Ever since Ellie was first born I have loved Nuby Products. In the hospital we used the First Infant Milk Starter Kit which used Nuby teats. Since that day Ellie refused any other branded bottle and on her second day at home we had to go to Boots and buy a set of Nuby bottles… Continue reading Nuby Trendz

I haven't felt like writing for the past six weeks, if i'm honest I haven't felt like doing much for the past six weeks. I changed my contraception and honestly it was… Continue reading Six weeks of HELL
