Navigating through life as a parent. Food, health, eco friendly products, fashion, days out and playtime.
Some people choose to breastfeed their baby, some don't its 100% a personal decision. However a lot of mums who choose not to say that it's so that they can get a break, I choose not to believe that it has to be one or the other. My first night out after giving birth to... Continue Reading →
In our house we love Strawberries, in fact with a vocabulary of 5 words Izzie had already had our first argument over whether the Strawberries were finished or she was having more. It went something like this; Izzie finished her Strawberries and shouted "more", I said "no, Strawberries are finished", Izzie tried to steal the... Continue Reading →
Its been ages since I posted, I've just not had the chance to sit down a write (if I wanted some sleep too) between Simons work pattern and trying to adjust to Logan and Isabella's changing sleeping habits life has been more than a little crazy.

When Isabella was tiny her afternoon nap was actually quite easy, I actually managed to get them to both nap at the same time. Ok Isabella wouldn't nap in her cot it was on me but I was happy to have a little quiet time, a cup of tea and watch some TV but Logan's... Continue Reading →
Since attempting to go dairy free I’ve been trying to make sensible changes rather than just buy dairy free alternatives. Partly because they’re so much more expensive, but secondly because they taste a bit crap so I’d rather eat something that wasn’t intended to include dairy in the first place. One change I’ve tried to... Continue Reading →

Izzie was never a sicky baby, so when as weaning progressed and the sickness developed... Continue Reading →

Part of his role requires him to be on call and on Thursday he had left on a call out at midnight... Continue Reading →
