So it won’t be long before I have to crack the 9-12 month wardrobe out, although Athena is only 8 months old today! Most of her trousers and leggings are too short now, and some are getting too tight round her roly poly middle. Tops however are fine mostly, and she’s still in some 3-6… Read More
When I had a self imposed duvet day (well, in my case a fluffy blanket on the sofa day) last week I found myself day-dreaming on pinterest. I ended up browsing various nursery decor boards and one of the images I found was a 3d elephant for the wall, which took me to the children’s… Read More
I’ve been a little absent from twitter and have been posting less blogwise too, and do you know what? I’m alright with that. I was spending so much time scrolling through twitter of an evening, when actually I should have been doing things like reading, cleaning the house and eating proper dinners. Don’t get… Read More
A few of my favourite outfits of Athena’s from the last month or so… Giraffe fleece suit: Matalan.Rainbow striped fleece hoody: Joules. I love how things for babies come with ears, as if babies needed making any cuter! Aztec/horse print playsuit: Tesco (& was reduced to ~£5 last time I was in!)… Read More

However you become aware of different types of parenting on websites/peoples blogs/forums etc it looks like… Read More
Athena was Six months old on Friday, SIX MONTHS. Crazy. I’m sure people don’t bother to read the long-ass monthly updates, and although I like to read them back (& I print them out too) I thought I’d do it a little differently this month… She really has changed into a proper little person… Read More

Although I had plans to wait until Athena turned 6 months old before we started I actually started a couple of weeks ago around 5.5 months. She’s a chunky little thing and has grown a lot in the last month, and was actively attempting to take food out of our hands and off our plates,… Read More
We had a private service by the Vicar that married us a year to the day before. After that we held the reception (is it called a reception if it’s not a wedding?) at The Grand (you can see the lovely we room we stayed in in this post) I was far too busy catching… Read More
Doing – We have a tooth! It arrived without much of a to do and so far I haven’t used any teething gels, powders or medication. I can’t stand the idea of her having chemicals put in her unnecessarily and so far all she’s had is one shot of calpol after her first jabs. I… Read More
