I love Christmas shopping for my girls, but it can often feel a little overwhelming. We’re a family on a budget so ideally, I want to buy toys that are obviously lots of fun, age-appropriate, affordable and, as Penny has a wonderful imagination, further inspire her to create and explore whilst supporting…
Let me start off by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to congratulate us on social media. Our little girl is finally here! It’s definitely beginning to hit home that we now have a 2-year-old and a newborn under the same roof. To say things…
Throughout my pregnancy, I was complimented on my glowing skin, thick hair and tiny bump. Strangers opened doors for me, asked to carry my bags and indulged me in polite conversation about my due date and other baby related small talk. Occasionally, you can use it to your advantage by getting…
Can you actually believe the weather we’ve been having recently? This may have been the worst summer ever to be heavily pregnant, however, even I can appreciate the glorious sunshine we’ve been experiencing. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated,…
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,…
Unfortunately, I am working tomorrow and was invited to a wedding on Saturday so we had to squeeze all our Easter celebrations into one day. We had so much fun running around the garden finding Easter eggs today. We stuffed our faces with the first ever roast I’ve cooked and spent the…
Shopping for my little girl is one of my favourite things to do. For some reason, as much as I adore River Island* for my own wardrobe, I always overlook their selection of girls shoes and clothes for Penelope. Whilst browsing through their beautiful collection of girls coats and jackets,…
