For the first time I can remember, I hit my limit. I don’t mean after a crappy day or the kids being a challenge but actually feeling like if my brain processed anything else I was going to shut down. It was a weird feeling. I probably should have noticed sooner but being someone who […]
Megan
flying solo
Since we met, William has always worked away, it’s how we work best. Last year he got a job at home working Monday to Friday which we thought would be so much better… it wasn’t. He didn’t enjoy it and we felt like we seen each other less! So over the summer he got a […]
sleep or lack of… (with Ollie the owl)
It’s been just over 4 months with 2 kids now, it has went SO quick. I’ve definitely savoured those little moments more this time, I think because you realise 2nd time round how fast those early days go you do try harder to just be in the moment even if you are shattered. One of […]

the first 3 months (with Snüz)
How has it been 3 months since Freida was born already?! I want to write a bit about how I have found it 2nd time around but also share how we have got on with one of our most used things baby wise – the SnüzPod! They say the first 3 months of a babies […]
summer bucket + spade list with Frugi
Anyone else a tad nervous for the summer holidays? Abel started nursery in January, he goes every afternoon and loves it (thankfully!). I also love those 3ish hours every weekday where I can chill with Freida or try and get some work done. So yeah, it got me a little worried about how I’m going […]
breastfeeding (round 2)
I’ve been pretty fortunate with breastfeeding in terms of physically managing to do it, many times I’ve seen questions in Facebook groups about latches or blog posts mentioning tongue tie and been thankful I haven’t come across those issues. With that being said, even if you manage to get the physical thing sussed you still […]
the dreaded potty training
Potty training… this was probably my most dreaded step with Abel, I was SO nervous and had no idea where to start. Looking back I don’t really know how we done it, we kinda just let him do it which I think was the best way. We have had a potty lying around since he […]
introducing the Bugaboo Bee⁵
We are pretty sure you will have heard already with it being one of the (if not THE) most popular pushchairs out there that the Bugaboo Bee has had a makeover. We have been lucky enough to test out the new Bee⁵ over the last month or so, putting it through it’s paces with the kids, shopping trips, […]
5 things I plan to do differently with baby #2
With the arrival of baby number 2 getting ever closer it’s got me thinking more about those first few weeks. Looking back at that time with Abel it went past SO quick, we had absolutely no idea what we were doing and had no routine whatsoever. Being in that new baby bubble was the most […]
bump update – 31 weeks
How is it 10 weeks since I last done a bump update on here?! I really felt like this pregnancy was taking it’s time until after Christmas and now it is flying in. So yeah I’m currently 31 weeks, so I could have a baby next month… AHHH! I am so excited though, not only […]
