Yonks and yonks ago my good chum Donna tagged me in the ‘Sisterhood’ tag, and I wrote the answers then the blog post stayed in drafts for ages, but ha! I have resurrected it so here we go… I think I was meant to ask ten more bloggers ten questions of my own but I am finishing this post hurriedly…
I have been known to have a rant or two on this blog although more recently my rants about So Called Judgemental Parenting Posts and Baby Experts have been hosted on other lovely blogs! So here is another rant for Lauren to host whilst she’s busy having another baby! The one thing that winds me up every time I go into town, every time I…
Meet Arlo Hayden. He arrived via a planned Cesarean section on 31st March at 2.20pm. It was as natural as a C section could have been and he is utterly adorable, sleeping lots, making snuffling noises and generally being very cuddly. He weighed 7lb 13oz, one ounce less than Athena did! Shes met him and seems quite smitten with him,…
When I approached Lauren to ask her if she’d like me to guest post, it (almost) automatically sprung to my mind that I absolutely have to write about Brighton. Brighton is my favourite city in the world to visit, and whilst I haven’t exactly scoured the globe, I’m pretty confident that it will stay a firm favourite no matter where I…
Now we have two little people to care for and nurture (well, hopefully by the time you read this anyway!) Sam and I have been thinking about ways we can ensure a happy and hopefully prosperous future for our children. Although our income isn’t as high as it was when I was working full time as a hotel manager pre…
The week that was irritating at the end… so the word of the week is ‘arghhhhh’. Sunday saw us nip in to town to return a few things and then I did a quick spin round Morrisons on my own (possibly for the last time in a while!) whilst Sam and Theo (Athenas godfather) took her to the park for…
So guess what Athenas favourite word is right now? Yep, “DADDY”. She’s been able to say it for ages obviously but for the last three weeks or so it has been her most said word daily. I go in to get her in the morning and am greeted with ‘Daddy?!’ I go to pick her up from Nursery and am…
View post on imgur.com A couple of weeks ago Aldi sent me a lovely hamper full of chocolate and alcohol, clearly the alcohol will need to wait a little while to be consumed (by me at least, Sam has been tucking in!) but the chocolate was a very welcome addition indeed! The idea was to try out some new alcohol…
Our bed and mattress are around 5 years old now, and have almost seen me through two pregnancies as well as accommodating a larger than average husband too. We do turn the mattress frequently but as it wasn’t a particularly pricey one the begin with it is definitely starting to get uncomfortable. Even though we have a mattress protector on…
It’s much more fun packing the baby bag than the mama bag (but you can see what’s in my bag for a C section here) and I think I’ve re packed it about 3 times now! I’m using a lovely big Stokke nursing bag to fit it all in and am probably packing more than we’ll need but better to…
View post on imgur.com Athena loves baths and refuses to get out even once the water is cold! She has a lot of toys to play with for watery fun too which doesn’t help matters! Annoyingly the tiles in our bathroom have a slightly raised pattern so nothing with suction cups will stick to them, rendering traditional toy holders completely…
As you might know I had sixteen inches of hair chopped off last November (it got sent off to be made into a wig for children suffering from hair loss!) and since then I have been having fun playing around with different styles and products. When my hair was super long I felt like I could hardly put any products…
