In the later stages of my pregnancy and in labour, one thing that got me by was the use of essential oils. Being pregnant meant I couldn’t use anything too harmful, so it seemed the ideal time to try out different essential oils for things like keeping calm, coping with the pain of labour and
I know, it’s been a LONG TIME since I wrote a ‘what we’ve been up to’ style post but I miss them! It’s so easy to get wrapped up in reviews, baby updates and now my blog is my full time job, my sponsored work too. After all, I started this blog to be my

You may have noticed I’ve gone a little cleaning mad over on the blog just recently! I think a house move with a baby on the way is a surefire way to get the urge to nest, big time! A task I’ve been wanting to do for a long time (but always put off!) is

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,
