Well, my lovely readers...it's been over a year since my bundle of joy made his very late arrival and I know I'm well overdue a blog post! Clearly, I wasn't quite as 'back' as I thought I was going to be, following on from my last post back in September! 🙈. A lot has happened … Continue reading A One Year Update!

Meltdown Madness!
I think the terrible twos have hit our house early. My almost 9 month old is tantruming left, right and center like you wouldn't believe. His latest thing is wanting to drink out of mine and Adam's cups. I don't mind him having little slips but one little sip usually turns into a soaking wet … Continue reading Meltdown Madness!
An 8 Month Update
On the 4th August, Edison turned 8 months old. He is growing so fast, he is so tall and is wearing size 9-12 month clothes. I've been waiting for the Asda George sale to start so I could stock up on the 12-18 month outfits for him as he's almost in this size! He's doing … Continue reading An 8 Month Update
Christmas In August 🎄
Anyone who knows me, knows my favourite time of year is Christmas. I start thinking about all things festive months and months before! I'm ashamed to say, I only bought my first stocking filler gift yesterday, a lot lot later than I normally start. I'm actually starting to panic abit. I've only got four months … Continue reading Christmas In August 🎄
Nostalgia
Today I read 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to Edison for the first time. This was one of my favourite books growing up. Reading it again has propelled me right back into the past. It's made me think how crazy it is that the little baby girl reading that book all those years ago, now has … Continue reading Nostalgia
Should I start my own business?
This post follows on from my recent 'A New Hobby' post! So as you know, I've been getting really into baking. Especially sugar cookies. I've done tons of reading and research into them and I'm really enjoying trying out different recipes and icing styles. Initially, I started making them with the intention of giving them … Continue reading Should I start my own business?
A New Hobby
I've recently taken up baking. Which, given we are in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK, is probably not the best idea I've ever had. Edison will be turning one in just over 4 months and his birthday party is all booked. Having shopped around for confectionary such as a personalised cake … Continue reading A New Hobby
My Postpartum Weight-Loss Journey, Can I Even Call It That??
So, I've never been one to weigh myself or watch what I eat. When I got pregnant with Edison, I was 9st, a size 8/10 dress size and wore a 32C bra. I put on two and a half stone during my pregnancy. Every time I would jump on the scales I would think 'Oh … Continue reading My Postpartum Weight-Loss Journey, Can I Even Call It That??
Going It Alone
On Friday morning Adam left home for four days to travel to Poland for a stag party. This is the first time he's been away since Edison was born. So, I've been living the somewhat single parent lifestyle for the past few days. Naturally, since Adam is away, I've also flown the nest and headed … Continue reading Going It Alone
Am I Too Posh To Push?
Absolutely not! Thankfully, you only tend to hear this phrase in jest nowadays but there are still some who believe that those who have their babies via caesarean are 'too posh to push'. Once you've had a caesarean yourself, you'll want to punch everyone who says that phrase in the face. Caesareans are by no … Continue reading Am I Too Posh To Push?
