This post has been rattling around in my head for a while now, and I was keen to get people’s thoughts on this particular topic too. I was originally going to call this post ‘the joys of being pregnant at 21’, but I didn’t want you all to think I was encouraging 21 year olds…
One of my favourite countries to visit with the family is Spain. As well as the gorgeous beaches and warm weather I really love their food and attitude to family life. They love fresh ingredients and good old fashioned home cooked meals. I love how you will struggle to eat a processed diet in Spain…
Imagine telling a 4 year old girl she is off to a play date with one of her favourite toys. Baby Annabell invited her down to Smyths Toy Store in Nottingham for a morning of fun and to find out all about the new toy range just launched for autumn-winter 2016.
There comes a point as a parent where we start to think about how to make the home safe for baby. I’ve sat and listened to many new parents who are desperate for the baby to start rolling over, crawling around, and getting on the move. I completely understand how parents want to see their…
Everything about this year is reminding how quickly my babies are growing up. My 2 year old is developing so fast, talking more and more each day. She’s well and truly saying good bye to the baby days as she is wanting to do so much more for herself. My 4 year old will be…
Having a baby can be very overwhelming and there are lots of stories in the press about how much having a baby will cost you which are even scarier. I’ve read some of these estimates and I’m not quite sure where they get their figures from if I’m honest. People have babies all the time from…
As soon as you get a positive line on your pregnancy test, you’ll no doubt be full of a mixture of excitement and nerves. Having a baby is a life changing experience, and both mums and dads will no doubt be overwhelmed by the amount of advice out there. However, it’s important to relax when…
I remember a time when I used to have thick long dark hair. Somedays it would verge on frizzy, but when it was under control it was sleek, long and shiny. My only issue with it was the ongoing debate about what colour it was. For some reason I would get most upset if someone…
Would you try Moony Nappies? Nappies are an interesting thing aren’t they? They are a bit like bank accounts in some ways. Bear with me, and let me explain. We find some nappies we like and our baby or toddler seems to get on with and we rarely change to a different type or brand….
What does a baby see must be one of the most pondered questions by parents everywhere. When all of my children were born I was fascinated by what they could see around them and how all of their senses helped them to survive. Sight is one of the most important and precious senses to your…
WaterWipes are chemical free baby wipes, that claim to be the world’s purest and also carry the Allergy Friendly kite mark. With big claims like this, I was keen to find out more about WaterWipes so jumped at the chance to meet the people behind the brand when they invited me to London. Here’s why I was…
One of the things I adored about Christmas was giving gifts. I enjoyed writing Christmas lists and choosing what I was going to buy and what presents would suit each friend or family member. This was before I had children. When I had children suddenly the whole world of present buying became a very different ball game.
Right guys, you gotta help me out here. I’ve been having some really crazy thoughts recently. Some of my friends have been showing off their gorgeous newborn babies, and oh my word, it’s making me feel broody. It’s completely insane, as rationally the thought of going throw another pregnancy is just too much like hard…
That is it, our baby days are over. Where did they go? They’ve slipped by so quickly. It’s a shame our life wasn’t a little easier these last 12 months, but nothing could have stopped me enjoying watching you grow into the gorgeous little tot you are now. You’re in your second week of nursery,…
Stopping breastfeeding because of the pain should have been an easy choice, but it was still hard and very emotive for me as a Mum to a one year old baby. A few months before, Brook and I ran into problems with breastfeeding. Everything had been going fine until this point, but then I started…
Since I’ve been back on the Mummy circuit, I’ve heard a lot on first time Mum’s talk about their fear of labour and giving birth. It’s completely natural to feel this way as you’ve not been through it before. I’d even say it’s pretty common to feel a little nervous even if you have had…
