As any frequent reader of this blog will know…I love a good bit of baby wearing. In fact, I’d quite literally say that its helped keep me sane through my days with two Velcro-babies! From easing baby reflux, to getting little FOMO babes off to sleep (Zachy), to having my hands free to just do … More In Love With…Luxe Carriers
Oh, the hazards of parenting!! I recently buggered my foot/ankle in an entirely ungraceful fashion. How? By running up the rather solid marble staircase in our villa to retrieve my hysterical 3 year old. I thought he had morbidly hurt himself somehow with the screams, but apparently he was just sad to accidentally wake up … More No Rest For The With-Kid
Because…an easy ride is for the weak! #1 – Thou Shalt Kick-Off In The Car Well, there’s no time like the present. Start as you mean to go on and show those parents who’s boss! All that threenage energy has to go somewhere, so why not unleash it in an unholy temper tantrum when Mummy … More The 10 Commandments Of Flying…When You’re A Threenage Hellraiser
Baby-wearing. Wearing my baby. I love it! It’s something I did from Zachy’s very earliest days (after I realised that he was NOT the type of baby happy to be put down AT ALL!) At first it was for the convenience with him, and then it was for the pleasure. I loved keeping him close, … More Ten Reasons I Love Baby Wearing
This post was originally called ‘Things I Can No Longer Do As A Mother Of Two’…but the above title just seemed way more accurate, because, man! A trip to the bathroom is a planned and meticulously executed family affair right now, whereby, WE ALL GO! It’s on the one hand hilarious how mundane tasks (and … More My Kids Won’t Let Me Wee!
It’s Zachy’s 3rd birthday in August. I know – I still can’t quite believe my baby boy is almost 3. How?! He is growing rapidly, and so is his awareness. He seemed so excited by the Christmas just gone, and this time around, he seems to know that his impending birthday is a special day … More In Love With…ImagineMe
Picture the scene. You’ve been up several times feeding the baby that night. She enjoys her final feed (phew) at around 4:30. You drift back off to sleep, hoping to get a few extra Zzzzz, while also being mildly relieved that the night is almost over. Nights are tiring and fear-inducing with a new baby. … More Screen Time… Sometimes It’s Needed
Well, summer came around fast this year! Perhaps it’s because I spent the whole of the winter season pregnant and kinda rushing it away, but wow, where did those cooler Dubai months go?! We’re actually heading away for the summer, back to the motherland of the UK (and the kids’ fatherland of Poland for a … More Do In Dubai This Summer
Ah, the so-called ‘fourth trimester’. Yes, baby is physically on the outside of you, but they’re still attached to you in more ways than one. Indeed, they’re attached to you most hours of the day (and night!) I joke that my two are both “Velcro babies” – they just love to be close to mama. … More Surviving The Fourth Trimester
I love a good birth story. But then again, I kind of don’t. I love hearing about how peoples’ little people came into the world and the pure magic of that moment. That is what I always also enjoy most about watching things like ‘One Born Every Minute’ at least (I always cry!) What I … More The (Somewhat) Magical Birth Bit
