Yup, that's my big ol' tum tum! It wasn't so long ago that I was pregnant and didn't have a cooking clue about what to expect week to week and what was happening to my body. I relied soley on apps and google searches, which aren't always so reliable and so I wish that...
You know what teething is? A royal pain in the, well, gums I guess... Aria has had super itchy gums for a while now, so she chews on just about everything that she can get her hands on. I was ridiculously happy when Panda Love said that they were sending some teething...
Our little Aria Rae turned a whole 6 months old yesterday and so I thought that I would give you and update! Now, this might not seem like a significant milestone, but it really is a biggie for me. We kept a baby alive for half a year - woohoo! Pretty impressive if...
I try to keep things open and honest over here as much as I can, I like to think that we can all learn from each others experiences, whether good or bad. Post natal depression is something I have been wanting to write about for a while but the time never seemed right....
Aria is a bit older now and so I have discovered a few more baby items that I just had to share with you all! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet, I have a new beauty video coming up next week! Save
Other than the very annoying "So when are you having another one?", the second most popular question new parents get bombarded with is "Are they sleeping through yet?". Both questions are so infuriating that it makes you want to throw a chair at the person asking. Now...
Being a parent is hard work. It's late night feeds, decoding cries and literally having your heart walking around outside of your body. And then on top of all of that, you want to make sure that your child is receiving enough sensory stimulation to help with their...
You know what goes hand in hand with being a parent? Stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Gone are the days of just taking your itty bitty hand bag with when you go out. Nope, now you have a whole new bag filled with countless kiddie goodies to take with you as well. Too...
From the moment you fall pregnant (and let's be honest, long before), it is drilled into you: breast is best. You are told over and over how beneficial breastfeeding is for baby and that by exclusively breastfeeding, you are giving your child the best shot at life....
Tonight, like every other night for the past week or so, we dished up our dinner, sat down at the table and made polite conversation. Then I loaded the dishwasher and my husband put away his washed and folded laundry before both sitting down in the lounge to put on...
Can you believe that this blue-eyed cherub is three months old already?! It seems as though I have known her all my life but at the same time that time is just flying by! The past weeks have had their up's and down's and we have learnt so much, so give my latest...
It's that time again... I haven't done a favourites post for a little while and so I decided to jazz things up and do a favourites video. Have a watch below and let me know what you think......
This was such a highly requested video and so I'm really glad that I have been able to upload it...finally. Even though I planned to have a caesarean section birth, I still had lots of questions about the process. I read quite a few articles online and they definitely...
While I was in hospital after having Aria, in amongst all the visitors and flowers, I received a lovely and thoughtful delivery from Medela: a bag full of goodies to make breastfeeding easier. They must have known how nervous I was about the whole deal. Before I get...
Unless you've been living under a rock (or don't follow me on social media...tsk, tsk, tsk!), you will know that we welcomed our daughter Aria Rae on 29 March. Being a first time mom, everything is brand new to me and so I wanted to tell you all about it....
Well, here I sit, 38, almost 39 weeks pregnant, can you believe it?! The last few weeks are a bit of a roller-coaster of emotions and general craziness: getting all our last ducks in a row before baby arrives, thinking about labour, wondering if I'm going to be a good...
