‘Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart’ – Winne the Pooh by A.A. Milne Buying a gift for a new baby can be difficult. Yes, you could buy all the adorable clothes, socks, mittens and hats in the world but, realistically, are they something the parents…
It’s been a crazy, wonderful, life-changing couple of days. At around 8.30pm on Wednesday I was cleaning the sink and felt a trickle – my waters had broken and Poppy’s birth story had began. I’d never experienced this with Penny before. We phoned the maternity unit and were adviced to pop…
We’re expecting Penny’s little sister to arrive any day now. She could even be here by the time this post goes live! I’m booked into the hospital Friday morning to start the whole process of being induced… again. Why don’t my baby’s ever want to leave? My hospital bag has been…
Whether it was Barbies, Puppies in my Pocket, Pogs, Tazos, Polly Pockets or My Little Ponies, little girls have been collecting adorable little trinkets, animals and dolls for years. Now is the time of the Num Noms… but what exactly are they? I must admit before Penny and I were…
What do they say? Never work with children or animals? Although I love it when I get a blogging opportunity that includes Penny, it without a doubt makes putting the actual post together ten times harder! If she doesn’t like the toy, you can read it all across her face and…
With only four weeks to go until my baby girl’s due date, I was so happy and relieved when my Baby Box was finally delivered to our new address just a few days ago. In Scotland, every newborn baby due on or after 15 August 2017 is entitled to a free baby box from…
With only six weeks to go, not only am I on a mission to get the baby’s nursery decorated but I have already started to pack my hospital bag to make completely sure that I am prepared for our little princess’ arrival. Being organised really helps alleviate some of my anxiety,…
Penny’s 2nd birthday was last weekend *sob*. It seems like only yesterday she was a tiny little newborn lying on my tummy in the hospital. Now she’s two and becoming a big sister. We had a BBQ for her in the garden with a few of her friends and in typical fashion, little…
When any brand chooses to work with me and my little blog it makes me incredibly happy. My absolute favourite opportunities are the ones that include Penny too, even if it makes the whole process that bit more difficult! She’s not the most patient of models and, let’s face it if…
As we head into week 30 of my pregnancy, preparation for baby number two is well underway. We moved house just last weekend and now have an extra bedroom and tons more space to decorate, plan and prepare for our little girl’s arrival. The baby box is full of new supplies, a…
On Friday, we took a trip to Dundee and found ourselves at the Butterfly Cafe (28-32 Commercial Street). Butterfly Cafe prides itself on being a colourful, fun and interactive cafe that allows children and babies to eat, learn and play in a safe and happy environment. Not only is the…
The last few weekends have been lovely and Penny and I have made full use of all the glorious sunshine. As we gear up to summer, let’s talk children’s clothing, toys and sun protection with Nivea, La Coqueta & Little Tikes… Using the right sun protection is incredibly important. Penny and…
Last week I had my 20-week scan and honestly, I could have stared at that little blurry screen for hours. I had a trainee sonographer so the process took a little longer which I took great enjoyment in. I can’t believe that I’m already halfway there. That little misshapen blob that I…
When the lovely team over at Little Tikes UK contacted me to write a post highlighting the importance of outdoor play as well as promote their fantastic range of interactive outdoor toys, I jumped at the chance! My little girl, Penny (nearly 2), loves to explore outside and, as a creche worker,…
If you’ve read my previous post you probably already know that things have been really difficult and stressful lately. I am definitely in need of some relaxation and a good old pamper session. So you can imagine how loudly I squealed with delight when I found out I had won a giveaway…
