A couple of week ago I was really delighted to be asked to take part in a real nappy challenge with some other bloggers. I’ve umm-ed and ahh-ed over real nappies, and whilst I would love to do my bit for the environment, I just didn’t know where to start. I’d already attended a nappucino…

Gingerbread house finds
It’s been a while since I wrote about my thrifted finds but the arrival of Little Sis gave me a great reason to start looking for bargains. There were a few things I knew I wanted to buy but knew we couldn’t afford to buy brand new so I began trying to find them second…
Coping with reflux
Little Sis is now one month old and we all totally love her. Big Brother constantly holds his arms out towards her when he wants to give her a cuddle and spends hours looking at her and giggling or giving her a kiss on her head. His behaviour, for the most part, is lovely and…

Poor Little Sister is just fitting in and going with the flow. She…
A positive csection story
So on Monday the day finally came when we would get to meet our new baby. We dropped Edward off with a friend and drove to the hospital. On arrival we found out that we were the third section booked that morning and there was the possibility of a couple of emergency sections too. We…
My last pregnancy?
I’m not ashamed to admit I don’t like being pregnant. Although it’s completely natural it makes me feel out of balance, I dislike my body shape and spend 9 months on edge – either counting the kicks or wishing the baby would stop turning cartwheels. Being pregnant makes me feel horribly human and responsible and…
