Last Friday Edith was two weeks old. As of today were on our own- Matt is back to work, he has had five weeks off in total with me as we were so lucky that Christmas was just before I gave birth. I genuinely thought we would be fed up of each other by now …
Newborn Photoshoot with Dainty Photography
When I was pregnant I kept seeing all of these beautiful photo shoots of tiny babies. This made me regret not having tiny baby pictures of Erin. I waited until Erin was 4 months old to have pictures taken of her (which were beautiful) they just weren’t the same as the gorgeous newborn phase. I …
The queen of after school clubs!
It’s the end of term and again I have had the flurry of letters asking if Erin would like to do any clubs. Her answer is always yes. Since she started school she’s some tonnes of clubs and I have no idea if I should tone it down or if it’s a really good thing? …
Christmas, Easter bunny, Tooth Fairy- What are the rules?!
With Christmas around the corner, we definitely have our traditions set… but what I have realised is when your little angels go to school they discuss what goes on.

The Girl with Four Birthday Cakes!
Last week it was Erin’s 6th Birthday. Yep, I said 6!!! How has she aged six years? that big purple baby that got placed on my chest in 2012 is no longer, although that makes me sad it also means she’s turned from a baby to my bestie. We are now at the point where …
The reality of “hotel parenting”
Many times we have stayed in a hotel with Erin. The realities of it are far from what I remember being in a hotel was like. BC (Before Child) was a the exciting, relaxing, not having to clean thrill that was staying in a hotel room. Sleep was always going to be epic when your …
