Another month has rolled around. This little boy is growing so fast I can’t keep up. The biggest change we’ve noticed over the past month is Henry’s newfound ability to role play. He loves to put his toys to bed – he covers them with a blanket, kisses them, and then waves goodnight! He likes to play feeding them with his spoon too. He also enjoys picking up the watering…
Pastel Playroom Inspiration
One of the things I’ve most enjoyed planning in the lead up to our move is the playroom that Henry will have once we live in America. Pinterest has been an amazing source of inspiration for the design, and I know he will have so much fun in his special room. I love pastel colours so I’ll be going for pale grey walls and add pops of mint and yellow…
Henry’s 15 Month Update
Now that Henry is 15 months I can no longer really call him a baby (although I still do) – he is a fully fledged walking, talking, rambunctious little toddler. It was sad to see the last of his baby days, the chubbiness of his cheeks and delicious thigh rolls diminishing with the lengthening of limbs, yet at the same time I can’t help thinking that 15 months has been…
Project Life: Baby Edition – Henry’s 1st Year Album
When Henry was born, I did what any new parent does – I took thousands of photographs. I wanted to capture every detail, every marvellous curve and feature of this miraculous little being that Matt and I had created. I was enthralled by him, mesmerised by his miniature perfection. We live in a world where it is easier than ever to capture the moment. My iPhone captures sweet spontaneous moments, whilst…
Henry’s 1 Year Update
The months are passing quickly, and Henry is blossoming more and more each day. I’m sure I’ll say this a lot over the years, but 12 months has been my favourite age of his so far. He has become his own little person and it is a delight to witness his quirks and traits come to the forefront. A noticeable difference over the past few months is that he has become a…
Henry’s 1st Birthday
A belated post, as Friday 10th October marked the day that we celebrated our darling little Henry’s very first birthday. A child turning one is momentous in so many ways. Not only has a baby blossomed into a toddler, it signifies a year of firsts, a year of learning for both parent and child, of tears and triumphs, bonding and discovery. The occasion was especially poignant for Matt and I. Our beautiful rainbow…
BabyBeau Sophia Croc Changing Bag
I adore BabyBeau changing bags. They’re the ultimate mother’s accessory, transforming what could be a dull purchase into something chic, sophisticated and classic. The beauty of Babybeau bags lies in their aesthetics. Their stylish designs and high quality materials mean they look more designer bag than changing bag, which is ideal for all fashionista mamas. I’ve loved, adored and used my Ellie changing bag almost daily since Henry was born, but…
Being a Mother
With Henry’s first birthday approaching, I’ve been reflecting over the past year, how it has changed me, how it has given me new experiences. I have been a mother for nearly two years now, and a mother to a living child for almost one. When I look back on the journey we had to get here, this moment, it seems so stark, so distant. I think back to when I…
Henry’s 10 Month Update
Henry is 11 months old today, how did that happen so quickly?! Before I go off on a tangent about how quickly his first birthday is approaching, I’ll give an update on his 10th month, which has been my absolute favourite age of his so far. His personality is developing in leaps and bounds and due to all the new skills he’s mastering which allow him to engage and interact more than…
Henry’s 9 Month Update
This past month, Henry has been an absolute joy. Whereas I noted in his 8 Month Update that it was a difficult month with him being extremely clingy and having a fair amount of tantrums, his ninth month couldn’t have been more different. He has been so lovely and I feel as though we’re now closer than ever and I cherish the bond we have developed. He is such an affectionate and loving little boy and…
