I feel like I haven’t done a Meal Planning Monday post in forever! I do still plan each week what we will eat but what with the move and other things I lost my blogging mojo a bit and this meal planning post fell to the wayside. Last week I decided I needed to be more frugal with our food shopping and to...
Dear Ethan, How am I writing you your 9 month letter? This one feels like a particular milestone as it means I am coming to the end of my Maternity Leave. I’m back to work on the 3rd January and I’m dreading it. I’m just not ready to leave you in someone else’s care while I go to work but I know it’s...
I'm a few days late in publishing this post (even though I was organised with the photos) but I've a really good reason as at the end of November we bought and moved into our first house! Things have been so chaotic that I just haven't had a chance to sit down and write. There are still boxes to unpack, a not so...
Life at the moment is just too hectic. Combine moving house with a mobile baby means I have little free time to bake never mind blog! We currently rent a very small two bedroom house but have purchased a three bedroom with so much more space - I cannot wait to start decorating. The only issue is that as we rent we have...
Before Ethan arrived, Mr T and I loved to go out for meals. We were young professionals with a disposable income with plenty of free time on our hands. Often we would go for a cheeky midweek curry taking advantage of our favourite Curry House’s earlybird offer then on a weekend we tended to go for breakfast and sometimes order a takeaway on...
How is it the 31st already? Yes I know it's Halloween but I didn't make the connection with it also being the day of the Me and Mine posts until I was looking on Bloglovin' this morning. Ethan is currently watching CBeebies while I hurriedly type up this post (mummy fail!). Honestly between family visiting, the half term holidays and organising everything for...
I mentioned in my last post that my parents came to stay for a few days recently for Mum's birthday. Often I miss a lot of the family birthdays with living across the water so having Mum here provided me with the perfect opportunity to bake her a birthday cake. I was really struggling for ideas for ages as I wanted something with...
I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since my last blog post but during that time we have been going through some major sleep issues with Ethan. He's never been a great sleeper but he went through a phase of being massively unsettled on an evening and waking up every 30 minutes or so then waking every 1-2 hours on a night...
Apologies that this post is a few days late but we've had a bit of a whirlwind month from Mr T getting back into the swing of school starting back, the sad loss of my Uncle and the small matter of buying a house... After renting for many years we have saved up the deposit to buy somewhere to call our own. I'm...
I keep deleting what I'm trying to say and think of a good introduction but if I'm honest this is a hard post to write. Last Sunday, 18th September, my Great-Uncle Jackie sadly passed away at the ripe old age of 81. On Sunday afternoon Mr T sent me upstairs for a nap as I was exhausted due to Ethan going through a...
