So at the end of the month we have Halloween, which seems to rapidly becoming more and more celebrated over here in England! This month we’ve been reading ‘Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Everywhere’ from Parragon books. It’s a cute story that covers feelings and emotions and actions in simple terms, in a nice rhyming way. The pages… Read More
One day the week before last when it was miserable and wet outside and nobody was quite feeling 100% I somehow managed creep out from under Arlo, leaving him snoozing away so I could set up a little party in the living room for when everyone woke up! We’d been sent a little bag of Miffy… Read More
Every week I sit down to write a meal plan, and either write it and don’t adhere to it or forget to buy one or two (alright, often more) vital ingredients for the meals. It doesn’t help that we don’t do our food shop on a regular day due to Sams unpredictable work schedule and… Read More
I have a new love! It is a handbag, finally a bag just for me! No nappies or baby wipes will grace the inside of this wondrous item! I have been looking for little ways to regain a feeling of being ‘lauren’ and not MUMMYYYYYYY, and using a handbag again after over two years of… Read More
I am amazed at how speedily the last six months have gone. Half a year as a family of four, yet in some ways it seems like Arlo has always been here! The first six months of Athenas life were a lot more relaxed, sometimes we didn’t leave the house for a few days, we… Read More
Well another month gone and with it the last days of Summer I reckon! I’m fairly happy about that though as I’m a big Autumn lover… bring on the cardigans! I didn’t do a monthly recap last month and maybe not even the month before, and i’ve also been a bit crap at doing my… Read More
So I have been breastfeeding Arlo for very nearly six months now. In a way it seems a little silly to go shouting about it, as it’s a natural thing and only a few hundred years ago or less there was no other option and all mums fed their babies (or employed a wet nurse!)… Read More
Arlo has some new travelling buddies for trips out in the buggy! The Ted & Tess Pram String from Ambi Toys has been accompanying us and Arlo loves to play with the little bears! There are five coloured bears on an elastic with two plastic rings at either end to attach it to your buggy,… Read More
I have hardly seen some of my previously close friends since I became a parent of two. This is for a few reasons, but it does upset me a bit so I’ve been thinking about why: Friends never get my full attention in restaurants or coffee shops because I am: Stopping Athena from emptying the sugar… Read More
We are in the midst of house buying, everything seems to take forever and it’s very frustrating as I just want to get in well before Christmas, unpack and then start sprucing it up! I’ve got so many projects in mind, some big ones like replastering the walls to get rid of the weird textured… Read More
