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
This little chunk is THREE MONTHS OLD! Pearl is definitely not a newborn anymore – she’s a fully fledged baby that is starting to develop and show us the person that she is growing up to be. She is discovering the world and turning into such a sweet little girl with the calmest, sweetest personality.
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
You love being a parent, but boy oh boy, it’s not easy it is? It seems like life is forever moving at a million miles per hour, and while you generally manage things just fine, from time to time you can feel the pressure levels beginning to rise, rise, rise. Aside from compromising your own
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
As Pearl is now 10 weeks old, it seemed like a poignant time to write this post about our breastfeeding journey. The 10 week marker is significant to us as it’s when I stopped breastfeeding with Violet. It was such an emotional week and a huge turning point in Violet’s early months, it sticks in my
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
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
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
