It’s that time of year again. Autumn. Still very mild for mid November but full of fallen leaves and rain. I don’t know about you but there is something quite satisfying about kicking my way through the piles of leaves. I introduced this little pleasure to Zach just last week and he thoroughly enjoyed it […]
This week we meet the lovely Susie from This Is Me Now. Thanks so much for taking part Susie 🙂  Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family I’m originally from York and now live in Norfolk wth my husband Matt. We met at university 11 years ago now! We did long […]
This is a collaborative post Every other year since Zach was born, we have gone away with the other half’s family. It is always hectic and chaotic but wonderful, and Zach has always had such a brilliant time spending a week with his cousins. In 2013 we went to York, 2015 was Norfolk and this year […]
I love discovering small businesses and I especially love discovering small businesses that make beautiful products and that is exactly what Arty Apple does. Amy is a mummy of two who discovered her love of creating beautiful personalised items when she started making them for her little ones. Her hobby has become her profession and […]
Dear Zachary, There is never a time when I don’t feel the mum guilt. When I was at work, it was all consuming. Then I went on maternity leave but being heavily pregnant meant I couldn’t really do much. Then I had Oscar and I couldn’t even walk properly for two weeks. Now, some days […]
It had to happen, it couldn’t last forever. After my ramblings over the past few days, Zach seems to be getting better. There is no more screaming when he wakes up, no more screaming when he swallows, and he has made it through the entire day at nursery in his pyjamas (children in need week!). […]
When you are a new mum, there are some things that are just incredibly important to you. Milestones reached that are not the usual first roll, first tooth etc. All of those are important of course but I’m talking about things you do with your baby. For me, taking Oscar to baby sensory is one of those milestones. […]
I have been a working mum for more than three years now and am currently at the start of my second maternity leave. Some days being at full time work for those three years was extremely difficult while on others it was nice to be able to sit and have a hot cup of tea without having to […]
I always wondered how it worked, juggling two children’s needs. I mean, there is one of me and two of them. There would be times when they both need me and so I often thought about how I would manage their expectations. The expectations from Zach that I have always been there for him over the […]
Last weekend I wrote a birthday card for the other half. Happy 33rd birthday I put. And seeing those numbers felt weird. For the first time it was a bit of a shock to see such numbers written down. Tomorrow I turn 33 myself. Those two numbers that felt so weird to look at written […]
This week we meet the lovely Chloe from Life Unexpected. Thanks so much for taking part Chloe 🙂 Tell me a little bit about yourself and your family Hi, I’m Chloe! I’m a full time blogger and freelance writer. I am so lucky to live in a beautiful seaside town in Cornwall with my little […]
This is a collaborative post It’s really easy to get stuck in a rut with the wardrobe post kids. I know that after I had Zach I spent way too long wearing my maternity jogging bottoms, and there was only so long I could get away with blaming the csection scar for their usage! The same […]
This is a collaborative post To say the last few months have been hard on Zach would be a bit of an understatement. First he had the arrival of his little brother, who he loves to Jupiter and back (his words), but who rocked the world that he knew. We then had a variety of colds buzzing around […]
