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}
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
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
I feel like this post needs to begin with a huge disclaimer; I am in no way a chef and I am certainly not a food blogger but one thing we love to do at our house is to entertain friends and family. You also won’t find any fancy recipes or posh nosh ideas here … Continue reading Eat, Drink & Be Merry
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. Life has been incredibly busy lately and to … Continue reading Susanna is Three {a Teddy Bears Picnic Party}
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
It has taken me a whole week to find the words to write up our first ever Mummy & Me Market; in all honesty, as I start this post I’m still not sure I have the words to properly capture the day. It exceeded every single one of my expectations, every one! Back in June … Continue reading Mummy & Me Market // a new venture
