Babywearing and Me | Izmi Baby Carrier Reviewed

November 15, 2017

Reuben enjoys being carried around but I’ve never carried him in a sling as part of my everyday routine.  I’m not what you’d call a babywearer.  Unlike some of my mum friends who just ‘got’ it and naturally took to babywearing or went to the sling libraries, tried a million […]

  • Can I still say happy national lingerie day for the last half hour of what’s left of the day?! 👙 I’m not myself at the moment and really run down with a cold or sinus bug or something, so that’s my excuse. Also I said lingerie was’t going on here so looks like that was a lie. 🤪 Never mind. Hope you appreciate the pretty colours of this photo and the fact I’m actually smiling. 😄

Can I still say happy national lingerie day for the last half hour of what’s left of the day?! 👙 I’m not myself at the moment and really run down with a cold or sinus bug or something, so that’s my excuse. Also I said lingerie was’t going on here so looks like that was a lie. 🤪 Never mind. Hope you appreciate the pretty colours of this photo and the fact I’m actually smiling. 😄
