As you may be able to tell, I’m a tad obsessed with my growing little family. I suppose we waited a while until we started a family and now I am enjoying every single second of family life. We didn’t have an easy start as my husband was taken ill when Edward was only two…

Hexagons
I have been busy making hexagons for some time. It’s the kind of craft project you can do when you have 5 minutes and I’m trying to make some every evening. I even managed to take some away on our recent holiday. I didn’t realise quite how many fabrics I had – there’s plenty of…
Simple bib
I seem to have lost my crafting mojo recently. It’s probably due to a lack of ‘me’ time which is natural with a new baby. However, Edward has gone to bed at 7 since we brought him home from hospital and I don’t feel the need to collapse on the sofa after he has gone…
The Gallery: Creatures
So I’ve discovered I have no exciting photographs of creatures. It’s not that I don’t like wildlife I just don’t see much of it living in Zone 3! I have found a lovely photograph of a robin I took at Norwood Cemetery in January 2008. I’ve always been fascinated by the Magnificent Seven: Kensal Green…
The Gallery: Motherhood
The theme for Week 15 of The Gallery is motherhood. Although this isn’t the best photo of me and Edward it’s one which makes me smile. Before I became a mother I had no idea what it really entailed and I’m no expert yet. Edward is now 3 months old and so far I’ve spent…
Immunisations
I took poor Edward to have his twelve week jabs today. Although we got through the eight week ones with barely a whimper it wasn’t the same today. By the time I got him out of his buggy, removed his shorts and held him gently on my lap he seemed to know exactly what was…
The Gallery: Week 14 – still life
I’m having difficulty keeping up with the prompts for The Gallery but I’m really enjoying the opportunity to look at all my photos so I will persevere. Crossbones graveyard, Southwark Some months ago we headed to Borough Market for the morning. Down a side street we came across the memorial gates to the Crossbones graveyard,…
Routines
I’ve realised it’s time to have some sort of routine in our life. For the last three months I’ve completely followed Edward with feeding and sleeping times. Luckily he’s been happy to go to bed at 7 and with a couple of feeds he’ll sleep to 7 the next day. However I want him to…
Growth spurts
Edward slept through the night on Sunday from midnight to six am 🙂 After a bit of googling I discovered that our hungry/sleepy baby may be experiencing another growth spurt. Growth spurts occur at ten days, six weeks, three months, six months and nine months. I learned that cluster feeding, where the baby is feeding…
