FRIDAY FIVE: What I’m thankful for…

TODAY’S post is inspired by one of my favourite blogs, the lovely Florence Finds. Yesterday, the founder of the blog Rebecca, published a wonderful little post about being thankful for what we have in our lives – you can read it here – and because I loved it so much, I decided to do my own version for today’s Friday Five.

LIFE: Parenthood – a never ending judgement day

PARENTHOOD is a whole big exhausting bundle of uncertainties. Some can be rather pleasant, lovely in fact. Others, well, not quite so much. But there is one thing that I can tell you about being a parent that I know absolutely for sure. And it is this: Once you are a parent, you WILL be judged.

LESSONS FROM ELSIE: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

IN just a few days time, my little lady will celebrate her first birthday. And I honestly can’t believe it. Everyone tells you that time really does fly and that little ones grow up super fast, but I’ll let you into a secret, I never believed them. I never believed that was the case until well…now.

LIFE: The christening of Elsie Florence

IT’S rare that I post family images but Elsie’s christening was such a special day, that I’ve made an unusual exception to the rule. Here are some of my favourite images taken from Elsie’s big day. I hope you’ll all get a sense of what a magical day it was in our lives. It certainly was a day to remember! Dress: Elsie wore an antique ivory christening gown with tambour lace

LESSONS FROM ELSIE: If you don’t ask, you don’t get

THE other day I was looking after Elsie, doing my best as always to make sure she is happy and comfortable, when a question popped into my head. When do we start to become afraid of asking for our needs to be met? From the mind-blowing minute she came into the world, Elsie has always been a brilliant communicator, helping me to easily figure out what it is that she

FEATURED POST: Dress your babe with style!

*FEATURED POST* YOUR babe may be little but it doesn’t mean you can’t dress him or her with style! Thankfully, today’s baby and toddler clothing is just as chic as the outfits that us trendsetting mums are sporting. Babies are no longer confined to wearing bright colours or t-shirts adorned with popular children’s cartoon characters because of the incredible clothing designers and retailers out there who are creating unique, stylish baby
