little tikes 3-in-1 trike review


The beautiful boy is one happy chappy.
He was sent a brilliant new 3-in-1 trike by Little Tikes to review
and despite the less than outdoorsy weather we've had lately,
he's really been enjoying taking it out for a spin.

smile {see it snap it love it}


Children tend to smile with everything they have.
My beautiful boy smiles from his eyes first.
He always has done.
As a baby he would smile with half his mouth
and then it would spread to the other side gradually.
But it was always there in his eyes.

medela breast care set review


Breastfeeding is hard.
I think any one who has breastfed will tell you
that in the early days it hurts
. . . a lot.
And anything that can make those early days a little better has to be a good thing.

big brother


Becoming a big brother or sister is kind of a big deal.
Your entire world changes in an instant.
You have to share your mummy and daddy.
You get someone to share your childhood with.
And I think it worries most second-time parents,
at least a little bit,
to think of all the big changes to their first born's existence.

bebe au lait nursing cover review


Breastfeeding is really important to me
and it's something which I have really proudly done for both my children.
I have been really lucky and have had really positive breastfeeding experience
but that's not to say that it hasn't been difficult at times.

the story of splodge and me

sleepy bear


There is nothing as beautiful and peaceful on this earth
as watching a baby sleep.
I watch both my babies sleeping before I head to bed myself each night,
they look so innocent, perfect and totally relaxed in their slumber
and it send me happily into the land of nod to see them looking so precious.

music {see it snap it love it}


My beautiful boy is currently in a really 'musical' phase.
He dances constantly,
he sings a lot,
he will stop in his tracks if he hears any sort of music
and will bust out some of his best moves.
Up on his tip toes,
bending his knees,
and swinging his arms.
It's cute and hilarious in equal measure.

fleeting moments


I have no doubt that I am more chilled out as a mummy of a newborn this time around.
I hate to hear her cry but I don't frantically jump up at the slightest whimper.
I'm more relaxed about the advice I'm given because I have some experience of my own to call on.
But I think the main reason I'm so much more chilled this time is
because I know how temporary it all is;
how fleeting this first stage of life is;
how quickly it is over and long forgotten.

play {see it snap it love it}


One of the best things about being a toddler
has to be that every single toy
has infinite possibilities.
When you can't read the instructions on how to play with something
the possibilities for how you actually play with it are endless.

What may look like a basket
makes a very fetching hat.
What may look like a box of mini books
can be used to creat towers or to practise balancing.
What looks like an activity cube
makes a great hiding place.

mummy of two


It still feels weird to think of myself as a mummy of two.
And two under two at that.
In so many ways it feels like I only just got my head around being a parent,
fullstop.
But now I have two little people relying on me,
looking to me for help and guidance and comfort.
It's an awesome responsibility
and an awesome privilege.
I wonder how long it will take for me to stop having those moments every now and again
where I suddenly go,
"These two perfect babies are mine. How did I get so lucky?"

animals {see it snap it love it}


If a dog is a man's best friend
then maybe a cat is a girl's.
Because ever since she came home from hospital
one of our cats has been in love with the beautiful girl.

anyway up 360 toddler cup review


I'll get straight to the point;
we LOVE the 360 cup by anyway up cup.
It's a great design
and has taught my toddler something
which I was starting to worry he'd never learn.

colour {see it snap it love it}


A new colour has come into our house.
A colour which has taken over the shelves, sills and sideboards of our home
in the form of cards and flowers and balloons.
