Welcome to Violet’s nursery! She has the best room in the house! It’s light and airy with beautiful seaviews – I’m rather jealous to be honest! We were working on it months before her arrival, lovingly choosing the colour paint (which is called Violet White, nonetheless) and carefully assembling furniture, dreaming one day she will
Breastfeeding – it’s a tricky subject isn’t it? So much pressure, so much judgement and all that everyone wants to do is their best. That’s all I was aiming for, I naively thought it would be a simple, natural process – little did I know it would be way harder than I could ever have
** Just a quick disclaimer – I know Violet is now here, but this post was written in it’s entirety before she arrived and I was still pregnant! She arrived before I could get it scheduled and it’s been sitting my drafts since – I haven’t edited it at all and wanted to still post
Wowee, what an amazing month it’s been! Finally, I’ve found a moment to write about Violet’s first month on the earth and how our lives have turned upside down from the instant she arrived. We’ve been so busy, it’s been a whirlwind – we have been inundated with amazing friends and family from near and

Next up for my Mama Stories Blogger Takeover, I welcome Rachel! She writes at RachelBustin.com.

It’s all worth it though as her little girl is just gorgeous! Here is

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I thought maternity leave was meant to be restful, but it certainly hasn’t been so far! Clearly, I don’t know how to stop as it’s just been go, go, go since the day I stopped working. We even had a harebrained idea to put our house on the
Eek, as I write this I’ll be 38+3 – where has the time gone?! I can’t our due date is in just 11 days time – if we make it that far, that is! These last few weeks have been a rollercoaster (as most of pregnancy is) so here is our latest update, and potentially
WAHOO! I’m officially now on Maternity Leave! So far – it feels so bizarre, I’ve never had so much time off in the whole of my adult life, so a year off just feels crazy! It’s only my first day but I already feel like this is quite a surreal time, where I don’t have
