Today has been tough, I've been in a slump since Ellie woke me up at half 5 and I've really struggled to get out of it. I didn't want to get dressed or get ready for the day; that meant I had to go to work and I didn't want to do that either. So… Continue reading You are good enough
Father’s Day
First of all I want to wish all the fathers out there a happy fathers day. I have always known how lucky I am to have a Dad who has always put our family first; a dad who has always been my hero; a dad who taught me to be proud of myself; a dad… Continue reading Father’s Day
Nursery Rhyme Play
For a while now I've been trying to figure out a way to bring Ellie's love of nursery rhymes in to her play. She sings all day long and knows so many nursery rhymes, more than I know and verses I've never even heard of. I've always been envious of those parents who have the… Continue reading Nursery Rhyme Play
Water Baby
I remember taking Ellie swimming while on maternity leave and I clearly remember being in the water 5 minutes and having to get out because she HATED it! The moment her feet touched the water she would scream and cling to me, it didn't matter how much fun I made it look or what I… Continue reading Water Baby
Dummies
Dummies are one of the controversial topics in parenting aren't they? A lot of the debates you find on dummies cover the topic of breastfeeding and whether actually they can hinder the progress of breastfeeding and cause nipple confusion. For us, this was never an issue as I knew from even before being pregnant with… Continue reading Dummies
It’s been a while
What's that saying? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Did you guys miss me or not even notice I'd been MIA. It's felt like a lifetime since I have blogged (although actually only a few weeks) and although I've had lots to write about life's been really crazy and I've not really had any time… Continue reading It’s been a while
Snoring!!
It's no secret that it's been difficult sleeping in our house as hubby is a loud snorer (if you follow my IG you've seen the stories 😂) and it was starting to get me down. I'm not good if I don't get a decent few hours sleep! Ellie would come in not long after we'd… Continue reading Snoring!!
Sickness Bugs
We have gone roughly 2 and a half years without Ellie being ill. As a newborn she was very sicky, she had reflux and an intolerance to cow's milk which of cause made her very sick. It took us until she was around 3 months for her intolerance to be diagnosed and I remember going… Continue reading Sickness Bugs
Stickerscape – GIFTED
I have been toying with the idea of updating Ellie's room a bit, we decorated it to be used as a nursery but actually never used it as a nursery. I remember choosing a lovely yellow paint so that we wouldn't have to repaint as Ellie got older but I have found her room just… Continue reading Stickerscape – GIFTED
Good Friday
It's been so lovely having time off with Luke and Ellie, we all broke up for the Easter half term last monday and this week has been spent getting on top of the housework, it gets so run down when we are both at work and Ellie needs constant attention to function without tantrums. We… Continue reading Good Friday
