I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, but I am going to tell you my positive birth story. Yes, I actually experienced this elusive ‘positive birth’ that I’d heard everyone talking about but I’ll admit that in heart-of-hearts I never thought I’d ever be able to achieve. I might have even wondered if it was even
Every girl needs a furry best friend, right?! Well, Robbie is in luck as he just got a brand new playmate to play with and he couldn’t be a prouder big brother! If you’ve been reading my blog a while, I’m sure you’ll have seen me talking about Robbie, but if not – let me
If I could say which element of parenting I find the most stressful, I’d say anything to do with eating, for sure. Give me a full on toddler temper tantrum to deal with over a spilt bowl of macaroni cheese any day. Violet hasn’t been the easiest baby to wean – I think the combination
This post has been supported by Canesten®, but all thoughts are my own Ok, I know – this is slightly different to my usual blogging style, but sometimes you just have to sit down and have an honest chat. Something I love about blogs is that people are able to talk about anything they want
This post is written in partnership with wilko One of my favourite spaces of our new house has got to be the garden. We have just been loving having so much extra space, sunshine and fresh air, right on our doorstep! The only slight snag is that I have no idea what I’m doing when
This week we were invited to a VERY SPECIAL preview event at none other than Peppa Pig World! I’m not sure who was more excited – me or Violet! So once our ‘Royal Invitation’ arrived via the post to the Grand Preview event of a newer, bigger Peppa Pig world with TWO brand new rides, and couldn’t
I’m sure you’ll know by all my elated, frazzled, slightly ranty or damn right stressed posts on social media that we have recently just moved house! We’ve received a fair few comments from people saying ‘Are you MAD? You are 6 months pregnant and have a one year old – you can’t move now!’ but when
I’ve been a bit wrapped up with everything pregnancy and babies recently on the blog, so I thought I’d post something slightly different for today. Going back to my roots, before I hit the parenting blogging scene, I was more a beauty blogger – believe it or not. I know, my chipped nail varnish, slick
I feel like my two pregnancies have been different in so many ways. I’ve had completely different symptoms and the biggest change has been how I’ve been feeling emotionally. I think with Violet’s pregnancy, I didn’t really know what to expect, so it was a constant excitement and apprehension that goes with anything new. This
It seems I’m a bit rubbish at keeping up to date with these ‘life update’ posts, although I love writing them and looking back at them, so I’m not sure why. I’ve got a couple of hours to myself on a Sunday morning (a real rarity!) I thought I’d quickly do a round-up of all
It seems like only yesterday that Violet was born and now she’s a ONE YEAR OLD. I just can’t get my head around how quickly the year has gone! Sadly, on her birthday, she woke up lots in the night with a streaming cold, she had a really awful nights sleep in our bed (meaning
As I write this, I have a mouth full of sugary sweet goodness which was delivered through my door this morning. As a serial sweet-fiend, when Treatbox got in touch and asked if I’d like to review their Treatbox Candy Lovers subscription boxes I didn’t even hesitate to reply with a huge YES. What a
