Right ladies, admit it, we like to get our own way for a significant portion of the time, especially with our husbands/partners. The key to this is understanding how our husbands/partners work, and then taking this information and using it to our advantage. You can get most things to go your way, if you understand…
Right! It’s the home straight, as hard as this pregnancy has been the end is very much in sight. I need to shake all this worry and anxiety off, as it won’t help for the task ahead and it’s not doing me any good anyway. I need to have more faith, I’ve done this before…
Going back to work after a period of maternity leave can be a very anxious and stressful time, but there are things you can do to help make the transition easier for you and baby. You can check out this source: lawpla.com to find out more information about what you and baby are entitled to….
Recently Princess has been complaining that she is ‘a bit sore’ at changing times. She’s been a bit under the weather as well as teething, so she has been more prone to more nappy rash than normal. She has been looking really uncomfortable during her nappy change, and it has obviously making her a little…
Mummy and Daddy took me to see CBeebies Live at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. I love it when we do things together, but this was really new, I’ve never seen so many seats. Everyone at the Arena was really helpful. They offered to help Mummy down the stairs because she has a baby in her tummy and they…
With about 6 weeks left to go it’s definitely time to start thinking about what’s going in my hospital bag. My labour bag is sorted, thanks to Devon Road Babies so that’s one job done! My Dear Husband was sent to the loft to retrieve my maternity bag today but unfortunately due to…
When you’re born, I will hold you When you cry, I will comfort you When you’re hungry, I will nurse you When you’re tired, I will lay with you If you stumble, I will steady you If you fall, I will catch you If you’re happy, I will play with you If you’re…
I have felt far better than I do this week by a long shot. Week 33 is really getting to me, and the thought of the weeks ahead is even worse. As the idea of writing this post started to gain momentum in my head while cooking dinner it was enough to reduce me…
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to receive a personalised IPad Executive Flip Leather Style case from Mr Nutcase. This was perfect timing as our old one was getting a little battered and was due an upgrade! The website warns you that the case only comes in white and pictures will only appear…
Aren’t toddlers one of the most challenging little beasts you’ll ever come across? We are starting to witness some interesting developments in Princess at the moment, which are causing concern for the current Nursery Peace situation. All Leaders are convinced she is harbouring plans to achieve World Domination, and will stop at absolutely nothing until…
Princess and I have been lucky enough to be sent this lovely pair of Emel Shoes so that we can let you know what we think. This couldn’t have come at a better time for us. I’ve become a little disappointed with our regular brand recently. It seems they are producing more and more fashionable shoes and the quality isn’t…
Isn’t spring a lovely time of year? Everything starts to come back to life as the winter hibernation draws to an end. Despite some grey days this week spring has made a reappearance just in time for the weekend and it coincided perfectly with the reopening of Floralands Farm Park in Nottingham. This was our…
I’m now 32 weeks pregnant and things are getting really hard. I feel like I’m wading through treacle constantly. A short walk to the shops is a major battle with Braxton Hicks firing shots at me all the way. I’m definitely getting in loads of deep breathing practise, it will be a matter of…
Some days I really do find it difficult to accept that I’m a Mum to a 16 year old. It’s not the number of years that’s passed as such. I look at this 6’1/2 foot young adult and I can’t help but see all the years that have gone before him. Having the Princess makes…
I hate cleaning the oven. It’s probably the most detested domestic chore in the UK, or even the world! We had a new oven about a year ago. With toddlers, teens, work and everything else in between this dirty job keeps going to the bottom of the pile. When Oven Pride claimed they could make this…
I always find myself apologising if the issue of Princess’s sleeping arrangements arises with anyone, friends, other parents and even family. You can never be quite sure how it’s going to be received. I find myself apologising for being such a bad parent. I had one of these very conversations just the other day…
