Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss These non-sticky and fragrance-free lip glosses are available in array of pretty shades. I opted for Super Natural, a ‘my-lips-but-better’ shade which adds just the right amount of colour and gloss to the lips, and Snow Pink, a clear gloss with a delicate shimmer running through it, which gives the lips a plumped up effect. Zara Short Sleeved Sweater This oh-so-soft sweater has adorable short sleeves and a scoop neck. I love the style…

It can be quite overwhelming planning for your new arrival. The baby market is bursting with items, and it’s all too easy to start thinking you need absolutely everything! Here are the items that we relied on in the first few months after Henry’s arrival… Izziwotnot Gift White Wicker Moses Basket When I pictured my ideal moses basket, I envisioned something beautiful and fresh looking.

Henry’s Current Favourites
I’d like to keep a record of Henry’s favourite, to see how they change and develop as he gets older, and hopefully it might help some other mums in the process! Snuggle Bunny This adorable board book follows Snuggle Bunny as he gets ready for bedtime. The centre of each page is cut out to allow for the hand puppet to pop through, which Henry loves to watch and reach…
Henry’s 4 Month Update
As every parents says, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. Our son is no longer a tiny little newborn, but a rapidly growing baby boy, exploring his new world and developing new skills alongside his blossoming personality. Every day is delight, holding new things in store and it is such a joy to watch him grow. – – – Reflux & CMPI After a terrible first three months,…
Baby’s First Christmas
Although it now seems like a distant memory, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to document Henry’s first Christmas here on my blog. During my childhood, the festive period was the most magical and enchanting time, so now that Matt and I have a little one, we thought it would be a good time to start some of our own Christmas traditions. Last Christmas we bought a beautiful white dove tree…

Christmas Candles
There’s nothing more inviting on a cold winter’s eve than snuggling under a soft blanket, sipping a hot drink and lighting a scented candle. Although I already have quite a collection, there’s something special about saving a few seasonal candles for the festive period. Yankee have an array of enticing Christmas candles to choose from, but as I’m partial to all things sweet, my favourites for this time of year are Sugared Apple, Salted Caramel and…
Storksak Caroline Changing Bag
When it comes to changing bags, Storksak was the first brand that sprung to my mind for a high quality, stylish bag. Made from an easily cleanable nylon with a faux leather trim, the Storksak Caroline is spacious enough to use both as a changing bag and a weekend bag. The classic design and colour mean this a changing bag Matt can use too, and he was pretty excited when it arrived and…
Four Weeks Old
Henry is four weeks old today. It seems like an eternity and a second ago simultaneously that I was wondering if the light cramps I’d been feeling were actually the start of labour and we were making the final checks of our hospital bags. It is amazing how much Henry has changed already. We look back at his photos from his first day with us and can’t believe how much…
One Year
Today we celebrated William and Noah’s birthday. One year since we became parents for the first time, and held our sons for the last time. This year has been a hard one, one that we never imagined we would be living. There are so many things we have missed. Watching them grow, hearing them laugh, having their fingers wrapped around ours. Being able to cuddle them. We only had a…
