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!
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.

Eight … [Read more...]

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
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...]
