33 WEEKS PREGNANCY UPDATE

No, I can’t believe it either, but it is that time again! Time for a quick pregnancy update. This morning as I walked back to my car after dropping Elsie off at school, I realised that I’ve now officially got the pregnancy waddle. Yep, walking has become somewhat more challenging as this bump seems to be getting bigger by the minute, never mind day. (Just call me Katie Duck.) I’m

A SPECIAL BREAKFAST WITH SANTA

SANTA visits have come on a bit since we were children haven’t they? Gone are the days when you could only meet the main festive man in your local shopping centre or perhaps at primary school if you were lucky. For today, you can meet him in all kinds of places and even over breakfast! Which is exactly what happened to Elsie last weekend (and us!), as we tried out

MY ‘BUMP’ SHAPE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

WE all know that women’s bodies are held to the kind of scrutiny that would make lesser mortals squirm. It’s something I’ve spoken about before on here and it’s something that personally, drives me potty. If it’s not the media hurling some body shaming our way, it’s our friends, relatives or the men in our lives. Women’s bodies just are not seen in the same light as mens. They’re not

31 WEEKS PREGNANCY UPDATE

IT doesn’t seem two minutes since my last update, sure a sign as any I think that the weeks are flying by! I’m now in the thirty weeks zone which means in just over two months – all being well – our little chap will be with us. A reality that is certainly beginning to hit home as Jamie and I carry on preparing for his impending arrival and getting

REVIEW: EDUCATION QUIZZES

Yes she’s only four, but she’s a four year old girl who is desperate to learn, (and amazingly!) to achieve. Every day she comes home from school and wants to practice her letters, do some drawing or tell me about the new phonics she has learned that

MY ‘BUMP SHOOT’ PHOTOS!

CAPTURING my growing bump in all of its glory is something I’ve always wanted to do in this pregnancy. I had a maternity shoot when I was pregnant with Elsie and second time around, I knew I wanted to have some special photographs taken again to remind me of this incredibly happy time. Particularly as this pregnancy has gone by so quickly! Being pregnant again for the second time has been

29 WEEKS – A PREGNANCY UPDATE

TIME is continuing to whizz by quicker than I’m comfortable with! On Friday I had my anti D jab (something you need to have if your blood group is rhesus negative) and today marks the first day of my 29th week. Crikey!

REVIEW: THE WITCH THAT COULDN’T DANCE

LIKE so many of you, Elsie and I have been doing all manner of Halloween things this week for half term. On Monday we went pumpkin picking for the first time (which was more fun than I expected!) yesterday we did plenty of Halloween drawings and on Tuesday we made a trip to our local arty place, the Barnsley Civic to see the perfect Halloween performance, The Witch That Couldn’t
