It’s time for one of my favourite posts of the year! It’s time for my 2018 review of the year. Last year was known as the year of Ultra Violet, so this or course Pearl’s year! I feel like it’s been a busy year, yet quiet at the same time. It’s been centred around our
Last year I learned that planning a family Christmas for one baby was magical, even though Violet didn’t have a clue what was going on. This year I learned planning Christmas for TWO babies, one with a head-to-toe viral rash and tonsillitis…. is CHAOS. Christmas this year was most certainly low-key but it was Pearl’s
Over the last few days we’ve mainly been found hibernating on the sofa watching Christmas movies, so I thought it would be the perfect time to complete this years Christmas Tag! Little Violet is currently really poorly with tonsillitis and an allergic reaction to penicillin so we’ve been staying in the warm, watching Christmas movies
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
Advertisement feature in association with the Aviva Community Fund It’s that time of year again! It’s time to talk about The Aviva Community Fund. If you’ve been following my blog a while, you’ll know I’m a huge supporter of this fantastic initiative. Last year, I visited a local primary school who had just received funding of £5000 towards
With Halloween out the way, the countdown to Christmas is truly on! This year with two little ones I feel like preparation for Christmas is going to be tricky to fit in, but with two little excited faces on Christmas day, it’ll all be worth it I’m sure. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS
Post written in paid partnership with Sunlife I’m sure I’m not alone in saying one of the stressful things about maternity leave is worrying about money. It is something that plays on my mind a lot and I’ve certainly had to make some changes since being on maternity leave – especially this time around as
Post written in paid partnership with ASDA Brighton Hollingbury Boo! ? I’m so excited that it’s nearly Halloween! I just love this time of year with Halloween, Bonfire Night, my birthday (the 14th Nov… just in case you wondered) and then Christmas! With the cold, crisp weather, the dark nights – there are so many
Little Pearly-Whirl is officially TWO MONTHS OLD! So it’s time for a little update to see how she is getting on! I wrote these updates for Violet so I wanted to keep the same memories for Pearl too. Since Pearl came along I’ve realised how lovely it is to read back over Violet’s updates from
18 months seems like quite a big milestone – we don’t have a baby anymore but a proper little person with an even bigger personality! She is just soaking everything up like a sponge, learning and changing every day. In her 18th month she became a big sister and showed us all how kind and
The newborn days are like no other. Swept into a vortex of all-consuming love for your new baby with a side serving of sheer exhaustion, worry and difficulties you never expected. Those early days can be so beautiful but so incredibly hard too. The newborn days really do take you to your limits and then
After a whirlwind few weeks, Pearl turns one month old today. Can you believe it? I feel like I always say that about my children’s milestones, but honestly I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone this time! Does it speed up every time you have a baby? It’s gone twice as fast as
