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 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.

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. There is a gentle hum of morning radio in the background. The school bus passes the end … Continue reading Tea With Me {a life update}
Mojo; your influence, confidence or personal charisma This post has been on my heart for quite a while. It pops into my head multiple times a day but space to write is hard to come by these days. For those of you who know me you will know that I have a beautiful two and … Continue reading Reclaiming Your Mojo
Today it’s coffee with coconut milk and a delicious little slice of lemon drizzle cake. It’s been far too long, hasn’t it? Let’s perch ourselves at the breakfast bar. The windows are open, even though the sun is hidden behind some clouds today; it still feels like Spring, the bird song is loud! It’s around … Continue reading Tea With Me {life update}
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?
