Our life with our toddler
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the differences between being pregnant with G and this time. Your first pregnancy is the most different because you can do what you feel like doing and, if that happens to be nothing, then so be it. You can nap when you’re tired, eat junk for lunch if…

I’m a bit late with my 28 week update as it fell right over Christmas. However 28 weeks I am and *klaxon* I am officially in the third trimester. Yipee. I had a 28 week appointment at antenatal this week as well as the first of three growth scans to check that the baby is…

Boo has toddled off to school in hers with her donation as have thousands of other school children around the country. This year, children’s food company, Ella’s kitchen has…

This year, I’ve decided to choose my ultimate favourite items from this year, group them together and put them in one place for your viewing delight. For Babies My ideas for babies are on the practical side but they are amazing none the less. While my video review for the Brother Max 6-in-1 thermometer may…
Being pregnant with my third baby means a lot of things. We have pretty much everything in terms of equipment. I just need to buy new mattresses for the crib and moses basket. I will eventually need one for the cot but G is still in it and I am reluctant to evict him…
