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

It’s all systems go in our house to get Pearl’s bedroom ready! She won’t be in her own room until she’s 6 months old, but seeing as she’s nearly two months already, I’m sure it’ll be here before we know it! Especially as decorating her room as been quite slow progress with looking after two

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,
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
Ok, this is a slightly different post from me today. It’s not everyday that I write about the risk of carbon monoxide in the home (thank goodness, not sure how many of you would be here if I did 🙂 ) but it’s actually a really important thing to talk about so please stick with
