LIEBSTER AWARD

I am so shocked & incredibly grateful to have been nominated for the Liebster Award this week. I have only been blogging for a month or so now so to be nominated for an award is amazing. It is incredibly lovely to know that people are not only reading my blog, but they enjoy it too. Thank you so much! 

EVIE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Wow! I can't believe how FAST this year has gone. The scared parents who had no idea what to do with their little fragile baby, are now confident (well semi!) at parenting, are pros at nappy changes & are starting to get more than 6 hours sleep regularly...

A YEAR OF DATES...

How rare is it to get time with your partner when you have a baby? I miss Jamie so much! He is a chef so it was always hard to find time together pre-Evie. Now I am more likely to see the Queen than to spend some time solo with him. (If you date a chef, don't forget to read my post 25 FACTS ABOUT DATING A CHEF).

I really think that it is so important to try & get some baby-free time together. It is amazingly good for your relationship & it even benefits your little ones because you'll come back feeling so refreshed...

10 THINGS I'D TELL MY PRE-BABY SELF!

Recently I was out shopping with my family, trying desperately to find some clothes to fit over my new 'post baby' body shape, when I overheard a conversation a couple of friends were having in the fitting rooms...

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY EVIE!

This year has gone RIDICULOUSLY fast. I cannot believe that the beautiful, helpless little bundle we took home a year ago is such a personality now! She's walking, talking, eating & she is SO funny! I could write so much more but at the moment I'm caught up in the hectic-ness of balloons & cake! I didn't realise how excited I'd be today! She doesn't have a clue what's going on but we're having great fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVIE!

TEETHING: HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH IT?

Oh wow! Teething! I never realised it would be like this. I just want to say now...

 'Sorry mum! For all of the sleepless nights I gave you!'

25 FACTS ABOUT DATING A CHEF

I've been dating a chef for a few years now & every week I dread to see his rota & how little time we'll have to see him... 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

HIGHCHAIR REVIEW: THE BEST CHEAP HIGHCHAIR

I LOVE A BARGAIN! Babies are definitely not the cheapest things in the world. It's crazy how much you need for them. I try so hard to find things low cost & absolutely fell in love with this IKEA ANTILOP high chair. IT's UNDER £15! 

Yes go & get your tissues you bargain hunters, to mop up your tears of complete joy & read on!
