Posts about our family life, you’ll get to know more about us by reading our ‘Scrapbook Loves’, Everyday Us, Sunday Scrapbook and other posts. Family posts cover all the topics that don’t really fit anywhere else!
As part of my role as a Medela Mum I was extremely lucky to be given both an electric and a manual pump to test out and to help with breastfeeding. With Athena I expressed rarely, partly because I didn’t really need to (Sam was working 5 nights a week then and I didn’t have an older… Read More
Now I’m a mum I want more of two things, sleep and changing bags! The latest addition to my collection is this gorgeous Radley number in Cherry Blossom Print. Who doesn’t love a nosy into other peoples bags? These days the only bag I use is a changing bag, and this one has become my ‘Arlo… Read More
Arlo has had two swimming lessons with Water Babies under his belt now, so I wanted to write about our first impressions. Before our course started we were sent an info pack that detailed absolutely everything we needed to know, from where to go (with detailed instructions) and even tips on getting everyone changed successfully!… Read More
You could quite happily spend your time at Bluestone exploring the outside areas, the nature walks and the lakes but there is a lot more to do experience on top of that! (Read the first part of our Bluestone experience here if you missed it!) The Adventure Centre: soft play, mini golf, bouncy castle, Lego… Read More
Arlo has been chilling in style since the day he arrived home in a Fisher Price Take Along Swing & Seat chair, which is great to use as a chair for daytime naps (if I can persuade him to nap on his own rather than on me!) and perfect as a swing to keep him… Read More

On Sunday we were up at the crack of dawn to go to the first car boot sale of the year! We arrived at 7am and spent a sunny three hours bargain hunting! We didn’t actually pick much up, I had Arlo in a sling so didn’t want to keep bending down to rifle through… Read More
I set myself a challenge to read 30 books this year, after managing fifty two last year, yes I am aware that challenges should be greater than previously achieved but I have a new baby okay?! So I’ve only read a couple of books in the last month or so, but my ‘to read’ list keeps… Read More
This month Athena has continued to be loving and caring (if a little rough at times!) with her brother. She makes sure we know when he’s crying, and pats him on the chest or back when he coughs or sneezes! He also is starting to be aware of her, and his biggest grin to… Read More
