Whereas Henry had slept in a moses basket, and then a small crib besides our bed, I knew I wanted something different this time around. I’d read about the benefits of co-sleeping, (or side-sleeping), and I’d also become a lot more aware…

Henry's Grey & Yellow Nursery Tour
I’ve been meaning to feature Henry’s nursery tour on my blog for a while now, but somehow I never got round to taking the photos for it. Then suddenly I found myself having a slight panic at 4pm the afternoon before the removal men were due to pack up the contents of our house.

Daisy & Bump Nursery Art
When I started picturing how I wanted the baby’s room to look, I began searching for nursery art to liven up the walls. A lot of what I found featured very bold and colourful graphic prints, whereas I wanted something softer and more whimsical. I then stumbled across the beautiful Daisy & Bump collection and instantly fell in love with the mix of pastel watercolour with 3D craft techniques to bring the characters to life. Each piece is hand-made by…
