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

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.

Life has been incredibly busy lately and to … Continue reading Susanna is Three {a Teddy Bears Picnic Party}

If you were to tea with me today it would be an early one, around that beautiful time of the morning when the world just seems to be coming to life. The light is soft. Bird song loud.
