Lil Gooseberry ~ 32 Week Update

Lil Gooseberry ~ 32 Week Update

Please excuse the incredibly cheesy grin (guess that's what happens when you are trying to take photos without a toddler and puppy trying to help you). Where has the last four weeks gone? It feels like time is going even faster now. And by the look of this photo I have totally popped out in the last four weeks. How far along:  Coming up 33 weeks, time is just flying by. I am now on to fortnightly Midwife visits, that makes the time seem to go even faster! Baby is the size of: A bok … [Read more...]

SNUGPOD – the perfect swaddle every time!

SNUGPOD – the perfect swaddle every time!

Sebastian was a little Houdini when he was a baby, he was the master at getting his hands free. Try as you might no matter how tight you swaddled him, he could figure a way out. Then wake up. He didn't really want his hands free, he just didn't want them where I swaddled them. He wanted the freedom to move, not be swaddled so tightly he felt like an over stuffed sausage. So, a few weeks ago when I was contacted by the lovely Kim from Snugbags about reviewing a Snugpod Zip Up … [Read more...]

DIY Pillowcase Wall Art

DIY Pillowcase Wall Art

When putting Sebastian's NEW Transport Inspired Bedroom together something which I struggled to find that I absolutely loved was wall art. I either found pieces which were not quite right for the look and feel of the room or they were ridiculously expensive and there is no way I was going there for a bit of artwork to be displayed on the wall of my toddlers room for a couple of years. So, after weeks (possibly months) of searching and pinteresting, I decided to make my own (at this point I … [Read more...]

Toddler Fun ~ Threading

October 20, 2015 by lydiaritchie 13 Comments

Toddler Fun ~ Threading

One of my favourite parts of being a stay at home Mum to Sebastian is that I get to watch him learn, develop and grow on a daily basis. He is at an age now where he is constantly learning. Constantly soaking up everything around him, like a two year old sized sponge. I like to foster this ability to learn. During the term time we go to play group and music one morning each a week. The other three mornings we spend our time practicing the art of play - free play, independent … [Read more...]

Transport Inspired Boys Bedroom

Transport Inspired Boys Bedroom

Today I am super excited to be sharing with you Sebastian's NEW Transport Inspired Big Boys Bedroom. This room has actually been a couple of months in the making and even though Sebastian could have probably moved rooms earlier, we held off until his second birthday as we wanted the move to be because he a was a 'big boy' not because the baby was coming and he 'had to' move. The benefit of this was it gave me plenty of time to plan, collect, DIY and upcycle items for … [Read more...]
