Evelyn’s Bedroom Tour

Evelyn's room is possibly my favourite room in our (very small) house! Living in London means, at the moment, we have a two bed home. I love it because it is ours and needed little doing to it when we moved in. Previously owned by a builder, the house was perfectly painted, white and neutral!…

The Many Versions of Mummy!

In the 820 (give or take a few) days I have been a Mummy I have changed. I have grown and learnt - yes, that's a given. I have taken on this life altering, permanent challenge that will be my greatest success.. blah blah blah. What you don't realise, as you paddle your way through…

Love, Love, Love

So, short sharp blog post today! I needed to share this beautiful video my lovely cousin has made to commemorate my daughters 1st birthday!   It still blows me away when people do something... Anything... With my daughter in mind! A text, a photo, a keepsake... It seriously brings a tear to my eye!!!  Love…

Happy Birthday Mummy!!

Today was my birthday. 29. 264 days left in my 20's. What a depressing thought!! Or maybe not. Maybe this will be the most exciting decade of my life so far!! I get to watch this little piece of me grow and change and learn and discover the world. Today we went for Evelyn's 10…

Back to Work

Maternity leave seems like such a distant memory these days! Going back to work has been a few things. Emotional. Exhausting. Frantic. Enjoyable. Surprising. I knew it would always happen and I was prepared for all of these emotional situations! One thing I will say to all those 'whirlwind' mummies who are still in the…

The C Word

Cesarean. C Section. Through the 'sun roof'. The other way of giving birth.  It never entered my head that I might end up having a c-section. In my head they are used in drastic cases. Emergencies. Evelyn was overdue. Midwife told me she was fine but "didn't want to budge just yet". This was ok…

Middle Finger up to Mummy!

Evelyn is 8 months old and she surprises me every day with how much she knows and how aware of everything she is. This is beautiful, magical and wonderful..... Well.... Most of the time. But there are those rare occasions where I see a little twinkle in her cheeky, blue eyes when she is about…

Friends and their babies!

So maybe your friend is pregnant or she might have just had a baby! If you aren't sure what to say or do then the fear is that you might not say or do anything! You might feel like you don't want to 'step on toes' or 'interrupt the day' but the reality is your…

Father’s Day Art!

It's Father's Day on Sunday and I have no idea what to buy Adam. It's his first Father's Day so I want it to be something meaningful and special. I trawled Pinterest to find some inspiration and I decided on a combination of 'Evelyn artwork' and pictures. I also managed to create something mess less!!! …

Baby Shower Fun

Yesterday was my lovely cousin (in-law)'s baby shower! The only difference was that the beautiful baby Oliva Rose had already made her grand entrance to the world last week! She couldn't wait another 4 weeks to meet us all and surprise us with her presence! So the Baby Shower become more of a 'Welcome to the…
