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…
Etsy Finds – Pretty Pastels
I love the freshness of pastels – the candy floss colour of baby blue, pale pink, lemon and peppermint always appeals to me and I find there’s something quite innocent and whimsical about the soft palette of chalky hues. As always, Etsy has plenty to offer in array of pretty pastel tones, so I picked a few of my favourites. The silk kimono robes are a firm favourite of mine, and I may just…
Loves Lately
1. I’m currently going through a phase of updating Henry’s nursery. Pinterest has been a source of endless inspiration for me and Etsy always has plenty of cute and unique nursery decor. The latest additions to Henry’s room are the Mint Chevron Blanket, Hello Sunshine Cushion and Cloud Cushion. I love the pop of colour the yellow and aqua give against the pale grey walls. 2. I received this beautiful vintage style bicycle from Matt…
California Dreaming
I first fell in love with the USA through books. My collection of hundreds of books that held the secrets of other worlds hidden within their pages, waiting to be devoured and relished. We couldn’t afford to go on holiday when I was growing up, so I spent my summers curled up in the shadows of trees, exploring foreign lands through literature. The majestic mountains of Kefalonia in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, the haunting…
The Cosatto 3Sixti Highchair
When it came to choosing a highchair for Henry, I wanted something which was safe, easy to use and quick to clean. The bright and bold Cosatto 3Sixti Highchair fulfils all three requirements. As always with Cosatto products, the design is vibrant and fun. I picked the cheerful Hapi Apple print, but there are seven other colourful designs to choose from, bound to delight babies with their primary colours and repetitive pattern. Eat What…

Henry’s 8 Month Update
Henry’s personality has very much blossomed over the last couple of months. These are the words I’d use to describe our 2ft 4″, blonde haired, blue eyed baby… Tenacious. Stubborn. Vocal. Passionate. Energetic. Impatient. We certainly have a spirited little boy. Henry knows what he wants and makes it clear to all around if he’s not happy with something. (Equally, he laughs loudly and with gusto if something pleases him, and constantly charms strangers…
Life Lately
Matt and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary a few weeks ago. We decided to mark the occasion by taking our first night out since Henry was born. Dinner and drinks were thoroughly enjoyed, but we were a little ambitious staying out until 2am – looking after a teething baby with a hangover and a just a few hours sleep is never a good idea! It felt good to get dressed up again,…
Matalan Hospital Bag Checklist & Giveaway
The hospital bag checklist – on every pregnant woman’s to-do list. It was strange, during my pregnancy with William and Noah, I stayed in the labour ward on five occasions, yet never ‘officially’ packed a bag. After my waters broke with William at 20 weeks, I knew it was just a matter of time before I went into labour, yet I still couldn’t bring myself to do it. When the…
