till two if it suits mum and child. Arlo is 16 months old and shows no signs of stopping whatsoever. He’s never had a nursing strike and would feed all day every day if he could.… Read More

Breastfeeding: Hot Milk Chic Nursing Bra

16th March 201610th February 2020

Arlo and I are fast approaching our ‘golden boobs’ award, that’s a year for the uninitiated. It’s true that your boobs change as your breastfeeding journey continues and mine have now shrunk a little compared to what they were in the first few months. All but one of my nursing bras were used when I… Read More

Babywearing: BabyBjรถrn One Carrier

14th March 201610th February 2020

If you follow me on instagram you might know I’m a big fan of babywearing and being a mum to two children close in age wouldn’t be half as easy if I didn’t carry Arlo so much. The newest carrier we’ve been using is the BabyBjรถrn One. Now the BabyBjรถrn name has been synonymous ย with… Read More

Babywearing: Visiting a Sling Library (Blogtakeover)

27th January 201610th February 2020

So youโ€™ve heard about slings and babywearing, and fancy giving it a bash. โ€˜OKโ€™ you think, โ€˜off to mothercare we goโ€™ and you trot off in search of a sling, only to be overwhelmed by a confusing selection of uncomfortable looking contraptions and untrained sales staff. If youโ€™re lucky, you might come away with one… Read More

Baby led weaning: the start

6th October 20156th October 2015

I always aimed to wait until Arlo hit 6 months before we started weaning but he was grabbing at food (and playdoh, leaves and grass)ย and shoving it in his mouth with such determination that we actually started a couple of weeks prior to six months, as we did with Athena. However this time we’re heading… Read More

Shared Baths & Win with Earth Friendly Baby [ended]

16th September 201510th February 2020

I love baths, they’re one of my favourite things ever, and much as I do love a nice long soak on my own in a hot tub with a good book these days a family bath is pretty good fun! I’ve always had baths with Athena, right up until the night before I had Arlo… Read More

I wrote in this post about the future of my blog that I wanted to write more about our parenting style so here goes! When I got pregnant for the first time I was given a whole bunch of books from various people and one of them detailed a daily schedule, almost to the minute… Read More

Breastfeeding: Expressing with Medela

29th May 201510th February 2020

As part of my role as aย Medela Mumย I was extremely lucky to be given both an electric and a manual pump to test out and to help with breastfeeding. With Athena I expressed rarely, partly because I didn’t really need to (Sam was working 5 nights a week then and I didn’t have an older… Read More

Beautiful blue skies from earlier in the week. Aru Beautiful blue skies from earlier in the week. Arundel castle is somewhere I've lived close to for my whole life, yet had only ever visited as a very small child. This week I visited the gardens with a friend and absolutely loved it, and will definitely be back to visit the castle itself. The glimpse I saw when we had tea a d scones in the restaurant was gorgeous!

 I'm trying to make a reel by instasham keeps glitching and I can't add music, so maybe you'll see it and maybe you won't ๐Ÿ™„

After another really busy week I'm switching off for the weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday tomorrow and out for a stroll on Sunday ๐Ÿ™Œ

Ad|gifted๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฆ—๐ŸŒˆ We've been playing #Mantis a Ad|gifted๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฆ—๐ŸŒˆ We've been playing #Mantis a lot recently, it's a new game but has quickly become a firm favourite, with us and the friends we've played it with.

Each game lasts around 10 minutes so it's great to play whilst dinners cooking, but you might want to carry on during dinner as it's a little addictive and you'll end up playing a few rounds ๐ŸŽ‰

The aim of the game is to score ten points first by collecting sets of coloured cards. Easy right!? No, because other players can sabotage you and steal your cards for themselves (but, you might have the chance to steal them back!) 

It's really easy to pick up and Arlo managed to beat us all on his first time playing ๐Ÿคช another plus is that's it's very portable and you don't need too much space to play, so perfect to take to friends houses, restaurants and on holiday!

It's from the team who bought us #ExplodingKittens and you can purchase this and other games from explodingkittens.com ๐Ÿ’ฅ
