*PR GIFTED This week Reuben turns one! And with my little man being my first child, it’s meant hosting my first ever birthday party. I’ve had umpteen house warmings and socials and planned my own wedding, but none of this prepared me for the emotional […]
* PR GIFTED Life as a mum is not glamorous – something I was never deluded to think otherwise even before I became a mum myself. It’s a hard life; days spent elbow deep at the dirty end of a baby and being devoured by […]
Bath time is a highly anticipated activity in this house. Not least by myself (what frazzled mum doesn’t love a good soak in the tub?), but of course, the littlest man himself. It may be a daily ritual but with a menagerie of flashing frogs and half […]
When your baby starts eating proper food you realise how messy dinner times can be. Whatever the food, it ends up everywhere: down the high chair, beneath the high chair, applied to the face more successfully than eaten, and, somehow, finds its way into the […]
Back in November Reuben posted a very special Christmas card to a royal household. The recipient: our possible future king, Prince George! I was intent on making Reuben’s first Christmas a special occasion; lots of festive activities to enjoy together as our new family, and new […]
This time last year I was pregnant. Twenty-nine weeks by Christmas Day, to be precise, so I’d hit the third trimester and was well and truly blooming. Now I’m as far away from being pregnant for as long as I was pregnant for, I’ve donned […]
Date night was never a thing for us before we had Reuben; being spontaneous we’ve always liked to do things in the moment. If we felt like going for a day out somewhere, we did. If we fancied seeing a movie at the cinema, we did. But […]
I’ve been a big fan of Christmas for as long as I can remember; ever since I was little I’ve started listening to Christmas music in September and I used to play ‘Christmas tv’ with my sister (we so would have owned Youtube had it been around […]
Every baby milestone is a thrill but combine a ‘baby’s first’ with our favourite seasonal holiday of the year and you’ve got one event worth celebrating with a bang. This year it’s Reuben’s first Christmas, so it’s a hugely exciting time for us as first […]
Great fitting bras have been thin on the ground for me lately. You’d think as a lingerie blogger I’d be so inundated with fabulous lingerie that my underwear draw would be bursting at the seams – it is, but not with anything I can wear. I’m […]
I love Christmas! I’m one of those apparently annoying people who starts playing Christmas music in September and I get planning the festivities before the sun’s even dried up the leaves on the trees. This year I’m beyond excited because it’s Reuben’s first Christmas. He’s going […]
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 […]
