Dear Violet & Pearl, Being your mum is the very best thing to happen to me, you are my absolute world and I want to show you the best way to navigate this amazing but difficult world where you will grow up and live long happy lives. Right now, you are just babies – it
I can’t quite believe I’m writing this but today Violet is THREE. Definitely not a baby and not even a toddler – she’s a proper little girl ready to take on the world! I feel like I was just writing her birth story and now I’m writing about a three-year-old. Am I stuck in a
This month seems to have been a real turning point for Violet & Pearl. They’ve suddenly grown so close and have started to form the inseparable bond I always hoped they would have. They are so cuddly and affectionate towards each other it really melts my heart. Plus, things have eased up for me as
In paid partnership with Childcare.co.uk With two little ones and my own business to run, it’s fair to say I’ve got my hands full most of the time. We don’t have immediate family around to look after the children and my often my friends kindly offer but they have children themselves so it doesn’t feel
Last week Violet had her NHS Children’s Nasal Flu Spray and up until the day of the appointment, I realised I had very little idea what to expect. I also suddenly realised this was the first time I was taking Violet for an appointment now she is on the cusp of three, therefore very aware
I suddenly realised it’s been nearly 6 months and I’ve not written a siblings update on Violet and Pearl – where did that time go? I loved writing them last year so I want to try and keep them up this year as they are so lovely to look back on! I’ll try to keep
If there is one question I’m constantly asked, it’s HOW do I fit everything into my life, keeping the balance whilst being a working Mum of two very little girls. It’s a tricky one to juggle but this week is National Work Life Week so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share
Post is written in paid partnership with Canvas Champ It’s October so that means I can officially talk about CHRISTMAS! 🎄 Ok, I’m a little early this year as usually I’d wait until my birthday to even mention the c-word (14th November, if you were wondering!) but I feel like this Christmas is going to
This is a post I wrote for Babycentre back in 2017 – it was so popular over there I wanted to share it here! Enjoy (and look how tiny Violet was!) As a new parent, stepping into the realm of ‘mummy groups’ can be a daunting prospect. Going to my first baby group felt like
Post contains PR samples and affiliate links Since having the girls, we’ve been long term fans of the Summer range, using all different products from swaddles and baby baths, to playpens, booster seats and baby monitors, they have such handy innovative products they are often my go-to brand when we are looking for our next
It’s been a LONG time since I have written a Violet update – maybe the last one was on her second birthday and before that her 15 month update. Poor little love, I hate to admit it but I think she’s been overshadowed by her little sister (for once!) as I’ve been focusing on
It’s a week later and I’m still buzzing from Pearl’s First Birthday Party. Despite it being the windiest day of the year (in August!) we still had the most perfect time, with all the children and adults having a fabulous time – although I’ll confess I did need a lay down and a large prosecco
