One of the main challenges for me at first after Athena arrived was coming to realise that my life runs on baby time rather than regular punctual Lauren time, although from week three onwards that got a lot easier as I learnt to know how long a feed takes on average and to get everything I need ready…
Today my precious baby is three months old! Time has literally FLOWN, it feels like only a few weeks ago that we brought her home from the hospital and sat staring at her. She’s grown loads, and is bang on all her height/weight lines (50 for weight and 91st for height) and last time we weighed her a few weeks…
MaxFactor False lase effect – £10.99 for 13ml or £8.39 per 10ml. A chunky rubbery rounded brush. Lancôme Hypnose Drama – £22 for 6.5ml, or £33.85 per 10ml. A curved brush with fine bristles. I am a dedicated hypnose drama user. It might be pricey but bloody hell does it produce thick black lashes! I once bought regular…
…didn’t really do anything of much excitement. This is a mixture of needing to recover from moving, continuing to sort the house out and unpack, and not having a whole load of money as maternity pay is a bit naff! I guess the highlights were going to my friend Elisas wedding (which was Athena’s first hotel stay too) and…
Dress: pussycat Sandals: New look (old) This is the dress I decided I didn’t want to wear to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. From afar it looked okay, but I didn’t want to wear tights with it, and wasn’t feeling body confident enough to wear it bare legged, partly because I have previously failed at all attempts…
Athena has started to dribble, not a huge amount but definite dribble. On top of that Sam is feeding her expressed milk from a bottle a fair amount now, so that creates mess! I started looking on eBay for pretty looking, comfy bibs, and purchased a few from an eBay seller I didn’t even look at the name of.…
Yup, as weird as it sounds. Dangling from that crane there is a dinner table, and on Thursday that’s where I had lunch! The experience is being brought to Brighton by British Airways, and offers access to a ‘pop up’ Beach Lounge plus a very special experience to dine in the sky at 100ft. We met at the…
Athena doesn’t spend much time in her nursery yet, one or maybe 2 naps a day plus changing and clothing time, but she will spend a lot more time in there in the (hopefully) not too distant future! she’s starting to sleep the odd 7+ hour straight overnight after a spate of broken nights sleep, so as soon…
You’ve probably seen a few people recently blogging about their holiday memories for the Holiday Postcards competition, and I had a think about the best holiday I’d ever taken, so without further ado… In January 2010 I spent three weeks travelling around South Africa. It was the most amazing holiday, and one day I want to go back and take…
Blouse: Miss Selfridge. Skirt: Primark. Flats: New look. Necklace: Freedom @ Topshop I look a bit wonky in the picture, and also I don’t think I look much like me, but it was the best of a bad bunch so ce la vie! This was an outfit from the weekend before last, when we made a trek up to…
Sam and I are going to attempt to have a proper date night/day once a month, with either my mum or some other unsuspecting soul looking after the baby for us. Each month we’ll take it in turns to decide the activity, so I thought I’d share with you our list at the moment… Billy Elliot the musical –…
Tesco recently surveyed 2000 UK parents, and found out that Brightonians spend the most money on their weekly shop, with 41% spending more than £100 a week! They also discovered that 68% of people cook for more than thirty minutes a day during the week but these people clearly do not have new babies in the house! It also…
