Lying on the freezing floor at 3am, ‘demonstrating’ to my definitely-not-hungry, just-needs-to-shut-his-eyes baby how to go to sleep, I wonder how much it would cost to buy a life-size, warm, “breathing” model of me… Because as soon as I try to silently creep out of the room, tiny man realises, turns over, gives me a hard stare.. and starts to…
Hi everyone, My name’s Adele-Marie and I run a little beauty & lifestyle blog over at One Girls Obsession With Makeup. I thought I would share today my favourite products to use when I’m in a pinch for time and I need to get ready quickly. I have to get up at 2.30am some mornings for my job so this definitely…
So you’ve heard about slings and babywearing, and fancy giving it a bash. ‘OK’ you think, ‘off to mothercare we go’ and you trot off in search of a sling, only to be overwhelmed by a confusing selection of uncomfortable looking contraptions and untrained sales staff. If you’re lucky, you might come away with one of the ergonomic carriers they…
Falling into parenting the third time isn’t actually as bad as I expected. My expectations are quite logical and I know mine, the husbands and the children’s limits in terms of what needs doing and when. I do remember first time around finding so much conflicting advice on how to bring up your children. With time you realise that the only…
Last Thursday was a nightmare so I thought I would send a huge thank you to the lady who was opposite me for her incredibly helpful input whilst my daughter had a meltdown. Tutting at me really REALLY helped the situation and stopped her hysterical crying and made my stress levels instantly evaporate. While you are stood
The ‘night before we go away’ rush is a familiar one, but normally we’re scraping together a mish mash meal of whatever is left in the fridge, but not this time! As a reward for finally finishing the packing we headed off to The Sportsman in Brighton for a meal together before an early night in preparation for a 5am…
A couple of months ago I was sent a lovely parcel from Bepanthen, containing their skin care range for mums and babies along with some other lovely goodies.
Yellow and grey will probably be out of fashion by the time we eventually move but I really like the colour combination. I actually prefer pink and grey together but wouldn’t want to decorate a room in our home pink! I’ve picked out a few favourites from my late night feed Internet trawling and put together a mood board…
I don’t know about any other mamas who are up in the night feeding hungry babes but I spend a lot of it scrolling through instagram. It’s become a really inspirational place recently, not just for people but for clothing, jewellery and decor items too. Blue Brontide is a relatively new account, and has a shop selling eco-friendly and organic…
My once chubby toddler is now a seemingly gigantic tall girl! It happened all of a sudden, she shot up and starting talking in sentences. She’s even more sure of what she likes and doesn’t like and has us both wrapped around her little finger. She is her brothers favourite person in the world. I’m late writing this as she…
Another month, another four weeks of watching these two grow together. In all honesty not a great deal has changed in their relationship in recent weeks. Athena still likes to body slam Arlo and to sit on him, all in the name of sisterly love! He’s still very
Hello first Stuff on a Sunday of 2016! Here’s a little non chronological run down of our past few weeks because I’ve still not got over the Christmas/New Year ‘what day is it?’ fug. I’m still very much in lazy Christmas mode, I don’t really have any energy to do anything useful at all but I wanted to try and…
