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 play havoc with my belly…
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 my back in the carrier…
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 week with even more rainy…
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 clothes anyway, so quite a…
I am so excited to announce that TotsBots are very kindly providing us with everything we need to go from birth to potty in reusable nappies for baby boy, in the hopes that we will be 100% cloth converts, 24/7! I poo-poo’d (ha, get it?) the idea of cloth when I borrowed a couple of cloth nappies from a friend when Athena…
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 vast majority of people! That…
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 unpacking, washing and sorting things…
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 on there just click the…
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 long enough that i’m not…
I will breastfeeding baby boy when he arrives, I’m teaming up with Medela, the worlds leading producer of breast pumps and accessories and I and plan to document my journey for prosperity and in the hopes that my experience will help someone else. I do want to point out though that although I believe that everyone should try (and then try a…
Thanks to Soul II Soul for the title of this post (please tell me a few of you are old enough to remember the song? admittedly I don’t remember it being released as I was 5 then but hey…) So today I went back to work after two weeks off, and Athena was back at nursery too which was a…
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 mum in her new house.…
