Hospital Bags! What I needed.

   Ok, on the internet there are hundreds of sites telling you what to pack for you and baby for the hospital. What you think you need and what you ACTUALLY need are two very different things!  I spent nearly a week in hospital and still didn't need half of the things I packed!! However,…

Workout of the day #3

Wednesday! Still motivated! Walked up the massive hill with the pram today! Was a workout in itself - treated myself to a caramel latte at the top. Adam has told me that was bad, I should of had a green tea... But they aren't as tasty! Ho hum! Ok, on to tonight's mini workout!  Wednesday…

For the love of reading!

   One of my first memories is being tucked into bed and read a bedtime story. I used to love being read to by my parents and it inspired me to go on and read a lot, take English as an A level, do a literary degree and become a primary school teacher who loves…

Workout of the Day #2

Ok. Tuesday. Day 2! Dreaded burpees on the menu today! Mwaha. I felt really ready for today's workout. As they are only 10 mins long it's not too hard to motivate yourself to do it. Plus my 'personal trainer' wouldn't let me forget! Tuesday - Day 2 Today only has 3 exercise but 5 sets.…

Candy Floss!

   Yet again Evelyn's outfit today is alllllll Next baby! She has really grown to fit the Next baby sizes. M&S were too wide, mothercare was a bit long and Mamas and Papas were too expensive! Haha. She has been the right shape and weight for all of the Next clothes and they have always…

Workout of the day!

My mission to get fit in 12 weeks! I have bought a new weight watchers 12 week journal and have started a daily workout designed by my lovely, fitness crazy husband! I thought I would share my journey and hopefully see my results! If you want to follow along with me then that would be amazing!…

Baby got back!!

Literally. From the baby! Baby weight is a cruel consequence of the wonderful miracle of having a baby. Pretty shitty! I know, I know it's the body's way of helping you grow your little bundle of joy...but 6 months later that is a distant memory!  Weight watchers here I come!!!  It's the only thing that…

Why it’s the best job in the world!

So, it's 5pm and Evelyn is napping in my arms. I should put her down in her cot but something in me loves having her whole hand wrapped around my little finger, her breathing is therapeutic to me now. Sitting here I've been thinking about the reasons being a parent is the most rewarding/stressful/messy/selfless/exhausting/crazy experience!…

Food, Food, Food!

   So, yesterday I posted a blog about weaning! Weaning for us has definitely been a trial and error process and I am determined to do my best to raise a child who eats most foods! I'm hoping that giving her a range of tastes and flavours now might help this. As Evelyn is a…

Boarder for Baby Blanket

So, as a novice to crochet I have used youtube tutorials to teach me the basics! I have created this simple treble crochet stitch blanket changing colours after every 4th round!! The scalloped boarder seemed like a nice way to end my blanket and make it girlie! Here is how I did it! My blanket…
