There is nothing more special than seeing the look on your children’s faces on Christmas day, right? I’m so excited as this year we’ll have two little faces to celebrate this Christmas with! I’m sure at only five months old Pearl isn’t going to remember much but it’ll still be her very first Christmas! Violet
If you are anything like me by now you’ll be wracking your brains trying to think of exciting and different Christmas gifts for your little one. I certainly am this year! Usually I’m a ‘plan it all’ spreadsheet kind of girl, but I think this year with a house move, a baby and generally looking
I have a little theme running on my blog at the moment – I’m recreating posts that I wrote in the early days with Violet but with a brand new update now Pearl is here! Today’s post is an updated version of this post, where I talked about my struggles with getting out of the
Post written in paid partnership with Organix As Pearl is nearly three months old, it really won’t be long until we start weaning again – can you believe it?! I’ve made it no secret that weaning was one of the harder parts of parenting. Firstly, I’m a rubbish cook and secondly Violet is a really
Having two-under-two means anything that makes my life easier is an absolute lifesaver. Before Pearl arrived I knew I’d need to create a safe place for her to sleep and play – away from naughty little toddler fingers and Robbie’s boisterous waggy tail, or I would never get a thing done, that is why I’m
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
When it comes to choosing your babies car seat, safety is always the most important factor. Even as a second time Mum, the moment we were discharged from hospital with Pearl felt like the most daunting challenge in the world to keep such a tiny human safe! Like most parents, the first thing we did
Post written in paid partnership with Organix I’ve shared a huge amount of our weaning journey with Violet on the blog, but I’ve not ever talked about our decision to raise our children as vegetarians, so I thought I’d chat about this today. This isn’t just about not eating meat but also how we always
When I had Violet, I literally had NO IDEA what we would realistically need in our hospital bags. I just followed a couple of online guides and hoped for the best. It turned out we were in hospital quite a lot longer than I packed for so V had to run home to get spare
Now Violet is a little bit older at nearly EIGHTEEN MONTHS (?) it’s been amazing to finally upgrade our travel system to a lightweight stroller. No more loading multiple parts of a heavy pram into the boot of the car, this is one of the lightest, easiest strollers I’ve ever used! Being heavily pregnant it
I’m sure you’ve seen my recent posts (mainly of frustration!) around weaning Violet and her journey with eating. She is not a big eater and is extremely fussy, which has been a real surprise to me. I naively thought as I eat a huge variety of foods, flavours and spices, she would too – after
Just recently I’ve noticed a difference in the way that Violet plays with her toys. As she is 18 months now, she’s started to understand exactly how to play with each toy and what it does, rather than just being attracted to pretty shapes, colours or textures. With the new baby on the horizon this
