A Letter to Connie on your First Birthday

March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

To Our Brown Eyed Girl Sweet Connie, you are one. It feels like just yesterday I was timing what I thought may be contractions, excited that you may be making your arrival. Of course, you kept us waiting eleven days, just like your sister. I can tell you for certain, every single second was worth … Continue reading A Letter to Connie on your First Birthday

A Birthday Letter to Susanna // Four Years of You

October 10, 2019October 10, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

To our precious big girl, Four! How can that be? I feel like just a second ago we were (im)patiently waiting your arrival with absolutely no clue about what it would be like to be parents but full of hopes and dreams for the journey ahead. It sounds like a cliché but I honestly feel … Continue reading A Birthday Letter to Susanna // Four Years of You

And Then There Were Four // Connie’s Birth Story

May 7, 2019May 7, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

We arrived home at 10.30pm, Storm Gareth was raging and the house was in darkness. Part of me was gutted that we were home without either of our girls, it just wasn’t at all how I imagined it would be when I left that morning but I was also just so relieved to be home. … Continue reading And Then There Were Four // Connie’s Birth Story

10 Days and Counting {inducing our second baby}

May 4, 2019May 4, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

If you had asked me what my “perfect birth” would have been as we eagerly awaited the arrival of our baby girl it would have went something like this; waters pop at home, arrive at hospital around 8cm dilated, hop (yeah right) into the birthing pool, breathe that baby out to the sound of a … Continue reading 10 Days and Counting {inducing our second baby}

A Quick Tour of the Third Trimester

April 15, 2019April 15, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

So as I write this I am sat on the sofa with the laptop precariously perched on what is left of my lap, my bump has well and truly taken over. I am two days away from my due date and feeling a whole mixture of emotions; mainly excitement of course. This pregnancy has gone … Continue reading A Quick Tour of the Third Trimester

Sailing Through Second

February 16, 2019February 16, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

I heard somebody saying that the second trimester is like the honeymoon period of pregnancy and I think that’s pretty accurate. Even though my nausea lingered on at the beginning of the trimester, there was a definite and noticeable shift in how I felt. Suddenly my energy levels picked up, a neat bump appeared, I … Continue reading Sailing Through Second

A Week in Outfits {the pregnancy edit}

February 11, 2019February 15, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

I did laugh when my lovely friend Laura asked me to join in a week of outfits alongside some other local mummies. I am currently three weeks away from giving birth so my wardrobe is hugely limited and very “comfort” heavy! Laura explained, however, that she wanted an authentic mixture of real life style, representing … Continue reading A Week in Outfits {the pregnancy edit}

Surviving The First Trimester

January 6, 2019January 6, 2019 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

“Oh my days, I am so excited, aghhh we are having a baby”, “Oh my days, what.have.we.done?” Sound familiar? Second pregnancy, same roller coaster of elation and sheer desperation. For me, the woes of the first trimester seem to extend to around the halfway point of the much awaited second trimester. What. A. Joy! This … Continue reading Surviving The First Trimester

Mummy & Me Winter Market

November 22, 2018 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

Somebody pinch me, am I really sitting here writing a post on our second Mummy & Me Market? It was less than six months ago that I met with fellow stay-at-home Mum Laura, in a coffee shop and had an “I wonder if this could work” conversation. We nervously discussed ideas, did some research and … Continue reading Mummy & Me Winter Market

Susanna is Three {a Teddy Bears Picnic Party}

October 16, 2018October 16, 2018 ~ My Copper Fox ~ 1 Comment

I wonder if there will ever be a time when my daughter’s birthday doesn’t catch me off guard? I remember hurriedly planning her Pumpkin Patch party last year and once again, the date crept up on us and we hadn’t even so much as sent an invitation. Life has been incredibly busy lately and to … Continue reading Susanna is Three {a Teddy Bears Picnic Party}
