Our feet carry us for thousands of steps every day of the year, and I for one put my hands up and say I very rarely do anything special to take care of them! A few months of not being able to reach them when I was pregnant, and them carrying me and my large bump around mean they’re not…
You’ll probably know that I along with a few hundred other bloggers attended Brit Mums Live, a blogging conference (not just for mums though) in London. I’m not going to whittle on too much about the conference itself as there are probably a hundred other posts that will do that but instead I’m going to write about what changes I…
Breastfeeding means you get to sit and relax (hopefully!) with your baby, but it’s not always easy finding a comfortable position, and sometimes you need your hands free too, for tea drinking/biscuit eating/toddler book reading to name but a few! A couple of weeks ago I was sent this pretty gorgeous nursing pillow from Thrupenny Bits. Their pillows: contour to…
Last Sunday was a lazy morning although I felt shattered due to Arlo waking up numerous times and then Sam getting up at 5am to go snowboarding! After a snooze (all of us!) Skye came to visit and we had a little stroll around town the hit up the park for Athena to burn off some energy! Monday was playgroup…
I have really embraced babywearing since Arlo arrived, I wish I had done it more when Athena was a newborn actually! Arlo gets to have cuddles and snuggles all day as I find it easier to head out with a single buggy for Athena and him in a sling than wrestle with a double buggy! Plus I’ve not found the…
Fat Face isn’t a brand I have any familiarity with, so I was happy to be given the option to choose a couple of items from their Holiday Shop. There was so much to choose from, with styles to suit all shapes and sizes, and ages too I think! I’m always a little wary of ordering online from a…
I am attached to my mobile phone for much of the day, taking photos, flicking through instagram, reading on the kindle app and then when we’re out and about I often listen to the radio or podcasts if both babies are asleep (bliss!). I also listen to music during the night feeds so a good set of headphones that are…
Babymoov recently launched their new range of changing bags with a live catwalk show in Paris which was streamed live on the Internet! I was lucky enough to see it up in London and not only did we get to see the bags on the catwalk but they were all there in the flesh for us to play with! I…
The famous city of Sheffield is located in the county of South Yorkshire. Sheffield has so many attractions that it is difficult to arrange them in order of priority. Of course, we all know that this city has one of the largest universities in the UK (University of Sheffield) – among the top hundred of the best in the world…
I’ve seen this post a few times on peoples blogs and I love to read them, its always so interested finding out more about a person in their ‘mum’ role. Donna tagged me (you can read her post here) so I thought i’d join in! I am the mum who… Hates the word ‘mum’. I never called my mum ‘Mum’…
Here’s what Athena has been reading recently… Colours & Numbers by Alain Grée rrp £9.99 each, available from Button Books These gorgeous hardback books are perfect for introducing colours and numbers to little people, and as the book progresses go into quite a lot of depth on each subject! The colours book talks about light and dark shades, and mixing. The…
So this month the novelty of having a little brother has worn off ever so slightly, there have been a few ‘shushes’ when Arlo has been crying, but she still definitely loves having him around as he’s the first person she asks for when she wakes up in the morning! She still has to be reminded to be gentle around…
