The vast majority of my maternity wardrobe seems to be in varying shades of black. This wasn’t the case last time but I sold anything that wasn’t breast-feeding friendly pretty much as we were moving house and I wanted to get rid of it! However I quite like black, it’s easy to accessorise and can… Read More
Over the last few days I have been experimenting with Warburtons Thins as an alternative to ‘normal’ sandwiches. I was sent a variety of Thins to try out, and have been enjoying some delish filling combinations too! I tend to find that a sandwich made with bread has too much bread, which in turn can… Read More
A wet week, here’s what happened: Monday was a lazy day, full of Cbeebies, book reading and cleaning, with a very wet trip to the Midwife for my 28 week appointment in the afternoon. I don’t have a waterproof coat that does up over the bump, so decided in my wisdom to take Athena on… Read More
It’s cold and quite possibly raining outside. At this time of year you often have no choice but to stay cooped up inside and with little ones around that can be tough. So, here are a few crafty projects and ideas to keep everyone busy this weekend… and I’ve got another post coming up next… Read More
Much as it will be lovely to have ‘one of each’ (well, this is what people say when I find out we’re having a boy, anyway!) I am glad we found out the flavour of baby this time round to help us prepare a little better! I don’t dress Athena in all girly and pink… Read More
Whoops, time ran away from me it seems, as this was meant to be an 18 month update but is now a 19 months one. The last update I wrote was at 13 months back in July, as I see monthly updates as a bit repetitive and probably not interesting in the slightest for the… Read More
Monday – Finally back in our own King Sized bed after spending the week in a comfy but small double bed at the Mother in Laws, which is no mean feat when your husband is 6’6 tall and I have a baby bump to contend with! We’d got back late the night before so I mostly spent the day… Read More
In 2014 I set myself a challenge to read 50 books, and kept track of my progress on Goodreads. I’m fairly chuffed with myself because I actually exceeded it by 3, finishing 53 books. Above are some of the books I read throughout the year, and if you want to add me as a friend… Read More
I actually feel pregnant again now, after spending most of the 2nd trimester forgetting that I was! I seem to have got off pretty lightly with symptoms in the middle, but over the last few weeks they’re either arriving or getting worse! My last update was at 24 weeks, so hopefully a month is… Read More
Happy New Year! I’m currently sat writing this in a reclining chair (comfy) full of a cold that suddenly appeared this afternoon (not so comfy) and trying to remember what we’ve been up to this week! Here goes… Monday was our first day in Norfolk, having arrived the night before to visit Sams… Read More
