MEET BABY PEACHES, NO 2 – COMING 08/08/2018! Violets brother or sister has been cooking away quietly for 13 weeks now so I’m pleased to say we can FINALLY share our big news. Today was our scan and baby was happy, wiggling and healthy, with two arms, two legs and a beating heart. Such a
It’s safe to say on Valentines Day last year, I was feeling anything but romantic. I had ten days before Violet’s birth, so at this point I was giant, uncomfortable and just counting down the days. Our life revolved around ‘labour watch’ – jumping at every little twinge, so Valentines Day passed us by without
Firstly, some exciting news! A few weeks ago I was recently asked to join the Netmums Star Reviewer panel, which is a small group of bloggers & vloggers chosen to review latest baby products for the Netmums Youtube channel. So, of course I was delighted to join up and was shortly sent my first assignment.
At nearly 11 months old, we have decided to just bite the bullet and delve into the realm of sleep training. Violet is nearly 1 and hasn’t ever been able to self-settle for either naps and bedtime. For the last year we have rocked her until she drifts off every single time she needs to
Being in the second half of my maternity leave means it’s time to tighten the purse strings as maternity pay really doesn’t go very far! With the colder weather upon us, I’ve been thinking about ways to save on our energy bills over the winter months as this is the most expensive time of year,
Welcome to a little round-up of everything we’ve been up to recently! It dawned on me over my blogging break at Christmas that the reason I started my blog was to keep a diary of our lives. I wanted it to be a space to capture my thoughts, memories and something to look back on over
January always gets me thinking about the year ahead and our future plans for holidays. I know I seem babied-up to the max at the moment, but before Violet came along, travelling was my passion. We used to spend every penny on our long haul holidays and exploring the world. Even though I can’t see
Water Babies is the HIGHLIGHT of our week, honestly – Violet just loves it. Well, she is a pisces so I knew she’d have an affinity for water, but I didn’t realise she would show it at such a young age! Chapter 2 is over now, so it’s time to look back on our Water
Watching Violet grow and learn has got to be one of the best things about being a parent. Every time she reaches a new milestone or learns a new skill, I just burst with pride. This morning, I went into her room to collect her from her cot, I could see she was awake on
Whilst we are on the subject of weaning (did you see my las post, is Violet a FUSSY EATER?!) – I thought it would be fitting to write a little review of our super cute highchair as I’m always getting people asking me where it’s from and I am a little bit in love with
It’s time for a WELL overdue weaning update! Violet is now 10 months and well on the road to eating solids, but I have to say it’s been a much trickier journey than I ever imagined. As Violet reaches 10 months, she is becoming a really fussy, picky eater which I really didn’t expect as
They say that when you have children, Christmas becomes all about them, and I can safely confirm after our first Christmas together as a family that this is true, but it is also totally magical experience too. It’s like that childhood magic returns and you see it in their faces, I’m sure Violet is too
