In case it's slipped your mind, this Sunday is Father's Day. It's Luke's first and we have grandads to buy for now too, so I've pulled together a little selection of ideas for the dads/grandads in your life. Whether you're looking for something sentimental or sensible, cool or quirky, I've got you covered! Star Wars… Continue reading Last-minute Father’s Day gift guide
This has to be the world's coolest wallpaper. You can either leave it as a rather cool and classy black and white work of art or colour it in - fun for all ages! It's £12.99 for a roll of 52cm x 10m Marvel wallpaper. Thanks, Truffle Shuffle!
Jenson is two weeks old today and my mum is babysitting for a few hours so we can go out for Luke's 30th. It's weird knowing that we'll be baby free and I wonder if I'll be the kind of parent who wants to check in every hour... I doubt it as I know my… Continue reading Jenson: Two weeks old
More cool pencils! This time they've got Finding Nemo quotes and are a rather fetching (and apt) bright orange. Fun! They're £3.75 for a pack of three from Ohh Deer.
Have you seen the crazy-cool Disney range from Vans? I kinda have a soft spot for the Minnie Mouse collection, particularly these slip-ons for £52.00.
Over the last few days I've been sharing my birth story. Although I finished up yesterday's post with the fun details of my emergency cesarean, there's still a wee bit more to come, but don't worry, this is the last one! I was so relieved to be wheeled to recovery with it all over. I… Continue reading My birth story – Part 4
Most of the time you see something in the sale at the end of the season but sometimes you see something summery on offer during the summer. When that's the case, you've gotta snap it up. I love this boat print dress from New Look. It was £32.00 and is now £27.00.
Earlier this week I started blogging about my birth story. You can catch up on parts 1 and 2 here and here... All of the final available options (turning the baby, forceps, cesarean) would be pretty intense but I wouldn't feel a thing. The anesthetist came in to talk to me about an epidural and… Continue reading My birth story – Part 3
We went out for a big walk yesterday (I'm loving my post-cesarean milestones!) and called into B&Q - Luke is customising my old shitty laptop case for me and we needed some spray paint. It's rude not to browse the awesome prints and canvases, even though we're running out of wall space, and I fell… Continue reading Item of the day: Audrey Hepburn print from B&Q
Yesterday I shared the first part of my birth story, which you can catch up on here. The drama continues below... Strong contractions started at 11pm about 20 minutes apart but within a couple of hours they were getting more intense and happening four to ten minutes apart. I popped a couple of Paracetamol and… Continue reading My birth story – Part 2
