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
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}
“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
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
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.

To our beautiful Susanna, Here we are, celebrating three years of utter joy thanks to you, our precious little smiler. The past twelve months have been a whirlwind of change and you have taken every single bit of it in your stride. As I wrote your birthday letter last year, you were barely talking, and … Continue reading A Birthday Letter to Susanna
Isn’t it strange how one of the first things we ask when we meet someone new is, ‘so, what do you do?’ I have never really understood it, maybe because I have never really cared about what people do for work! It’s certainly not amongst the top ten things I want to know when I … Continue reading So, you don’t work?
We have reached a major milestone with Susanna, she is out of nappies and it truly is divine! At two years and five months I had no real desire to start the potty training adventure. It’s kind of an unwritten rule that you begin training the summer before tots start pre-school, giving yourself time (and … Continue reading Potty Talk
I don’t know when the Christmas celebrations start in your house, I suspect if you have little ones it will be earlier rather than later. For us, it all begins at the very end of November when twinkly lights are appearing in windows and Mariah usually hits the airwaves for the first time. For me, … Continue reading Have yourself a merry little Christmas …
To our beautiful little girl Susanna, How is it that you are two? This year has gone by in the blink of an eye, in fact, the past two years have just gone by in a flash. The funny thing is that your first year was quick, but with feeding, colic, sleep deprivation, self-doubt and … Continue reading A Birthday Letter to Our Daughter
