Bambino Mio All-in-ones – the overnight test!

A couple of weeks ago you may have seen me post this video on instagram showcasing four new prints from Bambino Mio (I’ve popped it at the end of this post too!) The four new nappy prints are awesome! I think my favourite is Circus Time though even the little popcorn containers have ‘BM’ on them! The all in one…

Things I am looking forward to this year

I meant to write a post like this at the start of the year, but then things got in the way and suddenly we’ve just started the third month of the year! Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed thinking about the future, how will I cope with two babies under 2 years old. How will we cope financially without met…

Fisher Price Soothe & Glow Owl

In preparation for our new arrival I was very kindly sent a Fisher Price Sooth and Glow Owl, and just in case Athena felt left out she got one too! As ‘new baby’ isn’t here yet his Owl is still safely tucked up in his box, but Athena has been making friends with hers already! The Owl is the perfect…

In February I…

In February I… Read: Where Things Come Back, which is very good. I also read Pretty Honest, which really wasn’t that good, very few make up hints or tips that I’d not heard of and I didn’t really like the style it was written in either.  I wanted to read more but I’ve just been too zonked, you can befriend…

Stuff on a Sunday #20

This week was sponsored by the words ‘rain’ & ‘snot’. Sunday was spent feeling sorry for myself because I was still feeling like crap after coming down with the lurgy on Friday, I don’t think we actually left the house! In the morning we built a new square shelving unit thing from Ikea (annoyingly one of the bits had a hole…

Pregnancy: 35 weeks with baby number 2

My last update was at 32 weeks here, and blimey time flies! I’ve now finished work and although the next two weeks are actually annual leave rather than maternity leave it means that if everything goes to plan I have around 4 weeks until this baby appears! Appointments I had my 34 week midwife appointment last Monday, I am measuring…

Stokke Home – a preview of the new collection

Last Friday I was invited along to the launch of the new Stokke Home collection which was being unveiled to the world for the first time at The Baby Show. We were privileged enough to have the designer talking us through the concept from inception to the final products, and I defy anyone not to fall in love with the…

Maternity style: Frugi Nursing dress

   Hands down the most comfortable dress I’ve worn this pregnancy is this gorgeous dress from Frugi. Not only is it comfy now but it has discreet nursing panels so that I can continue wearing it once the bump has become a baby! I love the pattern, bright bold florals on a navy background. I really wish these photos had…

What I’ll miss about my commute to work…

So today is my last day at work, I went back after my last maternity leave in July and got pregnant the same week, so I’ve only clocked up 8 months… But I’ve been quite enjoying my 25 minute train commute to and from work, and will actually miss it when I don’t have to do it any more (even…

My tips for dressing a bump without spending a fortune

I wanted to do more maternity style posts this pregnancy, but time is rapidly running out it seems! I do have a GORGEOUS maternity and nursing dress coming up this weekend though! Below are some tips for making the most of dressing your bump without spending a fortune, but first here’s one of my go to outfits at the moment, my…

Interiors: A home office in limited space

We don’t have the glorious benefit of a spare room, and if we did it would become a nursery for the new arrival anyway! So sadly I do most of my blogging from the sofa, but this is getting problematic for a couple of reasons. The first is only temporary, and that is that it is pretty hard to get…

Breastfeeding myths with Medela

I talked about my intent to breastfeed this baby when he arrives in this post: Preparing to breastfeed a second baby, and now we’re getting closer to my due date I’ve been thinking about it a bit more! Medela very kindly let me ask their lactation consultant Sioned some questions about breastfeeding, and two of them very much focussed on…
